Australians have spent many an hour laughing, gasping, and sometimes yelling at their screens as they tune in to the nation’s most beloved renovation show, The Block. It’s a show so popular, that we’re currently tuning in to its 21st season, with The Block 2025 auction expected to air next month. And, given the astronomical success of the show, it’s fairly safe to assume that its host, Scotty Cam, has netted a pretty penny from his role over the year – which he has clearly put to work in the property market.
Since 2010, we’ve seen Scotty walk around various construction sites in his work boots offering nuggets of reno wisdom as he readies himself to shout ‘tools down’. 2022’s Gisborne season even saw him renovate his own home, ‘Camalot’. “I love historic homes and bringing them back to life,” he told Homes to Love at the time.
But as a builder with 40+ years of experience who lends a hand creating The Block‘s increasingly luxurious homes every year, one has to wonder: where does Scotty Cam live?
Where does Scotty Cam live?
Well, there’s no single answer to that question. As it turns out, Scotty Cam has (perhaps unsurprisingly) gathered a portfolio of real estate over the years worth millions, which he doesn’t even live in himself most of the time, renting out properties near the filming locations of The Block each year for months at a time. “If you’ve got a house in Mt Eliza I could rent, give me a call!” joked Scotty Cam in a recent radio interview, referring to the 2026 location of The Block.
His multi-million dollar property portfolio includes a Narrawallee holiday home he bought for $670,000 in 2012 (which, accounting for capital growth, is likely to be worth around $1.1 million today), the $2.2 million Melbourne challenge apartment from The Block‘s 2016 season (that is likely valued at more than $3.5 million by now), and a home in Rosebery he apparently rents out, that was purchased in 2001 for $750,000. Given Rosebery’s 6.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) – the area’s average – it could be valued at $3.5 million today.
He also had a farm near Mudgee, which he reportedly sold in 2023 for $3.1 million, nearly double what he paid just seven years earlier when he purchased it for $1.35 million.
But as for the place he and his beloved wife Ann rest their heads (when he’s not filming The Block of course), it is a Mediterranean-style mansion in Sydney’s exclusive suburb of Vaucluse. The purchase dates back to 2012 (two years after his debut on The Block) when it was purchased for $4.6 million.
Inside Scotty Cam’s Vaucluse home
Scotty Cam’s impressive four-bedroom, three-bathroom, Mediterranean-inspired Vaucluse home was first listed in 1996 for $2.6 million. 14 years later and Scotty and his family signed on the dotted line for $4.6 million.
Sitting on the corner of the popular Vaucluse streets, the towering home cascades down several stories onto the street level.
Boasting terracotta interiors and distinctly Mediterranean flavour, this grand family residence is an established home that has plenty of stories to tell.
More than 10 years later, Scotty Cam’s Vaucluse property is now worth an estimated $10.3 million, according to Domain‘s property estimate. Not bad, Scotty, you could even beat Steph and Gian’s 2023 win!
Scotty Cam outdoor area features a spa, a series of alfresco terraces, a lush and private garden, and it wouldn’t be a luxury celebrity home without a swimming pool, now would it?
