Leah and Ash Milton have finally sold House 2 after struggling to find a buyer for four months since The Block Australia season 19 aired last year.
The controversial pair were forced to pass in their home in November when it failed to meet the reserve price of $2.97million at auction.
After months on the market, the Queensland couple announced to Instagram on Wednesday they have finally sold the property for $3.125million – placing them third behind Steph and Gian and Eliza and Liberty.
Pocketing a tidy $155,000 in profit, Leah, 31, and Ash, 38, shared a lengthy message with their fans alongside a series of happy selfies.
‘From the very beginning, our aim was not just to build, but to pour our hearts into every corner, hoping to find someone who would appreciate our creation,’ they said.

‘It’s been a tough few months as we’ve had a few close calls with this sale,’ they continued.
‘Despite the challenges and the doubts, we have remained steadfast in our vision and we cannot tell you how relieved we are that our dream for this house is finally a reality.’
Leah and Ash went on to thank their agents Noel Susay and Halli Moore from Buxton Brighton ‘who have worked tirelessly on this’ and ‘shown unwavering dedication’.

The couple finished their lengthy message by saying: ‘Our home isn’t just a house – it’s a symbol of guts, resilience, and doing things our own way.
‘Here’s to embracing uniqueness and living life with good vibes! Cheers to a new chapter!’
Leah and Ash told Yahoo Lifestyle they sold their home to a family who fell in love with Leah’s eccentric interior design tastes and wishes to live in the house as is.

‘It will be the first house in this series to have a buyer live in the house and the only family purchasing. It’s like back to the good old days,’ she told the publication.
‘The buyers love the style and have mentioned they wouldn’t change a thing.’
The $155,000 profit puts Leah and Ash in third place above Kyle and Leslie Cottone, and Kristy and Brett Beames who earned $130,000 and $65,000 respectively.
Meanwhile, couple Steph and Gian Ottavio remain in first place after making $1.65million, and sisters Eliza and Liberty Paschke in second with $1.05million.
