Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWPlanning 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $643/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by P. Smith & SonThis is your opportunity to secure the very few true riverside properties in Murwillumbah.
If only the walls could talk, as this iconic Murwillumbah landmark building would have a few tales to tell from the 120 years of her existence. Originally the home of the Skinner & Lowe ferries Captain Frank Lowe, where he could keep a watchful eye on the weather with the sweeping, direct views of our magnificent Tweed River right from the rear of the home.
For the last 40 years, this distinctive property has offered a place of rest to many a weary traveler and is best known as the quirky Murwillumbah Guesthouse or YHA, which has successfully operated since 1980.
Currently split into two separate living quarters, with the Guest House offering five double bedrooms, plus two single bedrooms and three separate bathrooms. A large separate kitchen with ample cooking facilities and prep area leads through to the communal dining/living room.
The access to the downstairs area of the Managers Quarters is through the office while delivering one-bedroom / sleepout, own kitchen, and living room with own bathroom & WC. A communal laundry is also shared on this level. Up the spiral staircase, the huge Master bedroom offers a private sanctuary away from Guests.
Beautifully positioned on an approx. 1313 M2 river bend block, the low maintenance grounds surrounding this rambling old residence also offers a secure, detached garage along with an enormous covered entertaining area with a concrete staircase directly down to the river.
While this is a unique riverfront property, the TSC flood maps indicate that it is set high & dry and is well above flood level.
Enjoy the cooling river breezes after you have enjoyed an easy 500 meter walk to the thriving Murwillumbah CBD with its eclectic array of cafes/restaurants/galleries/entertainment venues.
Great to continue "as is" or convert to a luxury B & B and capitalise on the fact that it is only 800 meters to the start of the Tweed Valley Rail Trail which has commenced construction and is due to be finished in December 2022, or upgrade this truly unique property into the grandest house on the Tweed.
