The Milado Family Sells Iconic Property After Decades in Australia
A Family’s Stand
For decades, the Miliado family’s three-acre property in Salisbury, Adelaide, “stood untouched—a green holdout surrounded by rapid development.” Their refusal to sell honored a promise to their late parents and preserved a piece of heritage.
A Time Capsule
Bought in the early 1950s, the land reflected a slower, self-sufficient lifestyle. At its heart was a modest 1955 home, “rich in mid-century charm and original features—a time capsule of Australian domestic life.”
The Sale
Eventually, the emotional and financial weight grew too heavy. The next generation reluctantly put the property on the market for AUD 3.6 million. Interest surged, with “over 20 bidders” pushing the final price beyond AUD 6 million. Agent Tom Hector said the sale was “deeply emotional. It wasn’t about profit—it was about legacy.”
Legacy and Change
Now slated for new homes and community spaces, the land symbolizes progress. Yet the Miliado story endures as a reminder that every plot carries “a family, a history, and a heartfelt choice between holding on and letting go.”
