Selling The Block: Meet the agent behind Daylesford’s wellness-inspired dream home

In this episode, REB’s Liam Garman sits down with Mark Nunn – director and principal of Buxton Ballarat and the listing agent for House 3 on The Block – to go behind the scenes of this season and explore why Daylesford is fast becoming Victoria’s hottest lifestyle market.

As the listing agent for Britt and Taz’s “Wellness House”, Mark lifts the lid on the features turning buyer heads in Victoria’s “spa country” – from saunas and yoga studios to design-led living tailored to post-pandemic lifestyles.

Mark then examines the surge in buyer activity across regional Victoria. In particular, how proximity to the city, improved infrastructure, and demand for short-stay accommodation have all contributed to strong capital growth across the regions. They then turn to why Daylesford, in particular, is now front and centre, thanks to The Block’s national spotlight.

They then discuss what buyers are really looking for in 2025 – turnkey properties, wellness-focused design, and flexible homes that blend lifestyle with liveability – and how this informed the strategy for House 3.
