The five homes from The Block 2026 have officially hit the market.
This season of The Block is set in MacKillop Place, Mount Eliza, with five homes, all carrying price guides between $3.6 million and $3.9 million.
That surprised me. I expected the two houses on the low side to be quoted lower, given they don’t have the bay views the high-side homes do.
Will this listed price remain the same throughout the campaign, or will they adjust the price ranges up?
Each property offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a swimming pool. However, the floor plans, land sizes and parking differ considerably.
For buyers considering these homes, the best choice depends on lifestyle, privacy and space requirements.
House 1: 2 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza
Adam and Jolene
* 4 bedrooms
* 3 bathrooms
* 4-car garage
* 1,008 sqm of land

House 1 provides strong separation across two levels.
The ground floor contains three bedrooms, including one with an ensuite. A central bathroom, laundry and second living area also sit downstairs.
The fourth bedroom occupies the upper level. It includes a large walk-in robe, ensuite and private balcony.
The main kitchen, dining and living zone also sits upstairs. This area opens onto a substantial terrace. A butler’s pantry, wine storage and lift improve everyday function.
A second terrace connects the lower living room with the pool deck. The four-car garage measures about 63 sqm and includes separate storage.
House 2: 3 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza
Chantel and Wyatt
* 4 bedrooms
* 3 bathrooms
* 4-car garage
* 1,004 sqm of land

House 2 combines substantial internal space with strong family accommodation.
Three bedrooms sit on the ground floor. This level also includes a bathroom, laundry and large rumpus room.
The rumpus opens onto an outdoor terrace and elevated pool deck. This creates a separate recreation area away from the main living zone.
Upstairs, the main bedroom includes an ensuite, extensive robes and dressing space. The bedroom sits apart from the main kitchen and living area.
The open-plan upper level measures approximately 78 sqm. It includes the kitchen, dining and living areas, plus a butler’s pantry and wine storage.
A lift connects both levels. The four-car garage provides another clear point of difference.
This property should appeal to families seeking space, storage and multiple entertaining areas.
House 3: 4 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza
Lisa and Rosco
* 4 bedrooms
* 3 bathrooms
* 4-car accommodation
* 1,089 sqm of land

House 3 sits on one of the larger allotments within the development.
The floor plan places three bedrooms on the ground floor. The main bedroom sits separately on the upper level with its own ensuite.
The home’s central living area connects directly with an outdoor terrace. The pool occupies a separate deck at the rear.
A second living area provides valuable separation for families. The layout also includes a pantry, laundry and internal lift.
Four-car accommodation adds practical appeal. It should suit buyers with several vehicles or additional storage requirements. The site also provides generous garden areas around the home.
House 4: 9 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza
Sev and Courtney
* 4 bedrooms
* 3 bathrooms
* 2-car garage
* 1,087 sqm of land
View the property listing
House 4 offers approximately 50 sqm more internal living than the upper homes.
Its entry level includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large living room. One bedroom has an ensuite and kitchenette, which could suit guests or extended family.
The main bedroom sits at the rear. It includes a walk-in robe and ensuite.
Upstairs, the kitchen, family and dining zone form the home’s central entertaining space. A butler’s pantry and powder room support this level.
The living areas open onto covered alfresco spaces and the pool deck.
A lift connects the two floors. The property also has a gated allotment, private backyard and private beach access. This home should appeal to buyers prioritising internal space and coastal access.
House 5: 10 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza
Rick and Tayla
* 4 bedrooms
* 3 bathrooms
* 2-car garage
* 1,435 sqm of land
* Approximately 52 squares in total

House 5 holds the largest allotment of the five properties.
The entry level contains three bedrooms, including one with an ensuite. A bathroom, laundry and large living room complete this floor.
The main bedroom sits upstairs and includes a walk-in robe and ensuite.
The upper level features a substantial family, dining and kitchen zone. A large island bench, butler’s pantry and lift support practical family living.
Both living levels connect with outdoor entertaining areas. The upstairs alfresco area leads directly onto the pool deck.
The property also has a private rear gate. The supplied floor plan places Toorak College about 400 metres away, the beach about 900 metres away and Mount Eliza Village about 1.6 kilometres away.
The 1,435 sqm allotment gives this home considerably more land than the others. We know land typically drives long-term capital growth so this one could be sought after.
Which Block 2026 house offers the best floor plan?
Each home presents a different buying proposition. We are still awaiting the depreciation schedules for each home, but we expect the depreciation to be very attractive to investors.
Houses 1, 2 and 3 offer four-car spots. That feature may prove important for car collectors and larger households.
House 4 provides additional internal living space and private beach access. House 5 offers the largest landholding by a clear margin.
All five homes include pools, lifts and multiple living areas. Each also has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. For the three homes that are elevated on the high side with views of the bay and city, I expect them to be in higher demand than the ones on the lower side. I was very surprised that when the price guides were advertised, there was no lower advertised price for the houses without views.
Buyers should examine privacy, orientation, bedroom separation, natural light and outdoor access. Building quality, warranties and future ongoing maintenance.
A detailed contract review and building inspection remain essential before making an offer.
