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
ACTPlanning 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $462/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. 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.
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
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 LJ Hooker ManukaA labour of love created without compromise, this remarkable Bass Gardens residence represents the meeting of two architectural minds across eras, resulting in one of Canberra's most distinctive and refined homes.
Perfectly positioned in one of Griffith's most desirable addresses, this residence enjoys an exclusive elevated location with panoramic views towards Mount Ainslie and Majura. The surrounding gardens are private and low-maintenance, with a resort-style pool and spa complementing the home's effortless indoor-outdoor connection.
Designed in 1939 by renowned architect Malcolm Moir, this home is a distinctive example of design from that era. A large pavilion extension and complete renovation of the original house by award-winning architect Philip Leeson in 2008 beautifully blend its heritage charm with modern luxury.
Inside, every element speaks of meticulous craftsmanship. Light-filled and north-facing, the main living space opens through bifold doors to a covered alfresco terrace complete with rain-sensing Vergola and BBQ gas point. Inside, elegant formal and casual living areas offer versatility and warmth, while original architectural features including open fireplace, custom door furniture and light fittings, celebrate the home's modernist heritage.
At the heart of the residence lies a professionally designed kitchen by Melbourne interior designer, Prue Gordon. Generous in scale and beautifully executed, it features a large central island bench, industrial-style benchtops, Miele and Bosch appliances, Qasair range hood, Jennair fridge/freezer, Blum hardware and abundant storage throughout. A walk-in pantry, glasses cabinet, overhead cupboards and soft-close drawers complete this superbly functional and stylish space.
Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned, with the main suite offering a luxurious private retreat designed for both comfort and sophistication. Bathed in natural light through its architecturally distinctive corner windows, the main bedroom features an expansive walk-in dressing room and a stunning ensuite complete with glass tile flooring, underfloor heating, bathtub and separate shower, a true statement in modern luxury.
The lower level caters perfectly to family living, featuring two bathrooms and three generous bedrooms with built-in robes, complemented by a central area with direct pool access. Two of the bedrooms enjoy serene pool views, while the third is positioned privately - ideal as a guest room or teenager's retreat. This level also includes a well-appointed laundry with ample storage and convenient external access, ensuring both practicality and style.
Every detail has been considered for comfort and efficiency, including underfloor hydronic heating, split-system reverse-cycle air conditioning, an 8-kW solar system with battery storage and a back-to-base alarm system. Additional features include a double garage, workshop and under-house storage, completing a home of exceptional substance and design.
Located within walking distance to Manuka Village, parks and leading schools, this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Canberra's architectural legacy - a home of substance, history and enduring design.
