The Block may have wrapped up, but the latest season of the home reno reality show has captured our attention once again.

While the on screen drama might be what kept us watching, it's the homes themselves that live on as property icons.

And it's not just The Block houses that pique our interest, everything from celebrity homes to more infamous dwellings always seem to capture our attention.

Today we look at famous homes you could buy right now; from a Bachelor mansion to a Love Island location
