The house at 140 Main Rd, Walhalla, is for sale.
A property in regional Victoria where the Liam Neeson action thriller Ice Road: Vengeance was filmed is for sale.
The house is in the Gippsland historic gold mining town of Walhalla where the Ice Road sequel, also starring Fan Bingbing and Bernard Curry, was made.
The movie was released in US cinemas and on Netflix in 2025.
The house at 140 Main Rd has an almost-100-year-old-shed where the exterior was transformed into a carpet factory for Ice Road: Vengeance, with the crew concealing Mr Burton’s water tank behind sheets of iron.

Scenes filmed outside the shed included a stand-off between the main characters and the villains.
Owner Malcolm Burton said he was “hiding in the garden” to watch the action before cameramen invited him to stand behind them.
Mr Burton also recalled having breakfast out the front of his two-bedroom home as a truck from the movie filmed part of its action sequence on the road outside.
Mr Burton said his family had been travelling to Walhalla since the 1970s and he had inherited the address where he built the house, with builders and tradespeople, in 2020.

He and his partner have used the abode as a weekender and also as a home, with Mr Burton installing natural stonework throughout the garden.
“After spending time Broome and WA, I liked it here because it was a green, temperate getaway in the mountains,” Mr Burton said.
“I love the front desk, it’s really nice sitting out there look up the valley at the mountain mist which comes down and travels through the eucalypt trees.”

The house, designed by architect Sue Mitchell, was created to replicate a late 1800s old miner’s cottage.
“The architect enlarged it so that it has high ceilings. modern dimensions and a separate mudroom and laundry and a main bedroom with an ensuite,” Mr Burton added.
“There’s a small Coonara wood heater which does a great job of keeping it cosy.”

Set on a 898sq m land parcel, the 7-star energy rated residence features European Spruce ceilings, two bathrooms and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.
The home, built with fire safety in mind, was constructed from materials which won’t burn or ignite when exposed to a direct flame.
A merbau timber deck looks out to Stringers Creek and the house’s elevated position offers views across the town.
Relaxing on the veranda is a favourite past-time of the owners.
The shed could also be used for storage, as a workshop or a private museum-style space, subject to planning approvals.
Mr Burton said he and his partner had loved living in Victoria for the past five years but they were now planning a move back to his partner’s home state, NSW.
The house, priced at $605,000-$665,000, is listed with Barry Plant’s Maree White.
Ms White said the abode would make for an ideal weekend getaway, short-term rental accommodation or suit a buyer who wanted to live in a small community.
