HAZELWOOD ESTATE

The 1981-built home features exposed timber beams, red patterned carpet, a timber kitchen, retro bathrooms and ornate plasterwork. The grounds include fenced paddocks, a sand horse track, stables, a tack shed, workshops and a pool.

The couple shared a walkthrough video of the home, revealing a clear vision for what it will become.

“We’ve had a really clear vision for this from the start,” they shared. “How it will feel, how it will look, the kind of space we want to create here.”

TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING

Britt and Taz announced the purchase to their followers, saying they had spent a decade searching for “a little farm near the ocean.”

They acknowledged the property needed significant work but said they bought it for its potential.

“After years of searching, missed opportunities, and wondering if this dream was simply out of reach… this property came along,” they wrote on Instagram. “And the moment we saw it, we just knew. Not because she was perfect – she’s over 40 years old and in desperate need of love – but because we could see everything she could become.”

They confirmed Hazelwood Estate is “more than just a house” and teased that it’s “a new project, and something completely different again” – urging their followers to stay tuned as renovations begin.

AFTER THEIR $520,000 BLOCK WIN

The purchase comes after Britt and Taz won The Block last year, with their Daylesford house selling for $3.41 million at auction – $420,000 above its $2.99 million reserve. Combined with the $100,000 winner’s prize, the couple walked away with $520,000 in total winnings.

Their Daylesford build centred on a modern organic luxury theme and featured a Pilates studio that divided judges during the series but helped the home stand out at auction.

Hazelwood Estate represents a bold new chapter – and they’re already excited to share it.
