An unidentified Australian father has paid $600,000 over the asking price for a red brick home sitting on 6.7 acres of land in a bid to stop his children from spending all day on their iPads. The 4-bedroom property in Mickleham, 25 miles north of Melbourne, had a list price of $1.87 million, but sold for an eye-watering $2.47 million. The buyer presented his offer that way because to ensure that he would be the highest bidder. There were 3 registered bidders, and the auction was aggressive, with the price rapidly increasing in $50,000-$100,000 increments. The ranch-style home was built in 2000 and features an open living plan. Outdoors, there’s plenty of space for the kids, as well as stables and a studio. The average price for homes selling in the Mickelham area is $683,000.
