Although the surrounding land has been relocated, this family still maintains the house on their 20,000 square meter plot of land.

Having housing areas planned and compensated or paid at high prices is one of the desires of many people. However, this Australian family decided to go against the majority when they insisted on keeping their decades-old house.

Accordingly, since 2012, owners of houses around here have continuously sold their land to investors at good prices to develop housing in The Ponds area near Quakers Hill. However, the owners of the house, husband and wife David and Diane Zammit, are still determined not to waver because they want to continue to stick with the house, even if they are offered a price of up to 50 million dollars (about more than 1,000 billion VND), according to 7News.

The house owns a 20,000 square meter plot of land but refuses to relocate

Up to now, the surrounding houses have been planned and built according to common standards, so David and his wife’s house seems to “lose out” compared to the surroundings.

However, in reality, this special house is quite large and fully equipped. It is known that it can accommodate more than 5 bedrooms, a large garage to accommodate the family’s classic Ford Falcon XR6 as well as a simple basketball court outside. Located in the middle of a land of nearly 20,000 square meters with a 200m long driveway, this special house has a classic look that is completely different from the rest.

The house still “lays dormant” after many years despite dozens of new houses springing up around it

Not only did the neighbors not mind, but they also agreed with the house owner

Not only does it stand tall among a series of identical houses, this couple’s land also “cuts” through a part of this residential area, turning the roads here into dead ends. Despite this, the Zammits still insisted they did not want to move and refused to discuss offers to buy the land.

Commenting on the Zammit family’s case, instead of criticizing, many neighbors seemed to agree with the couple’s decision.

“I’m glad they refused to sell – it means we have a safe cul-de-sac for the kids to play in. Their big lawn next to us makes it feel big and open much more absent-minded,” a neighbor shared.
