The 24 Dudley Road property in Wonga Park, Melbourne, changed hands for A$1.375 million on December 6, 2025.
A 160‑metre, five‑inch gauge miniature railway has been part of the estate since its 2005 sale, a feature long marketed as a family attraction.
The original 2005 listing on View advertised a half‑acre A‑frame home with five bedrooms and a tunnel‑shaped track, fetching A$420,000.
The 2025 listing on realestate.com.au highlighted upgraded stone benchtops, a Miele‑branded kitchen, and a powered workshop, while still showcasing the electric train, timber trestle bridge and mature fruit trees.
Local resident and former owner Rajesh Patel said the railway had become a community gathering spot, drawing families from neighbouring suburbs.
With the price tripling over two decades, analysts say the property exemplifies the impact of niche amenities on Melbourne’s high‑end market; a new listing is expected to hit the market next month.
