The Kerrigan's The Castle Bonnie Doon holiday shack back for sale
Property investor Richard Moseley’s Bonnie Doon holiday shack near Lake Eildon in Victoria – which featured in the 1997 comedy The Castle as the serene holiday home of the Kerrigan family – has returned to the market.
Moseley proudly secured the property for $169,950 in 2006 but then wanted out, unsuccessfully, in 2011.
The two-bedroom cottage – located 165 kilometres from Melbourne at 3491 Maintongoon Road – was listed then at $195,000. After no doubt being told that he was "dreaming", the asking price eased to $169,950.
John Canavan First National agent Ryan Daykin has it listed at $240,000, Channel 9 News reported.
Moseley, a Sydney telecommunications technician, bought it sight unseen – other than of course having viewed the iconic movie.
It has been a popular rental since featured as the original holiday home of the Kerrigans - headed by actor Michael Caton - from Australia's favourite movie, The Castle. The home consists of two bedrooms, open plan kitchen, dining and living area, bathroom and laundry.
It is situated on a good-sized block opposite the lake and approximately 500 metres from the boat ramp.
Actor Michael Caton headed the cast including Sophie Lee as his daughter Tracy, Eric Bana as son-in-law Con and Bud Tingwell as Lawrence Hammill, the QC who helped them save their cherished home under the flight path.
The cast only spent one day there - with the film shot in just 11 days.
