Buyers will have to bid blind when 8 Penda Close, Manoora, goes to auction on June 30
The ceiling is caving in, the flooring has gone AWOL and doors have fallen off, but this “rare offering” will go under the hammer later this month.
But anyone wanting to bid on this 915sq m Manoora property will have to use their imagination when it comes to what is could become with some serious sweat equity.
The house was deemed unsafe to enter
It is being sold “strictly on an as is, where is” basis due to the structural condition of the property.
“The home is unable to be safely accessed or represented,” the listing by Ray White Cairns, Cairns Beaches and Palm Cove agents Ray Murphy and Ben Keene says.

In other words, location, location, location!
But what is there is a two bedroom, one bathroom, single level house on a fenced block.
There is also what appears to be an enclosed carport.
