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

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Hills Neighbourhood · HN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,372 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $693/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. 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.

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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownlow

    Zoned Hills Neighbourhood · HN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,372 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 1,372 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    No DA adapter returned applications 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 Harris Real Estate Glenelg

See Adelaide like few can…from an upscaled 1970s architectural home like no other.

The 1970s spawned a design movement unique to the Adelaide Hills, making this elevated Brian Snowden-designed abode something special before you even lay eyes on what might just be one of the best city views any home in South Australia has to offer.

Etched into the serene laps of Brown Hill Creek and Belair National Park, the way this 'Marshall clinker brick home frames the cityscape through the forked branches of an old gum is something to savour, setting the scene for a home that carves out a unique outlook at every turn across its two levels.

Recent renovations marked the next chapter of the home's curious evolution; modernising the look, increasing the comfort levels and widening that view in the process - all, somehow, without weakening a single iota of its mid-century modernist inspirations.

Read the full description

A low-pitched roofline, earthy exposed brickwork, a footbridge and the oversized original timber entry door make first impressions as beautiful as the open-plan family room that defines the upper floor and steps out to a far-reaching terrace.

Raked shadow-line ceilings, engineered timber floors, an exposed concrete entry porch/foyer and prolific use of glass create a clean, neutral aesthetic so your art, those famous Adelaide sunsets and the city's flickering lights can shine.

The stone-draped kitchen shines too; a functional work of art at the heart of a home that serves guest accomodation on the lower floor and effortlessly opens and closes two wings above; one reserved for the ensuited main bedroom, the other serving the kids their own retreat.

When you can watch Adelaide awaken and wind down, cows grazing on the hillside or a storm roll over the ocean from the comfort of your own bed, you really do have the best of all worlds. This really is something else.
