Scott Cam finally got rid of his property after it languished on the market for more than a year.

Cam renovated the luxurious country getaway during The Block’s 2022 tree-turning season and was listed for an asking price between $4.1 million and $4.3 million in October 2023.

The 62-year-old TV host then lowered the price of the beautiful heritage property in late 2024 from $3.8 million to $3.9 million.

Finally sold this month for an undisclosed sum, the Herald of the sun reported on Saturday.

Located in Gisborne South, 30 miles from Melbourne, this beautiful country house sits on 4.04 hectares in a lush rural setting.

Originally built as a farmhouse around 1866, the house maintains many classic period features, including a wraparound terrace.

Known as Camalot, Cam’s home features a stunning fountain, a 3D-printed concrete poolside cabana, and an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven.

The four-bedroom home includes a massive kitchen with a reclaimed wood island bench and butcher block, two wine refrigerators, and a large walk-in pantry.

Cam’s design style is a delightful combination of rustic charm and modern updates, with elegant stone and wood finishes.

Highlights include French doors, a thoughtful open-plan layout, and the best in state-of-the-art appliances.

There is also an outdoor dining area, a lobby and a private office.

The block auction of 2202 ended in disaster when only two houses managed to surpass the reserve price of $4.3 million.

Omar Slaimankhel and Ozman ‘Oz’ Abu Malik managed to get a record $1.6 million profit for their house at auction.

It comes after reports that The Block host is set to hang up his utility belt and retire from The Block after 14 years as host.

The media personality, who recently turned 62 and replaced Jamie Durie in 2010 during the show’s third season, is said to be frustrated with contestants in recent years.

women’s day reports that Scott has had enough and that 2025 will be his last year, but Nine says that is not the case.

A source alleges that Scott revealed his retirement plans while filming season 20, saying he would only do “this year and next” on the show.

“When Jesse (Maguire) and Paige (Beechey) left the show mid-season, it really surprised him and made him even more determined to leave in 2025,” they said.

‘Scott is very fond of The Block and couldn’t understand why anyone would abandon his hit series and the emotional decision they made.

The Block was originally scheduled to film in Daylesford this year, but complications with receiving permits from the council delayed the renewal until next year.

Producers rushed at the last second to secure a run-down resort on Phillip Island, losing a staggering $9.5 million on Island Cove Villas.

The source said Scott was “bitterly disappointed” when Daylesford was put on the back burner because he wanted to host that season “and then graciously bow out.”

Scott addressed rumors of his impending retirement from Nine’s hit renewal show to Daily Mail Australia last year.

The builder turned reality TV host attended a launch party for the 2023 season of his show and told the crowd he planned to stay for the long haul.

‘Two months ago I signed a multi-year contract with the Nine Network. “It was an easy decision because I love this program and couldn’t think about going anywhere else,” she said.

Scott then said that while he had no immediate retirement plans, when that day came in the distant future, he had the perfect person in mind to take over as host.

“I think the only person who could do it is my current co-host Shelley Craft, that’s right,” he said.

Shelley, 48, added that there was no one better than her to take the reins when the time finally came.

‘That’s my job, right? Don’t I just step forward and then get a partner? she joked.

In 2022, Scott addressed speculation about his future on the show once again, telling Daily Mail Australia that he would be in construction for decades to come.

The veteran operator has a career spanning over 40 years under his belt and has hosted The Block for the past 14 years, seemingly with no desire to stop anytime soon.

“I’m turning 60 this year and I’m in good physical shape. I’m renovating my house now because of the mold caused by the rain,” he told Daily Mail Australia at the time.

‘I have at least another decade with the tools. I recently told my wife: We have 20 years of good health left, so starting January 1 let’s begin a 20-year odyssey of living life.

‘I will continue until I can’t anymore because I love it. I estimate I can last 20 years with the tools and will stop when my body tells me to.’
