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
VICPlanning 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $325/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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 Coast to Country Real EstateRarely do dual occupancy properties like this come to market, especially with such rich history. The property combines an original three-bedroom home built circa 1890 as the Headmaster's Residence with an attached, modern, fully self-contained two-bedroom unit at the rear. This would be the perfect property for a large family or a family looking to provide independent living to elderly grandparents, whilst remaining close by for care and support. Alternatively, the unit would suit a family with teenagers that want their own space, or it could even be rented out for some extra income!
The original home sits on predominantly concrete stumps with mostly original hardwood flooring under carpet or tile and with high ceilings. The traditional long hallway has three generous sized bedrooms running off it. The huge master bedroom at the front of the home has beautiful white wooden venetian blinds with views out over the magnificent front garden, split system air conditioning, large ensuite with oversize shower and a walk-in robe. The second bedroom located at the front of the house is carpeted with a built-in robe, matching white wooden venetian blinds, a ceiling fan for comfort and views out over the front garden. The third bedroom, currently being utilised as a home office, is also carpeted.
At the end of the hallway is the family bathroom where you can take a break and relax in the spa bath. Moving to the rear of the home is the large lounge room complete with a slow combustion wood heater and a recently installed split system air conditioner to keep the living area at an ideal temperature throughout the year. The lounge is also carpeted and has beautiful, white wooden venetian blinds.
There are two exits from the living room, one to the kitchen and second to the large dining room. The kitchen is bright and light filled with plenty of room for the master chef in the family to whip up a feast. Tiled throughout, the kitchen has an abundance of cupboard space, a ceiling fan, dishwasher, near new electric stove and oven and is separated from the dining room by a breakfast bar. The skylit dining room, like the rest of the property, is also huge. Also tiled throughout, it has a row of windows overlooking a bright sunroom. The spacious laundry stems from the dining room and is complete with a fourth toilet. The sunroom spans across the rear of the main home into the air-conditioned rumpus room on the western side of the home…a room to really make your own. Possibilities include a man cave, she-shed, craft room, extra bedroom, second lounge…the possibilities are endless.
Venture up the stairs and enter the large, attached, fully self-contained unit. A combined lounge and dining form the centerpiece of the unit, with a delightful and bright kitchen complete with a dishwasher, plenty of cupboard space and a full stove/oven. There are two bedrooms in the unit, both carpeted and with built in robes. The combined bathroom and laundry is equipped with an easy walk-in shower with non-slip, hospital style flooring. The unit has its own second entry onto the veranda and down to the rear lawn via a wheelchair/walker friendly ramp. A split system, reverse cycle air conditioner keeps the temperature comfortable throughout the seasons.
The front of the home has a lovely veranda with new decking to enjoy the fresh air, smell the roses and just sit and watch the world go by. The established gardens are bright and colourful with a wide variety of garden beds, roses, and manicured lawns. The yard is just huge with a total block size of 1369 m2 providing plenty of room for pets or the children or grandchildren to run around and explore. There's plenty of room to plant some more fruit trees and grow your own vegetables. A carport at the rear and a shed provide additional undercover parking and storage.
The cost of electricity will also be offset by thirty-two grid connected solar panels on the roof whilst there is also a near new heat pump, hot water system. The roof was also repainted around four years ago whilst around the same time, the outside of the home was updated with insulated vinyl form plex style cladding. This cladding has a fifty-year warranty and there is even sufficient spare cladding to clad the shed.
This property is in a perfect location. A very short stroll will take you to the Orbost CBD whilst that largest supermarket in town, Food works, is just up the road. Orbost is a friendly, welcoming community. There is a P-12 Community College, Regional Hospital and Medical Centre, two supermarkets, banks, cafes, and eateries as well as an aged care home and village, and a hotel. Orbost is located just up the river from the seaside town of Marlo, renowned for its fishing and boating. It's around a forty-five-minute drive to the Gippsland Lakes at Lakes Entrance and around an hour to the major rural hub of Bairnsdale. East Gippsland has a lot to offer both its residents and tourists alike with natural bushland and unspoiled rivers and beaches.
