The Block’s Scott Cam has given fans a glimpse of what to expect from the renovation hit in 2026.
The 62-year-old TV host took to social media to share an image of the new Block site at Mount Eliza, a coastal enclave on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
Located 62 km from Melbourne, the sleepy small town, with its secluded beaches and bushland surroundings, is known as a prized getaway.
‘Mount Eliza, here we come!’ Scott gushed in his Instagram post, adding: ‘Next year we’re hitting the coast for another landmark build!’
He included a photo of himself posing alongside co-host Shelley Craft and a beautiful picture of the coastline, peppered with homes on leafy streets.
In a cheeky gesture, the celebrity tradie created an emoji ‘pin’ indicating the exact position where the new Blockheads will be building their homes in 2026.

On Wednesday, Nine confirmed the new setting for their ratings juggernaut, a week after Scott had spilled details on Fox 101.9’s Fifi, Fev and Nick brekkie show.
Nine announced that five teams of Blockheads will build five $5 million homes on a block on Old Mornington Road, a high spot on the peninsula that boasts stunning water views.
According to sources close to the production, Nine snapped up the patch for just under $11 million after weeks of negotiations.
New images reveal that Scott actually flew over the site in his helicopter this week to check it out.
Nine released another photo showing a large patch of cleared land and a floor plan of what appears to be a huge home.
It comes after Daily Mail broke an exclusive on The Block 2026 in August.
The site, purchased from former racing driver and Porsche collector Rusty French, spans 1.35 hectares and is subdivided into 10 premium lots.
Six lots have been secured for The Block’s 2026 season, while the remaining four are either on the market or available for short-term lease.

Long-time Block building partners Nine in Six were spotted in branded gear at a local café before the deal was finalised, sparking rumours weeks before confirmation.
The location revelation comes as producers quietly approach big-name talent for a potential ‘celebrity edition’ of the show, with auction proceeds tipped to go to charity.
Whether the celebrity edition will take place in Mount Eliza or is being planned for a future season remains unclear.
At the top of the list are comedy duo Hamish Blake and Andy Lee, Olympic legend Cathy Freeman and various Married At First Sight alumni.
While dream names like Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli have been floated internally, insiders admit those stars are unlikely to sign on.
