Property investor Richard Moseley’s Bonnie Doon holiday fibro near Lake Eildon in Victoria – which featured in the 1997 comedy The Castle as the serene holiday home of the Kerrigan family – has been finally sold.

It followed its recent asking price being lowered in the new year.

It was listed last November at $240,000, but came with an adjusted $225,000 asking price.

The shack sale price has not been disclosed, News Ltd reported.

Moseley proudly secured the property for $169,950 in 2006 but then first wanted out, unsuccessfully, in 2011.

The two-bedroom cottage – located 165 kilometres from Melbourne at 3491 Maintongoon Road – was listed then at $195,000 in 2011. 

The cast only spent one day there.

The shack sold at $50,000 in 1995, two years before its getting its enduring celebrity status.
