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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $862,000 (18 June 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 25,050 m² against a 1,431 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.
  • FactZoned 13.0 Rural Living (13) under the Kingborough Interim Planning Scheme 2015.(theLIST · 30 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

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned 13.0 Rural Living (Kingborough Interim Planning Scheme 2015). Official parcel area about 25,104 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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 $570/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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned 13.0 Rural Living (Kingborough Interim Planning Scheme 2015). Official parcel area about 25,104 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 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. 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 25,104 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.

Garden Oasis

Previously a popular stop on the open garden trail, this picturesque property is currently nurtured and loved by a retired nursery owner. Hence, as soon as you start down the well-maintained driveway you will appreciate the abundance of colour, the variety of the plantings and the thoughtful artistry that has gone into creating this wonderful, now easy-care, very special place to be.

Set on approximately 6 acres of mostly level land, with the only steep section leading down to a winter creek, which is one of the tributaries of the Margate Rivulet. Amidst a bush and rural landscape, yet only minutes from shops, schools and services, this lovely home and surrounding gardens provide a peaceful escape from the day to day. Internally the home is light and bright. High ceilings, skylights and a neutral palette create a feeling of contemporary living and slate floors, the use of timber, and garden views through expansive windows and sliding doors, enhance the calm and relaxed atmosphere. Originally 3 bedrooms, this spacious 154m2 home now has very generous proportions throughout its easily accessed single level living. Both bedrooms are at opposite ends of the home providing privacy for the occupants and the master offers an ensuite and walk in robe.

Outside there is an abundance of water with a large rainwater tank, a bore and two very full dams. A fenced veggie garden keeps the produce safe and 75% of the land has wallaby proof fencing to conserve the beauty within.

Only minutes from the waterside township of Margate which provides shops, primary schools, services, public transport, the Dru Point Bicentennial Park and a boat ramp so you can explore this stunning region by water.
