A first-time buyer settling into his new house was shocked to learn the property came with a secret pool - but it had been buried right underneath his front yard. Sam Letchford moved into the home in Marcoola in Queensland's Sunshine Coast in March and was doing some landscaping in his yard last weekend when he suddenly found the edges of an underground pool. The 25-year-old had noticed concrete patches in the grass which led to a pathway towards the pool, despite his real estate agent never mentioning the hidden feature. He eventually called in a team of tradies with a bulldozer revealing the complete shell of the pool underneath. But Mr Letchford says he has no plans to throw a pool party anytime soon and will instead try to remove the chunks of concrete and restore his lawn.
