Humpty Doo real estate; Top End property; Darwins Netflix famous home sells
A Netflix famous property in Humpty Doo has sold for $1.5 million after four weeks on market.
‘Tropical Oasis Holiday Home’ at 62 Origin Close, Humpty Doo, appeared in season one of the Channel 7 reality show, Instant Hotel, which since streamed on Netflix.
Vendors Kathy Allen and Adam Ryan proudly showed off their 1.86ha property with custom tropical home, resort style pool and flying fox on the show.
The home is spread across three dwellings, all with raked ceilings, banks of louvres and easy indoor-outdoor flow, connected by covered walkways.
There is also a two-bedroom granny flat on the property.
Selling agents Darren Hunt and Daniel Harris took the property to market on April 26 and had it sold in under a month.
“It’s an amazing property and it was certainly popular in the marketplace,” Mr Harris said.
“Darren and I met about 50 buyers at the open homes and had three groups place offers.”
Mr Harris said as ‘Tropical Oasis’ was already an established holiday let, it drew strong interest from investors.
“In the end it was snapped up by a large family with lots of children seeking the ultimate NT outdoor lifestyle,” he said.
“It’s absolutely perfect for them, and we think they’ll be very happy there.
“With the pod design, they can all have their own independent space but they can also congregate on the beautiful communal deck overlooking the pool.”
Mr Hunt said the couple who bought the property came to the first open home – the woman in person and the man via video call from interstate.
“They liked it so much he booked a flight to come up to Darwin and view it in person two weeks later and they bought it on the spot,” Mr Hunt said.
Mr Harris said luxury properties were selling well in Darwin.
“Most of the buyers looking at this type of property are financially established and unaffected by interest rates,” he said.
“The past 12 interest rate hikes have had a far greater impact on the more affordable bracket than this sector of the market.”
