After months on the market, the Queensland couple announced on Instagram on Wednesday that they have finally sold the property for $3.125 million, placing them third behind Steph and Gian and Eliza and Liberty.
With a cool $155,000 in winnings, Leah, 31, and Ash, 38, shared a lengthy message with their fans alongside a series of happy selfies.
“From the very beginning, our goal was not just to build, but to pour our hearts into every corner, hoping to find someone who would appreciate our creation,” they said.
