The once peaceful property, now bearing a dark past, has been thrust into the public eye after a tragic incident. The home, where neighbor Alan Dare was tragically killed before three perpetrators were shot by police, is now on the real estate market. The listing has caught attention on popular sites like Realestate.com and Domain, with an asking price of $190,000.
Described as a “large lifestyle block,” the property spans 43 hectares and includes a modest two-bedroom house, a small dam, and a house paddock. The listing highlights its unique history, noting that it is part of the deceased estate being sold by executors.
The sellers express hopes for a swift transaction, seeking a buyer who will handle the property with the respect its past demands. However, potential buyers should be aware that the house is not connected to the electrical grid or water, adding a layer of complexity to its appeal.
“Being sold as part of executor responsibilities for a deceased estate. Hoping for a quick sale to someone who will be respectful of the property, considering its history.”
The listing also mentions the house is not connected to the electrical grid or to water.
Images of the house show a copy of a gun magazine in the lounge room, and a gun safe in another room, revealing it has apparently not been changed from when the Trains lived there.
Realestate.com.au claimed it had removed the listing after it was deemed inappropriate.
“The images on the listing were removed as soon as they were brought to our attention,” a spokesperson for the company told 9News.
At the time of writing, however, it is still visible on their website.
Speaking to the newspaper, he said negotiations had stalled.
”It reached a point where a conveyancing contract was drawn up, price agreed, comments went back and forth and amendments were made, however it was never signed and things have sat dormant, with no update from them since October 2025,” he told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“I still remain open to selling it to the [union] but it has reached a point where I need to keep my options open to ensure the sale of the property progresses at a reasonable pace.”
QPU president Shane Prior said he was “surprised” to see it listed, as the organisation was looking to buy it to keep the property out of public hands.
“The QPU has been negotiating in good faith,” he said.
“The QPU is currently undertaking appropriate due diligence in considering the option to purchase the Wains Road property. This includes fiduciary considerations relating to expenditure of member funds for both the purchase and the ongoing property maintenance.”
