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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 2,668 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $652/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 for this property. 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 Elders Real Estate AlbanyPerched high above Oyster Harbour in the tightly held Kalgan Heights pocket of Lower King, this is a property that offers far more than just a home, it's a setting, a story, and a perspective that is increasingly hard to find.
Set on an expansive 2,668sqm parcel, the home captures sweeping harbour views from its elevated position, with a natural bush backdrop creating a sense of privacy and connection to the landscape that defines this part of the coast. A pathway from the rear of the property leads you down toward the water's edge, reinforcing the lifestyle on offer here. Quiet, immersive and undeniably special.
Originally built in 1988, the residence itself offers a flexible and functional layout, comprising three bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living zones. The main living area opens out to the balcony, where the outlook becomes the focal point. Ever-changing light across the harbour, birdlife in constant motion, and a setting that invites you to slow down and take it all in.
Beneath the home, a substantial games room provides additional space for entertaining, hobbies or a separate retreat, while practical infrastructure includes a carport at the upper level, a single garage under the home and a separate drive-through shed to the rear.
What truly sets this property apart, however, is its story.
Once the cherished holiday retreat of renowned Australian naturalist, photographer and author Michael Morcombe AM, the home reflects a life deeply connected to the natural world. Best known for The Field Guide to Australian Birds, Morcombe's work has shaped the way generations of Australians experience and understand native birdlife. It was here, overlooking Oyster Harbour, that he found a place to pause, observe and reconnect.
On his first visit to the property, a pair of ospreys soared across the horizon before returning to their nearby nest, a moment that confirmed he had found something extraordinary. To this day, they continue to return each season, a quiet reminder of the environment that makes this location so unique.
Now, following the passing of Michael and Irene in 2025, this much-loved retreat is ready to begin its next chapter.
For those seeking more than just a home and for those drawn to space, outlook, and a genuine connection to the natural surroundings, this is an opportunity that rarely presents itself.
