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
SAPlanning 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $315/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. 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.
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 Ray White Mt GambierRay White Mt Gambier is pleased to present 12 Benton Street, Millicent, for sale. Local man Boyce Lane built the property in 1946 by hand after becoming a home-grown legend when he was just a teenager. At 16, Boyce unwittingly discovered the incredible Tantanoola caves as he searched for his beloved, yet mischievous, pet ferret. Boyce later constructed this solid three-bedroom home in nearby Millicent. He included a fantastic shed where he worked on his carpentry. The original outbuildings also feature the iconic Aussie toilet - although the house has been updated to include a more modern bathroom space.
The home is conveniently located, sitting central to Millicent's conveniences, including the local library, Woolworths, The Shearers Cook Café, Andy's Bakery, with dining options and the town centre also close by. The property was extended in approximately 2012 to include a lovely rear-facing bedroom or second living room that opens onto a stunning pergola via double doors. This added space allows the garden to be fully enjoyed all year.
The stunning cottage is accessed from a beautiful residential street through a gorgeous picket fence with a driveway entrance to the left that leads through to a secure single-car garage with a roller door and a rear door accessing the garden. The front of the home features French windows with Victorian-inspired cornice work and awnings over a heritage portico that opens into the entry hall.
Bedrooms one and two sit opposite sides of the entry, overlooking the beautifully landscaped front garden. One is carpeted for comfort and the second features original wooden flooring, tastefully decorated with high ceilings and large windows, creating spacious and comfortable rooms.
The family bathroom sits behind bedroom one for convenient access from the bedrooms, kitchen and family room. It features black and white vintage tessellated flooring. It has been tastefully updated with a separate shower and bath and a basin with a large mirror, towel rails and storage. The toilet is separate for privacy, and there is a linen press outside the bathroom for convenient storage.
A stunning country family room sits centrally, overlooking the right side of the house. Its standout feature is a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace with a striking Limestone surround and a brick and timber mantle shelf to complete the look. The room features original floorboards, pendant lighting and a large window offering lots of natural light.
An impressive cottage kitchen sits opposite. This beautiful, character-packed kitchen has been renovated with gorgeous white country timber cabinets, Tasmanian Oak benchtops, black and white checkerboard flooring, and intricate pressed-tin splashback surrounds for an elegant touch.
Stylish and quality new appliances include a Fisher and Paykel dishwasher drawer that sits under a garden-facing single sink and a stainless-steel oven with an electric cooktop and a range that is cleverly built into the original larder space. The stylish kitchen boasts lots of room for informal dining and leads to a teenagers retreat and / or parents retreat space via double doors. The two adjoining rooms have been created to allow for double doors to be added if desired.
This versatile room features solid Spotted Gum floorboards that carry through to another double room, directly accessing the patio via solid timber-framed glass double doors. Currently utilised as a lounge it offers stunning views of the garden and has reverse cycle air conditioning. The patio space is perfect for sampling some of the Limestone Coast's fabulous food and the Coonawarra's award-winning wine - with timber decking, a pitched roof and Victorian awnings creating a romantic ambience.
An attractive mudroom with polished concrete floors is also accessed from the kitchen. It offers a rear door to the garden for convenience and leads through to the laundry, where multiple linen press cabinets and closet areas provide abundant storage. It features original heritage tiles, offers a wash basin and bench, and overlooks the garden.
Outside, the beauty of this property expands to reveal a beautiful vegetable plot with bespoke garden beds and a chicken coop for your feathered friends. A grassed area lined with fruit trees and vines surrounds the original outbuildings. The shed/workshop is a great project, featuring corrugated iron and timber, creating a uniquely 1940s aesthetic that blends beautifully with this alluring garden.
This uniquely charming home has been restored and improved over the years with only two owners. The solid construction and intriguing history remain a real selling point. Don't miss your opportunity.
