When John Couch made the decision to sell his home in southeast Melbourne, he cried.
They could have been mistaken for tears of joy as he pondered a potential $1 million profit on flipping a home he'd bought only 12 years ago, but they were really tears of pride at how he'd transformed a humdrum corner of suburbia into something akin to a lavish Balinese resort.
'I have put my heart and soul into it... I cried walking around and thinking about selling,' Mr Couch told realestate.com.au.
A vendor and landscape gardener, Mr Couch purchased the property in Cheltenham in 2006 for $315,000 and has spent the past 12 years transforming a rundown 1970s house into a tropical oasis inspired by his trips to Bali and Miami.

'Once that door is shut it doesn't matter what suburb you're living in, you're in paradise. Whoever gets this house will be living the dream.'
He hired a Bobcat and began transforming his 600-square-metre property into something out of a holiday brochure.
The result was a haven of foliage, complete with a three-tiered pond and water feature with a Buddha statue, chicken coop and an entertainment deck with a built-in fireside bathtub.

It has just been put on the market with an asking price of between $1.1 and $1.2 million, with Hocking Stuart Mentone agent Robert Pullia saying its one of the best gardens he has ever seen in the heart of suburbia.
But for those potential buyers worried about maintaining the beautiful garden, Mr Couch said it was deceptively low-maintenance.
He decided not to plant any tropical trees, instead choosing ones that suit the relatively dry climate of Melbourne's summers and winters.

The home has the potential to fit 200 guests in the garden, making it an entertainer's delight, or it would suit a young couple, Mr Couch explained

All it requires is general weeding, mulching and a few 'big garden days a year' to cut back the palms.

It's also close to the Direct Factory Outlets, train station and local shops.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
