Canberra independent senator David Pocock's house is on the market.
Senator Pocock updated his Register of Senators' Interests in August with a new property purchase in an undisclosed location, noting he was selling his house in Turner.
Senator Pocock told The Canberra Times, " For various reasons, we decided to move, so we are selling and have moved elsewhere in Canberra."
He did not provide further comment.
The house was the site of Senator Pocock's campaign meetings ahead of his successful election to the Senate in May 2022.
It was in this property that his campaign team made plans to blast Zed Seselja out of the Federal Parliament.
The 2022 Pocock campaign cost close to $1.8 million, with Climate 200 funding about half of it.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the inner north hit the market two weeks ago.
The listing says it combines 1940s brick with contemporary elements. A large dining area is ideal for entertaining guests. A pitched roof and large windows allow ample light into the house, but gardens outside offer a level of privacy important for many with a public presence. Inside, timber floors and large bedrooms keep the house airy.
The Pococks bought the house in 2018 for $1.36 million, according to CoreLogic records.
It was listed for sale under a different agent in 2020 but did not sell after 151 days on the market.
The Canberra Times understands the property was rented out for a short time in 2020.
The couple's previous backyard gained media attention in 2015, when their chickens made it into the news.

They have been known to be keen vegetable gardeners and chicken keepers since.
The large block has scope for fruit trees, animals and vegetables in large, mulched garden beds.
The Canberra Times contacted the selling agent who did not provide comment.
Senator Pocock's wife, Emma, is shortly due to give birth.
She debuted a baby bump at this year's Midwinter Ball while in her second trimester.
The pair, who famously proclaimed in 2019 they would not have children due to the environmental impact, confirmed the pregnancy in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
"It feels good," Senator Pocock said at the time.
"It's not a sign that things are great, the climate's fine," Ms Pocock told the publication's political reporter Angus Thompson in July.
The Turner property, and the recently-purchased property in Canberra, are the only ones owned by the Pococks, according to the federal Register of Senators' Interests.
Senator Pocock sold a house in Whyalla, South Australia, in mid-2023, the register says.
The register also shows he lent money for the purchase of a property in Wavell Heights, Queensland.
"I'm not on the title but will be paid back if/when they sell," the register reads.
Money was also loaned to a friend for a house in Marmion, Western Australia.
