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.

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.
The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 30 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 626 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $766/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.

Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.
Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.
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 SOLD Real EstateLess than 500 metres from the surf at Frenchman's Beach, tucked inside one of Caves Beach's most tightly held beachfront reserve estates, this is the kind of home that changes the way you live.
Mornings start with a flat stroll to the sand, afternoons roll into long lunches at Caves Bar & Bungalows or The Mawson, and evenings finish with the kids scooting for gelato while you walk home under a coastal sky.
But beyond the location, this is a home designed for real life…big families, blended families, grandparents, holiday gatherings, working from home, and everyone having their own space without ever feeling disconnected.
Upstairs is your private family retreat. Downstairs is your flexibility. And outside is your own resort-style entertaining zone complete with spa.
This is not just a beach house.
It's a lifestyle headquarters.
From the moment you step inside, the home opens into a generous, light-filled layout where living, dining and kitchen connect seamlessly to the north-facing alfresco and private spa retreat. The Caesarstone waterfall island anchors the space, creating a true entertainer's kitchen with walk-in pantry, quality appliances and effortless flow to outdoor dining beneath the louvered roof.
Upstairs, a second family room flows to a front balcony capturing soft ocean glimpses and sea breezes. The oversized master suite is positioned for privacy, complete with walk-in robe and renovated ensuite. Three additional bedrooms upstairs are all generous in size, each easily accommodating queen beds, all finished with plantation shutters, ducted air and ceiling fans.
But it's the ground floor that makes this home truly special.
For retirees or older parents wanting separation without stairs, the ground floor offers genuine single-level living potential.
A full-sized bedroom option sits alongside a modern bathroom with shower, not just a powder room, making it ideal for:
• Independent grandparents living with family
• Downsizers wanting bedroom + bathroom on one level
• Long-term guests
• Teen retreat
• Private Airbnb-style accommodation
• Holiday visitors
Add to that a separate enclosed study and additional living flexibility, and you have a layout that adapts as life changes. This is rare in the estate and incredibly valuable.
With multiple living zones across two levels, this home handles the chaos of real family life with ease.
Kids upstairs.
Parents downstairs entertaining.
Grandparents on the ground level.
Guests for the weekend.
Everyone has their own space, yet the heart of the home still brings everyone together.
And for those chasing the ultimate coastal holiday home? This layout is perfect for families and friends holidaying together without living on top of each other.

• Consistent quality flooring and finishes across both levels delivering a cohesive modern aesthetic
• Designed to comfortably accommodate growing, blended or extended families with multiple living zones
• Equally suited as a premium beachside holiday home where multiple families can gather and enjoy the coast
If you're a growing family needing space that actually works, this is it.
If you're blending families and need separate living zones, this layout makes sense.
If you're retirees wanting a ground floor bedroom and bathroom while still having room for visiting children and grandchildren, this solves it.
If you're Sydney buyers chasing a premium coastal holiday home where multiple families can stay comfortably, this is the blueprint.
And if you simply want to live where you can walk to surf, cafés, dinner and drinks without ever needing the car, this estate delivers that dream daily.
Homes in this beachfront reserve pocket rarely combine this much internal space with this level of flexibility.
Walk to the beach.
Walk to dinner.
Entertain at home.
Host the whole family.
Opportunities like this in Caves Beach are tightly held for a reason.
If you're ready to secure your place in one of the coast's most desirable estates, this is the one that lets you do it properly.
