Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,126,000 (26 Sept 2020).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 39,600 m² against a 257 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded Rural Property sales in Mclaren Flat (last 5 years) with land size: median $37/m² of land (n=7). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned Rural (Ru) under the Planning and Design Code.(Location SA · 1 Sept 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 Rural (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 40,548 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 $621/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 Rural (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 40,548 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 40,548 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.

Lifestyle Opportunity with Amazing Views

Welcome to 1 Whitings Road McLaren Flat! Wow, what an amazing opportunity awaiting the lucky buyer of this incredible property.

The current owners have strategically positioned this near new (2018 build) home at the very rear of the property to afford the very best views available. No expense has been spared here to make this home comfortable and a lot of thought has gone in to the well laid out floorplan.

There are two living areas that are both of a large size but the main open plan living area in particular is huge with views of vines from multiple angles. In fact, there are views of vines and the countryside from every room in this beautiful property! The spacious kitchen and dining area complete this open area and there is plenty of room for a family gathering or a game of 8 Ball.

Read the full description

All four bedrooms are of a large size with the master bedroom in particular a very generous size complete with built in robes and an ensuite. Imagine waking up here every day and the first thing you see is the beautiful countryside of McLaren Flat!

And to ensure your year round comfort, there is reverse cycle air conditioning ducted into all of the aforementioned rooms, insulated internal and external walls and with ceiling fans in each bedroom you will always feel comfortable whatever season it is.

Stepping outside, the property is divided in to three paddocks which allows you the option of some farm pets as the current owners do. As if this isn't enough, there are two sheds, with the new one having 3 phase power, three sliding doors and a concrete slab. This shed has only recently been completed and adds a lot of value.

Lastly, let's not forget the well established three acres of Cabernet Sauvignon vines at the very front of the property. The current owner employs local workers for the spraying and harvesting and can pass on the details for yourself to make a passive income, or if that's your line of work you could work it yourself to make your own wine.

Properties in this area of this size are very much sought after and I'm not surprised at all. The versatility of this property would make for either a family growing up, a retired farmer looking to downsize, or for the entrepreneurs out there - I couldn't think of a better location to set up a Cellar Door (STCC) as there are numerous cellar doors in the near vicinity, and with the views and infrastructure already in place this one would certainly stand out!

THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY

- Zoned, ducted R/C A/C in all rooms

- 3 Phase power
