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

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Township (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,008 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 $608/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 Township (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,008 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 1,008 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 Adcock Real Estate

Set your standards high in treetop class…

If you think the breathtaking top-of-town views steal the show, they do - as the cherry on top of an immaculate three-bedroom home boasting a high-clearance triple-car garage, solar power, and all-weather entertaining in a prized cul-de-sac.

As you rise in step with the expansive retaining walls and shrubbed garden colour on a low care 1013sqm allotment, the 2004-built home presents a timelessness that's typically Lobethal.

For the tradie, retiree, or those who prioritise lifestyle over upkeep, your days will be driven by alfresco ease and paved practicality dwarfed by the boat, van and convoy capacity of that monumental powered rear garage.

Read the full description

Inside, the home's light, inviting and freshly painted interiors meet tiled and timber-look floors; the leading lounge - gifted with those treetop views and slow combustion fire comfort - joins the casual meals and traditional timber kitchen for a seamless alfresco transition.

The inbuilt study takes its joinery cues from the kitchen - a cook's zone bathed in bay window light and pairing its U-shaped functionality with a Bosch semi-integrated dishwasher, oven and ceramic cooktop.

Which leaves all three bedrooms to nestle together. The main granted rear privacy, a walk-in robe and ensuite, with a backyard reprieve for breakfasts al fresco; bedrooms two and three surrender to those serene town views each with robes, blinds, and carpeted comfort.

Substantial linen storage, a pristine family bathroom (with a separate WC) outdoor flow via the laundry, and ducted reverse cycle comfort sign off on hills simplicity that rarely sparkles like this…

Bring the white gloves.

Plenty of external pluses include garage ramp access for the walker, trolley or wheelchair, undercover wood shedding, high-set garden areas to sow herbs, vegies or fruit trees, and plumbed rainwater via a series of slimline tanks.

And with a solar panel boost, you can be both productive and efficient.

Surrender to Lobethal's beauty with walkable proximity to the Main Street - for Emma & Ivy, Lobethal Bierhaus, Klose's Foodland, and that iconic bakery…

Set your standards high, in treetop class.

It's top-of-town perfect:
