Ridiculously cheap: capital region property listed for $170k

A Brisbane property close to the water has been listed for sale for just $169,950 but there is a catch.

That price includes a kit home in a large shipping container that is ready for construction.

Located on a 761sq m bush block on Russell Island, the sale includes the “surprise gift” in that shipping container.

Ms Brett said the owner was selling as they had decided to stay on the mainland.

“They have grandchildren and want to stay close to them,” she said.

“I know she had put the plans into council and they were approved.

“It is definitely a good property and a beautiful area, very charming.”
