What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

View not ready — official layers are still retrieving for this property. Official planning layers still retrieving. Flood / bushfire / heritage not yet retrieved. No recorded sale price for this property. Districts does not score a property it cannot yet see.

Why this property?

Nothing about this record stands out yet — coverage may still be filling in.

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

VIC

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $445/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

A RARE CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY

Read the full description

The unique 'Old Police Residence' is now for sale.

The property sits on a large block and dates back to 1865. Many original features, including multiple fireplaces, chimneys, and stables have been retained.

The residence was purchased by the present owner in the mid-90's. For many years it was a home of quirky individual flair, and myriad happy social gatherings. The owner relocated abroad several years ago, and since that time the property has been tenanted. Today the interior presents as a solid 'blank canvas' upon which you are now invited to make your mark.

Uniquely situated in the historic precinct of Chiltern town-ship, and with the charming 'Old Lock Up' standing adjacent, the property occupies a premium position, in excellent company. Historic neighbours include the 'The Old Masonic Lodge' (now operating as a popular boutique art café and coffee shop) and the original, still operating, town post office.

The home is a 3BR (or 2 BR and study) configuration with lounge, modern kitchen and meals area. The front of the property, comprising the lounge and bedrooms is the original part of the residence complete with brick exterior, high timber ceilings and timber floors. The rear of the property is a timber extension, built on a cement slab with in-floor heating, housing the kitchen, meals area, bathroom, laundry and toilet.

The home has five open fireplaces; one in each bedroom, one in the lounge and one in the meals area. Natural gas has been connected to the house, leaving the possibility for ducted gas heating to be added.

The kitchen was renovated several years ago with an abundance of cupboards, stainless steel gas cooktop, dishwasher and stone bench tops. The meals area opens up through double French-doors both eastwards to the bricked courtyard, and west to the outdoor garden area.

The home once featured a charming "olde world" garden, the bones of which remain sufficiently for it to be restored to its former glory.

All that's now missing are new owners ready to write the next chapter, living in and loving this historic home in charismatic Chiltern.

As this property is both rare to find on the market, and unique in outlook we are going to auction the home on Saturday November 10th at 12 noon.

Please contact the agent Jan on 0417 429 441 for further details.
