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
NSWPlanning 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.” 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 $549/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.
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
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 Ulladulla"Danesbank" is one of Milton's landmark heritage residences located upon 70 acres of beautiful South Coast dairy farming land.
"Danesbank", hand crafted from local stone by the era's Master Builder James Poole in consultation with the original owner John Valentine Wareham, is an early stone farmhouse of considerable character and charm. It remains virtually intact, having been lovingly restored by its current owners, and remains one of the best mid-Victorian cottages in the region. Set on an undulating hill with commanding views of the surrounding countryside, "Danesbank" is an essential component of Milton's pastoral landscapes.
The house's blackbutt and Australian cedar floors were cut from the property and pit sawn, while the upstairs floors were crafted from now scarce NZ kauri, backfilled ballast on the NZ to Ulladulla shipping trade route. The property's historic foundations were sourced amongst the green spacious countryside.
Enveloped amongst a blooming homely garden shaded by the grace of a 100-year-old oak tree, this warm and charming cottage has been refined with sympathetic vintage materials appreciating the age and character of the original building.
It is hard not to find delight in the private and natural beauty of "Danesbank", yet she is only 7kms from the Historic Milton Village, and a further few minutes to the picturesque beaches of Narrawallee and Mollymook.
"Danesbank" boasts a highly successful self-managed short-term Airbnb rental business, providing a significant financial return to its owners and instant relaxation and respite to its many previous guests.
"Danesbank" basks upon prime dairy farming land enriched by its proud historic heritage.
- Commissioned by Milton Clerk of Petty Sessions John Valentine Wareham, completed in 1865, crafted from hand-cut local stone and timbers
- "Danesbank" is very much part of the local history. The stone used to build the cottage can also be seen in many historic building structures in the area including the break walls in Ulladulla Harbour, and other original historic houses such as "Applegarth" and "Mount Airlie". The history of the Milton and Ulladulla community lies within the walls of "Danesbank".
- One of "Danesbank's" more colourful past owners was esteemed Sydney interior designer George Freedman. "Danesbank" had been a creative retreat for George and his family since 1971. Remarkable improvements (including the Glenn Murchutt inspired kitchen) were made to the property by the designer that play an important part in the home's rich and vibrant history, many of which are still visible and integral today.
- Opposite the cottage sits the old dairy which was once the active heart of the property. "Danesbank" dairy farm ceased operations in the early 1900's, but the structure and bails are still intact.
"Danesbank" is located at 121 Evans Lane, Milton perched on a hilltop vista overlooking thousands of acres of the esteemed dairy farming land. Only 7kms from Historic Milton full of fabulous galleries, retail shops and eateries. Only three hours drive from Sydney (with materially improved infrastructure opening in 2022) a true gem hidden in the idyllic South Coast of NSW.
Properties of such beauty and calibre as "Danesbank", available for only the second time in 50 years, are a rare opportunity to secure so register your interest by contacting Lisa Cox on 0438 823 785.
An old-world Australian icon nestled in the blissful NSW countryside.
