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?

  • CalculationLand 20,000 m² against a 160 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

NT

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

NT bulk cadastre is not an open commercial product. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 20,000 m² — that is not official geometry. 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $400/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 for this property. 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

    NT bulk cadastre is not an open commercial product. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 20,000 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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.

Read the full description

New vanities, shower, taps and toilets recently installed giving that modern fresh look. New top quality flooring, downlights in all rooms, fans throughout. The house has just been freshly painted.

The home has quality inverter air conditioning and fans in every room to keep everyone cool and escape the sweltering darwin humidity.

The open spacious kitchen has loads of bench and space for the budding chef, a large built in pantry, lots of cupboards, a near new stove and dishwasher.

The second dwelling is nestled amongst the established trees and is ideal for a teenage retreat/ guest house or just rent out for extra income. It's fully self contained with open plan living, ensuite, external laundry and a huge brand new deck with shade sails. Income potential of $250+ per week.

A seperate caravan site is set amongst the tropical palms and established trees hovering under giant twin shade sails, serviced by its own water, TV aerial and access to power. Ideal for when the family from down south come to visit.

A huge lockable powered shed with adjoining double carport is perfect for storing the boat and all the toys. Next to the shed is a ablution block with a newly installed toilet, hot water and power. Perfect for when your out in the yard, or for the caravaners to utilise.

The property is supported by a great bore pumping 4 litres per second. A newly installed quality Grundfos bore pump, electrical box and tank pressure pump to give you that peace of mind. Also a recently installed new automatic irrigation system waters all the gardens and yards leaving you more time to relax.

The buildings are cleverly located to one side of the property, and leaving you with approximately 2.5 acres vacant with beautifully landscaped grounds allowing for a possible potential subdividing in the future (STPA). With Howard Springs becoming very popular with it's easy commute to Palmerston and Darwin City, five acre blocks around the town centre are being subdivided and becoming rare.

The property is conveniently located within walking distance to Howard Springs township or a 5 min drive to Coolalinga. The Palmerston Hospital is 10 minutes away and Darwin City is 20 minutes.
