Tamworth's House that Drought Built is nearly ready to be auctioned off to help local farmers

Hundreds of different suppliers and trades people have donated months of time to the project, which is set to raise potentially hundreds of thousands for Tamworth farming families.

By the end of the week, their work will be pretty much done.

The charity home is the brainchild of Daniel and Natalie Urquhart from G.J. Gardiner Homes Tamworth.

Mr Urquhart said they had not yet decided a reserve price for the auction, which is set to take place on July 25.

But he was confident that the four-bedroom Lampada home would sell for a good price.

"This is going to be a real shot in the arm for the local farming families because it just shows that we haven't forgotten about them," he said.

"It's going to be a really amazing amount of money and the Salvation Army know where it's got to go."

Tamworth Mayor Col Murray said the generosity of corporate citizens like the Uruqharts was one of the things that set Tamworth apart from other regional cities.

"This house will be standing for 100 years into the future and it will always be the House that Drought Built," he said.

"It's something that's quite unique, there's only one of these."

But bidders may have competition.

Cr Murray lives in the area. Asked if he'd like to move in, he said he was impressed by the house and said he'd be happy to live there.

The job will likely require some finishing touches next week, but the bulk of the work should be done this week.

Construction started in February.
