  • FactLand 1,001 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Daylesford (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,005/m² of land (n=109). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No 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

VIC

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

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

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $509/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. 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.

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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

Listing material

Listed by Belle Property Daylesford

A Period home set in a garden of blossoms and fruit trees!

The original period home from approx. 1860 is full of period features and endless possibilities. Set on approx. 1001sqm the garden is exactly what you would expect on a property of this era with blossoms, ornamentals and fruit trees, silver birch, dogwoods, camellia hedging, clematis climbers, spring blooms of daffodils and snow drops.

Step up to the front door under the classic bull nose vernandah and into a long entrance hall giving way to the main living room with open fire-place for those cosy nights and a reverse cycle split system for some extra heat or a little cooling on those balmy summer evenings. The hallway also gives way to two bedrooms, one with working fire place and the other with sweet French doors to the kitchen/meals area. These zones have woollen carpets, new in 2021 after the old part of the cottage was restumped.

The kitchen and meals area has a wonderful wood fire place in keeping with cottage life but don't worry about the warmth as the house has gas hydronic heating throughout. The galley style kitchen has a 75cm oven and 60 cm gas cook top, double sink and D/W. The meals area for 4-6 is quaint in front of the fire and there is a storage room off this space for extra kitchen provisions. The bathroom is a good size with linen press, shower over the bath, toilet and pedestal vanity. A walk-in robe and combined study lead into another bedroom, currently used as the main bedroom. Wall and ceiling panelling abounds through the property. A separate laundry with shelving and a large sink are at the back entrance of the house with a patio area covered with laser light.

Read the full description

The light in the back garden in the afternoon is magical and there is plenty of room to sit or create a large entertaining area. The back garden is also home to a two level studio space converted in approx. 1992 to include a bedroom with double BIRs, bathroom with shower and toilet, serviceable kitchenette all with its own hydronic heating and an upstairs sitting room with wonderful views. You will find a carport, a concrete slab shed-big enough to be a garage, 5 small water tanks for the garden, a wood shed and potting shed.

You can stroll to Cliffys café or Beppes restaurant, buy flowers from Wombat Flowers and garden plantings from Wombat Forest or wander down the road to the town centre for everything Daylesford. Close to the schools and hospital this property is perfect as a full-time residence with guest/ family/teenager accommodation to the rear. Well-loved but time for a new beginning!
