Adelaide-based real estate agent offers try before you buy opportunity in million dollar mansion

The age-old adage of ‘trying before buying’ has inspired one entrepreneurial Adelaide real estate agent to offer potential buyers of a luxury $1.9m Beverley Hills-style modern mansion in Adelaide the chance to live in it before signing on the dotted line – and a private chef is included as part of the overnight experience.

Timms Real Estate agent, Troy Sgarbossa, said the Australian-first marketing idea was expected to spark interest amongst cash-up buyers keen to secure a high-end home with all the bells and whistles.

"Most people take a new car for a test drive before they decide to buy it, but we don't have the same approach when it comes to buying a home - even though it is the single largest purchase decision we typically make in our life," Mr Sgarbossa said.

"Instead, a buyer commits with an untested understanding of how it might accommodate and enhance their lifestyle, but by offering serious buyers the chance to enjoy an overnight experience means they can try out its many features and appreciate the quality and lifestyle that this amazing luxury home offers," he said.

Mr Sgarbossa said the eventual sale price of the Craigburn Farm home, which is the first in the street to ever come onto the market, is expected to exceed the area’s sales record of $1.7m and redefine the way luxury homes are offered.

“With a living area of 600sq/m sitting on a 950sq/m block, there has been no expense spared on this 4-bedroom home. It spans across four levels and offers five large living areas – including a fully equipped home cinema room – so there is something for the entire family,” Mr Sgarbossa said.

“Offering parquetry flooring throughout and quality stone benchtops, the home also has an integrated C-Bus home automation system that features four zoned music areas, as well as his and hers walk-in robes to the master bedroom for that added sense of opulence,” he said.

“Outside, the classic luxury theme continues with a Balinese inspired hut and day-bed overlooking the sparkling pool and spa that has been custom-designed by the owner.”

The property also has uninterrupted views of the natural bushland of the Sturt Gorge Recreation Park, and is close to the nearby lake and bike and hiking tracks.

“People simply won’t be able to take in everything at an open inspection, so we are pleased to provide interested buyers the chance to stay obligation-free in this remarkable home, enjoy some family time, take a walk around the neighbourhood, try out the many features and enjoy a meal prepared by a professional chef,” Mr Sgarbossa said.

"This is the perfect property for a powerhouse executive and family, and in addition to interest from the local market we expect to field enquiries from overseas buyers as well as those who have been used to spending similar money on the eastern seaboard for a property that is half the size,” he said.

To secure an overnight stay, a would-be buyer will need to demonstrate that they are genuine, and enter into an agreement similar to that required by a hotel.
