A THOUSAND dollars a week in rent can get you a one-bedroom apartment in Sydney, a two-bedroom townhouse in Melbourne or a four-bedroom house in Brisbane.

But in Bargara it will get you a seven-bedroom home with an in-ground pool, pool house and granny flat.

The home is on a 1305sqm property in Beach Milieu, a beach-side estate with larger-than-average blocks.

Listed with Richardson and Wrench Bargara at $995 a week, it's currently the most expensive rental property available in the Bundaberg region - and if it's snapped up at this price it is believed it would set a record for rentals in the region.

Remax property agent Scott Mackey says it's the most he's seen for a long-term lease.

"The advantage it does have is it has a granny flat," he said.
