The 962-square-metre allotment is split into two lots and is zoned medium density, offering the potential for a development.
The successful buyer has the option of demolishing the original home or to move in as is.
Lancashire says the property was purchased by individuals who will more than likely redevelop the site.
The property also includes a private pontoon.
It last sold in July 2002 for $2.5 million, reflecting a 6.85% annual price growth. It also sold in January 2002 for $2.8 million.
The median house price in New Farm is $925,000, a 14.4% decline in five years, according to RP Data.
