A property owned by alleged poisoning victims Lynton and Brenda Anderson is being sold to settle their estate – but the couple’s accused murderer, daughter Raelene Polymiadis, won’t know if she gets a cent until her proceedings are resolved.
The couple’s 15 Penneys Hill Rd, Hackham home hit the market recently through Southgate Real Estate’s Mike Cross, with the 5718sq m allotment expected to fetch more than $1m.
Mrs Anderson died in hospital on March 15, 2022, while Mr Anderson passed away in April, with their deaths later declared major crimes.
The couple’s daughter was later charged with poisoning her mother with her own insulin.
It is alleged she did the same to her father 12 months later, attempting to make it look like a suicide.
In October, the District Court froze Ms Polymiadis’ quarter-share of her parents’ assets until the criminal charges against her were resolved.
The orders prevent Ms Polymiadis from liquidating the assets or taking out loans against the assets.
If found not guilty she will have access to her share of the profits.
According to the realestate.com.au listing the property has “exciting development potential in high profile location (subject to council consent)”, three frontages and boasts a “high exposure frontage to Main South Rd.”
It also has a three-bedroom historic 1900s-built home, numerous outbuildings and several aviaries.
According to the listing, the property is a “rare sized holding in this location” and is zoned for residential and non-residential use.
Selling agent Mike Cross said buyers shouldn’t be put off by media attention in the property and the court matter wouldn’t impact the smooth process of a sale.
“That doesn’t affect the sale at all, it will still go through as normal, that’s just something that will be determined after the fact,” Mr Cross said.
Mr Cross said he had received 38 inquiries on the property – predominantly from developers – which Sailis records show the couple have owned since 1966.
He said opportunities to purchase land holdings of this size in this location were becoming rarer.
“Most of those blocks have been already developed either a long time ago or just recently,” he said.
“The family have had it for a fair while and all grown up there, so it’s a unique situation to have something for that long in a built-up area.”
The property has been listed without a price guide but Mr Cross said he was expecting interest in excess of $1m.
“It’s a very difficult property to value because it’s not a straightforward one because there’s a heritage order of the land, but it’s in a prime spot for something, so that’s the sort of price indication we’re trying to give people,” he said.
Expressions of interest on the property close on Friday, December 1 at 3pm, with council rates listed at $2770 per annum.
