Given the $262,026 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $262,026(Listing record · 27 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 598 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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

QLD

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning 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.

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

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.

0 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

    Unknown

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

    Unknown

    No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

  • 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.

A Rare Opportunity to Restore & Reimagine

There are properties you simply move into, and then there are properties that give you the opportunity to create something truly your own.

Positioned on a 598m² block in the tightly held coastal community of Machans Beach, 101 Machan Street is a home rich in original character, charm and opportunity. Cherished for many years, this substantial residence is ready for its next chapter, offering the right buyer the opportunity to restore, refresh and reimagine a home with plenty of history and personality.

The home is thoughtfully separated across slightly elevated living zones, with just a few steps connecting the different areas. The lower section features two bedrooms and a separate living area that can be closed off, while the upper section includes three further bedrooms, the main bathroom, kitchen and another spacious living zone. The kitchen also features a walk-in pantry area, adding valuable storage to the home.

Read the full description

Original features are found throughout, including beautiful arched glass windows, high ceilings and an original brick fireplace that forms the centrepiece of the upper living area. Adding even more character, the original brick fireplace is complemented by an original pizza oven located through to the other side in the kitchen - two distinctive features that speak to the home's original charm and character. The home also features a combination of tiled, slate and epoxy flooring throughout.

Originally built in approximately the 1980s, the home is of solid block construction, with electrical and plumbing services currently functional throughout the upper section of the home. A newer split-system air conditioner has been installed in the upper living area, while a large internal tiled laundry and separate additional toilet provide further practicality.

Outside, the established grounds offer plenty of scope for landscaping and transformation, with bore water connected to irrigation throughout the property. The existing pool provides further potential to reimagine the outdoor space.

For builders, renovators and buyers searching for a genuine project, 101 Machan Street is a rare chance to secure a substantial home in a sought-after coastal community. With the beach just minutes away and approximately 15 minutes to Cairns CBD, it's an opportunity to take a home rich in original character and shape it into something entirely your own.

Council Rates are approx. $1574.53 per half yearly.
