The late Potato Point resident left her home to Ronald McDonald Charity House and it will be sold to fund the group’s work with children suffering serious illnesses and their families, including in the Eurobodalla.
In a rare move, two real estate agents are suspending territorial instincts to jointly auction the home for the charity, on site on October 1.
Aristotle Stavros, for Raine & Horne, Batemans Bay, and Karen Herrick, for LJ Hooker Moruya/Bodalla are hoping the bids will fly from 11am on the day.
“We are both very excited to be appointed the agents to market this house on behalf of the charity,” Ari said.
“Myself and Karen Herrick are eager to achieve the best possible price, as all proceeds from the sale will be donated to the charity.
“Buyer interest has been around the $300,000 mark. We are hoping via competition, we will see a price above this mark. Potato point is just so unique. It is such a secluded, private little village.
“It is the first time in my career I have come across it in 20 years of selling homes,” he said.
“The response from people I have been talking to has been that they are genuinely impressed that somebody would donate this,” Karen said.
Ronald McDonald House Charity supports Fiona Lodge at Rosedale.
The house at 19 Bodalla Road is open for inspection each Wednesday and Saturday from 11-11.30am.
