Given the $1,350,000–$1,450,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,350,000–$1,450,000(Listing record · 17 June 2025)
  • FactLand 119,342 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

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?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

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.

0 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

OFF-GRID "HEAVEN LEA" CASTLE ON NATURE'S DOORSTEP

Completely out of the box, this extraordinary and fully off-grid property is positioned on a beautiful parcel of land measuring approximately 29 acres, bordered on three sides by Pilchers Nature Bridge Reserve where birdlife and wildlife abound. Combining the Australian bush with the benefits of Mediterranean produce offered by olive trees and grape vines, the property also boasts stunning views back over the Sedgwick Valley.

Through the automatic gates, olive trees flank the driveway, to the left of which you will find Monets Pond filled with water lilies; turn right and walk through the olive grove past yellow paper daisies to a rise where the views over to Mt Alexander and the Sedgwick valley will take your breath away.

Sitting proud is the Castle constructed from double Hebel bricks maintaining year-round comfort and features four full length peaked turrets connected by crenellations with saw-tooth merlon indentations typical of medieval castles of old.

Read the full description

A fortified entrance to the residence opens to the great room with soaring 22 ft ceilings and reclaimed brick flooring laid in herringbone style. A central timber staircase leads to two mezzanine zones - a home office zone and a reading zone, 2-bedrooms and a powder room. Downstairs are the family bathroom, laundry, and kitchen.

The Keep connects to the Castle by a breezeway, which also serves as the outdoor entertainment space, and houses a living room, 4-bedrooms, bathroom, kitchenette and mudroom. Overall, the two buildings provide up to 6-bedrooms, multiple living, bathroom and kitchen options.

PLUS there is a fully self-contained, off-grid and eco conscious 1-bedroom BnB with 3kw solar system and compost toilet, located beside the picturesque kidney-shaped dam.

The current owners have dabbled in wine making and the olive grove offers the promise of your own olive oil stores. Overall, the property offers enormous possibilities for anyone wishing to live off-grid, sustainably and alongside nature, where you can invoke your artistic side and consider passive income through BnB options as well.

Offering the potential to create the right environment for creativity and self-sustainability in a peaceful setting with stunning views over the Sedgwick valley, the property contrasts neighbouring traditional domestic architecture and characterised by the quintessential medieval aesthetic, allowing you to disconnect from traditional living, connect with natures elements and enjoy a sustainable existence.
