The price tag of The Block's housing plots for its 2025 series has been revealed. The 21st season of the popular Nine reality series will set up production in Daylesford in central Victoria. In a never-before-seen twist, contestants will be required to complete the shell of a five-bedroom floor plan, as opposed to renovating existing properties in previous seasons.

According to News Corp, Nine dropped almost $10million to acquire the land that will be sub-divided into five separate lots. The publication reported that the Nine-owned company Micjoy Pty Ltd took ownership of the parcel of land for $9,445,801.00. The figure is on par with previous Block purchases, with Micjoy dropping $10million on the notorious Gatwick Hotel in Melbourne for the Block's 2017 season.

Situated in lush countryside 111km from Melbourne, the tiny town has become a popular weekend getaway destination for those living in the big smoke. But leaders of the community, a population of 10,000, have concerns over how the hit show will influence the town's 'image'.
