For Lisa and Rosco, the end of The Block was supposed to mark the moment they could finally take a breath. But after months of demanding renovations, a newborn baby and an auction day that tested their nerves, the couple had something much bigger waiting for them back in Western Australia.
Their Mount Eliza property sold for an impressive $4 million, leaving them with a $550,000 profit above their reserve. Yet rather than booking a well-deserved holiday, Lisa and Rosco have revealed that their next move is already planned — and it has everything to do with the future they want to build for their two young boys.
In an emotional new interview, Lisa has opened up about how they intend to use the money, why the result means so much to their family and what really happened during the extraordinary auction that left them celebrating into the early hours.
A $4 MILLION RESULT — AFTER ONE OF THE LONGEST AUCTIONS OF THE DAY
Lisa and Rosco’s journey to auction day was anything but ordinary.
The auction reportedly lasted around 40 minutes, with bids continuing long after the couple thought the contest might be over.
Lisa later described their auctioneer, Mark Nunn, as something of a magician for repeatedly finding ways to keep the bidding moving.
Their excitement was made even more special by the presence of their newborn son Jude, who had arrived just over a week earlier, on October 23.
For Lisa and Rosco, it was an extraordinary moment: a major financial result, a brand-new addition to their family and the culmination of months of hard work, all coming together in a single afternoon.
A NEW BABY, A BIG WIN — AND A CELEBRATION THEY DIDN’T EXPECT
The celebrations did not end when the auctioneer’s hammer finally fell.
The Western Australian couple had spent months transforming their Mount Eliza property as contestants on The Block 2026. When their House 3 finally went under the hammer, the result was far from a straightforward affair.
With a reserve price of $3.45 million, the property eventually sold for $4 million, delivering a $550,000 profit.
The auction reportedly lasted around 40 minutes, with bids continuing long after the couple thought the contest might be over.

A NEW BABY, A BIG WIN — AND A CELEBRATION THEY DIDN’T EXPECT
The celebrations did not end when the auctioneer’s hammer finally fell.
Speaking to Woman’s Day, Lisa revealed that she and Rosco later met the woman who had purchased their home — and ended up celebrating with her well into the early hours.
“She was such a vibe,” Lisa said.
“It was the perfect ending to the day. The drinks were flowing and we had an acoustic guitarist doing his thing.”
The evening became a gathering of familiar faces, too. Adam and Jolene, along with their family, came over to join the celebrations, while Tayla and her friends also made an appearance later.
After such an intense experience, the chance to celebrate with the person who had bought their home made the ending feel particularly special.
It was not simply about the money. It was the relief of finally reaching auction day and seeing all those months of effort turn into a result they could take home to their family.
WHY A HOLIDAY IS NOT IN THEIR PLANS
After everything they had been through, many might have expected Lisa and Rosco to step away from building for a while.
They had spent months working on The Block, managed the challenges of being away from their toddler son Lando and welcomed baby Jude just days before the auction.
Surely a break was deserved?
Apparently not.
Lisa revealed that the couple are heading straight back to work on a project of their own in Western Australia — the farmhouse they have been dreaming of completing for their family.
And the $550,000 profit from The Block will help them take a major step towards making that dream a reality.
THE FARMHOUSE WHERE THEIR BOYS CAN GROW UP
Sharing exclusive photos of their Western Australian property with Woman’s Day, Lisa explained that the couple intend to put their auction winnings towards finishing their dream farmhouse on their country block.
The vision is a home where Lando and Jude can grow up with plenty of space, freedom and the opportunity to enjoy a childhood surrounded by nature.
“For the winnings we plan to put it towards our dream farmhouse build on our country block where the boys can grow up and run wild and free with a few animals we collect along the way,” she revealed.
It is a particularly meaningful plan because the couple have already done much of the work themselves.
Lisa explained that they had half-built the property before their time on the show, but had not yet been able to finish it exactly as they had imagined.
Now, the auction result gives them the opportunity to complete the project properly.
“We’ve half-built it ourselves, so we will now be able to finish it off exactly as intended and will take so much inspiration from our Mt Eliza house for the fit-out,” she said.
For Lisa and Rosco, the experience of building on television has given them more than a financial boost. It has also provided fresh ideas and inspiration for the place they hope their children will one day call home.
Lisa was particularly grateful for the opportunity, saying the show had given their family a much-needed helping hand.
“We are so incredibly grateful for The Block for giving us this leg up… We literally left The Block to go work on our Block!”
LISA RESPONDS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AUCTION RESULTS
The 2026 finale also produced an unusual result: all five teams walked away with profits.
Given the difficult conditions facing parts of Australia’s property market, some viewers questioned how every contestant could achieve a successful auction result.
Lisa was asked about the speculation surrounding the auctions and whether the buyers were genuinely interested in purchasing the properties.
She defended the buyers’ intentions, explaining that her own real estate agent personally knew many of them and had met several before auction day during the home opens.
“My realtor personally knew of most buyers and met most of them prior to auction at the home opens and they all seemed genuine,” she said.
Lisa also offered her own explanation for the strong demand in Mount Eliza.
She pointed to the limited availability of new-build properties in the area, noting that much of the local housing market consisted of established homes.
She also believed Mount Eliza’s position as a blue-chip property market, along with the potential depreciation benefits associated with newer properties, made the houses attractive to buyers.
Her comments were her own assessment of the market and the people she encountered during the auction process.
THE NEXT CHAPTER IS ALREADY UNDERWAY
While The Block may have come to an end for Lisa and Rosco, their building journey is far from finished.
They now have a newborn son, a $550,000 auction profit and a farmhouse that has been waiting for them to return.
The couple’s next challenge will be turning the money and inspiration from Mount Eliza into a home that reflects the life they want for their children.
And after everything that happened during filming, there is something especially touching about the fact that their biggest dream was never just about winning an auction.
It was about creating a place where their family could grow, where their boys could run freely and where all those years of hard work might finally feel worth it.
As for anyone considering applying for The Block’s 2027 season, Lisa has a simple message: take the chance.
“Highly encourage anyone who is on the fence about The Block to give it a crack!”
