Shelley Craft yet to sell Byron Bay home

The Block television personality Shelley Craft and her estate agent husband, Christian Sergiacomi, didn't find a buyer when their Byron Bay hinterland home, The Rise went to school holiday auction.

The tropical five bedroom, three bathroom hideaway sits on 6,100 square metres at Ewingsdale in the hinterland.

The five-bedroon Ewingsdale offering has around 290 square metres floor space.

Jeremy Bennett, of Capri Sales has it listed at $1.5 million plus.

It has been home to The Block co-presenter and husband, known as Serge, who has been a cameraman on The Block, since they bought it in 2010 for $1.61 million.

The couple recently spent $2.05 million on an 8,050 square metre property at neighbouring McLeods Shoot, a substantial discount as it had been initially listed for sale at $3.5 million-plus in 2010.

The couple are busy building on the property which was long owned by the McGettigan pioneering family who who first settled in Byron Bay in 1882.
