Farmer Wants A Wife couple Jo and Rob Hodges are set to make a new life in Queensland after listing their former home in South Australia.
The couple, who met on season two of the dating series in 2008, purchased the historic five-bedroom, two-bathroom pad in 2020 for $825,000.
Situated in Mount Gambier, 435 km from Adelaide, no price has been listed for the 1890s-era property, with expressions of interest closing next month.
Rob and Jo Hodges, who married in 2010, moved their family to Noosa in 2024.
Jo, 47, has been a frequent visitor to Mount Gambier, where she maintained her wellness centre The Nourish Nook, since the relocation.
This week, she confirmed to The Advertiser that she was ready to cut ties with her old hometown after closing the business in late 2025.

Located just minutes from the famed tourist destination of Blue Lake, the Hodges’ Mount Gambier home mixes heritage detail with modern luxury.
Features include the beautiful original stone dolomite façade, classic wraparound verandah and the original front door.
There is also a grand entrance, bay windows in the living areas, soaring ceilings and a marble fireplace.
There’s also a formal private dining room and a study that can also function as a bedroom, a wine cellar, gas floor heating, and a sprawling modern kitchen, which boasts a large breakfast bench.
Old World style is prominently featured in the main bathroom, such as tessellated floor tiles and a claw-foot tub.
The home has a colourful history, including time as a private hospital and later a maternity ward.
Jo announced her family’s move to Queensland on Instagram back in 2023.
‘After holidaying there for years, getting engaged on Little Cove beach, baby moons and buying a beautiful place up there, our family is moving to live in Noosa in 2024,’ she began.

‘Our daughter Darcy has been accepted into an amazing swimming squad, and all the kids have been enrolled and accepted into school.
‘This is a fantastic opportunity for Darcy and one that will help her reach her goals in swimming. How could we not take this opportunity?’
She added she loved Mount Gambier too much to say goodbye to it forever and was going to travel there every month to help remotely manage her wellness business.
‘My passion and my commitment to return every five weeks is an easy choice as I could never stay away from her too long! Our new chapter awaits us in 2024!’
The fan favourites first fell in love on the show 15 years ago, having appeared on season two back in 2008.
The couple share three children, including daughters Darcy and Maggie, and a son, Roy.
