A house built entirely through community donations will be auctioned in Sorell on Saturday, with all proceeds going to three children’s charities.
The property at 59 Spoonbill Loop will go under the hammer at 1pm, with public inspections starting from 10am.
Local trades, suppliers and partners donated their time, materials and expertise to build the home from scratch, organised by SJM Property Developments.
“It’s been great to see everyone get behind something that gives back to the community in a meaningful way,” owner of SJM Property Developments, Sam Morse said.
All funds raised will be split between Variety, Starlight and The Smith Family.
“These charities were chosen because of the impact they have locally and the support they provide to individuals and families in our community,” they said.
The idea came from wanting to support children’s charities in an authentic way.
“The owner was really passionate about supporting charities that focus on helping children in need but wanted to do it in a way that felt genuine to what we do as a business,” Morse said.
“Building a charity home was the perfect fit.”
“It allowed us to bring the community together, support important causes, and at the same time provide someone with a brand new house to call home.”
The auction day will feature family-friendly entertainment, including 7HOFM broadcasting live from the site.
A barbecue and coffee truck will also be on hand.
Saturday’s auction offers buyers the chance to purchase a brand-new home while supporting three major children’s charities that operate across Tasmania.
The winning bidder will take ownership of the house.
