We might only be partway through the current season of The Block but talk is already turning to the next one, with the 2026 location already revealed. Next year, the new teams will be head Mt Eliza, a coastal suburb on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, where the series has secured a $11m development site at 109 Old Mornington Peninsula Road. The news was accidentally revealed when members of The Block’s building firm, Nine in Six, were spotted grabbing a coffee in the new area, while wearing their branded shirts.
The site was reportedly purchased earlier this week from former professional race car driver, Rusty French. French originally acquired the land for $2.8 million back in 2007. The sale follows years of attempts to offload the property, including a recent sales campaign that proposed dividing it into 10 blocks. The plans included luxury homes featuring pools, rammed earth walls, and high-end finishes. However, it’s likely The Block team will make changes to the designs before filming begins.
According to realestate.com’s sources, OBrien Real Estate director Stavros Ambatzidis was the one to handle the sale with The Block. Ambatzidis was also rumoured to have been at the 2024 auction for Block, ultimately outbid by Adrian Portelli.
The Block is reported to have purchased six of the Mt Eliza sites, with four of the sites still listed $12.5m.
We’re looking forward to finding out more news about the next season.
