A recently widowed grandmother, June Smith, shocked the world when she won a £6 million mansion for a mere £25 in the Omaze Million Pound House Draw. However, just three months later, she has decided to sell this luxurious property. The spacious six-bedroom house, situated in Cornwall, England, was the largest house ever given away in a contest in Britain and came with no mortgage, stamp duty, or legal fees. On top of that, June also received £100,000 in cash to support her relocation.
June, a 74-year-old woman from Essex, lost her husband Ron last year after he suffered a heart attack. With three children and six grandchildren, June was uncertain about the future of the stunning waterfront property. Local estate agents estimated its rental value to be anywhere between £5,000-7,000 per month and up to £14,000 per week during peak season as a holiday let. Initially, June stated that she would keep the house “for a while.” However, the concrete and glass masterpiece is now listed for sale on real estate website RightMove for £4.5 million, maintaining its original valuation.
Described as a “striking, state-of-the-art waterfront home,” the mansion offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Fowey Estuary in Cornwall. It features a spacious sitting room with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a modern kitchen, a chic dining room, a private mooring, and a yoga studio at the end of the garden.
June’s decision to sell the mansion stems from her desire to aid her children and grandchildren in their future endeavors. She wanted her family to experience a memorable holiday in the house before putting it on the market. June shared her excitement about winning and her surreal experience, stating, “I knew winning this house would change my family’s life, and that’s precisely why I’ve chosen to sell it now. I want to utilize the money to support my children and grandchildren as they begin their next chapters.”
Reflecting on her late husband’s influence, June believes he played a role in her astonishing win. She feels that Ron would have cherished the house’s design and is confident he is looking down on their family with pride. June concludes, “Ron always wanted us to be financially secure, and this house ensures just that.”
