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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $916,500 (8 Nov 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 782 m² against a 160 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Willunga (last 5 years) with land size: median $980/m² of land (n=82). 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 1,908 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 $449/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 1,908 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 1,908 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.

Boasting all the character and charm that you would expect from a cicra 1925 return verandah bungalow, this extremely well maintained property is perfectly positioned at the top of the main street in the beautiful and historic Willunga township. Situated directly opposite the original Courthouse, Police Station and Stables, this slightly elevated home offers a unique blend of history and stunning views.

The white picket fence, locally sourced Willunga slate paths, solid red brick construction and rendered pillars provide a strong first impression when you arrive at the property.

Read the full description

As you enter the home you are greeted by an array of character features that truly make this home special. A central hallway with polished timber floor boards, lofty raised ceilings with ornate cornicing and elegant ceiling roses and picture rails line most of the rooms.

At the front of the home is a formal lounge room with large picture windows and a refrigerated r/c air conditioning unit. The formal dining area also boasts large windows that allow for plenty of light to fill the room, whilst at the same time frame a fabulous view of the Courthouse across the road.

The spacious and well appointed Blackwood timber kitchen comes with dual stainless steel ovens, a dishwasher, gas cook top with range hood and plenty of cupboard space. There is enough room for a casual meals area within this section of the home. Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk in cupboard which allows for ample additional storage.

There are two generous bedrooms located off the entrance hall. The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the home and features a large built-in robe and an ornamental fireplace that adds to the character of the room. The second bedroom is located further down the hall, and also has a built-in robe and its own ornamental fireplace.

The large conventional bathroom is very neat and has a double vanity. At the end of the hallway is a lovely sunroom that offers direct access out to the side verandah to soak in the outlook. Adjacent to the sunroom is a separate laundry room which leads to an additional second toilet.

The staircase located in the formal lounge and dining room leads to a third bedroom located on the upper level. This versatile space could be used as an ideal home office or study if needed. Two storage areas within the room could be used for robes or additional storage, and there are views that stretch all the way to the ocean from this room.

The 782m2 allotment has established gardens with low maintenance, easy care appeal. The property has plenty of off street parking available and room for shedding if required (STCC).

This property boasts unique character, undeniable charm, and an enviable location, creating an exceptional opportunity that is sure to appeal to a diverse range of buyers. It's a combination that shouldn't be overlooked.

All this and more, make this an idyllic location to live and provides a fabulous lifestyle opportunity.
