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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,411,000 (7 Aug 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 2,822 m² against a 199 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Eden Hills (last 5 years) with land size: median $827/m² of land (n=62). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned Hills Neighbourhood (HN) under the Planning and Design Code.(Location SA · 31 Aug 2026)

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. 1No 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

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Hills Neighbourhood · HN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 2,828 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $487/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownlow

    Zoned Hills Neighbourhood · HN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 2,828 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 2,828 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    No DA adapter returned applications 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.

Architectural sanctuary in Eden Hills

Tucked away in a peaceful, bird-filled valley yet just minutes from local conveniences, this architect-designed residence in Eden Hills offers a rare blend of tranquillity, privacy, and 1970s design flair. Set on a generous 2,822sqm (approx.) bushland allotment with distant sea views, the home is both a secluded retreat and a practical, welcoming space for modern family life.

Designed and built in 1972 by the current owner - an architect, the home spans three levels and is a striking example of the era's architectural language. It features varied clinker bricks, exposed beams, solid strawboard and timber detailing, and rare thatched ceilings, which are seldom seen today. The design celebrates light and space, with expansive glass panels and floor-to-ceiling windows in the living, dining, and lounge areas creating a seamless connection to the surrounding bushland. Natural light fills the interiors, and the use of organic materials infuses warmth and a sense of calm throughout.

Upstairs, three bedrooms offer serene treetop outlooks, with the main suite also capturing glimpses of the sea. These rooms are connected via an external balcony, ideal for enjoying the sunset or simply soaking in the peace and stillness of the setting. The home's thoughtful placement on a sloping block ensures there are no windows facing the street, preserving a sense of total privacy. Upon arrival, visitors are met with a dramatic reveal as the grand double doors open to showcase the home's unique architectural character.

Read the full description

A separate structure on the property accommodates a double carport, a versatile rumpus room, and an additional flexible space, perfectly suited as a home office, creative studio, or yoga retreat. Outdoor living is just as refined, with two decks designed for both private relaxation and alfresco entertaining. A gas-heated spa is privately tucked away in a garden nook, offering a peaceful escape nestled among the native plantings. The re-landscaped creek enhances the sense of serenity, winding through beautifully maintained gardens that have been cultivated with a strong focus on sustainability and the local environment.

Fire safety has been thoughtfully addressed, with rooftop sprinklers, a fire pump, two rainwater tanks, and hose fittings that allow for drawing water from the spa if required. The property has been carefully nurtured to encourage native wildlife, including visits from koalas, and reflects a deep respect for the natural surroundings.

The home's location combines tranquillity with convenience. Public transport, local schools, and essential amenities are all within easy walking distance. Adelaide's CBD is just a 25-minute drive, while Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre are less than 10 minutes away by car.

This is more than a home - it is a sanctuary that unites timeless architectural vision with modern-day functionality, offering a lifestyle that is at once peaceful, connected, and deeply harmonious with nature.
