What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $2,309,000 (6 July 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 157,800 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mossman (last 5 years) with land size: median $500/m² of land (n=84). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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.

Capital growth

QLD

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.” 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 $380/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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

A VAST RURAL OASIS

Embrace the tranquility of rural living in this secluded, peaceful and expansive property located in Cassowary, in the heart of Far North Queensland. Surrounded by enchanting seasonal creeks and lush forests, this impressive property offers an unparalleled level of space and privacy. With a prime North-South orientation, the property enjoys refreshing mountain breezes creating a natural oasis, and the vast main clearing boasts an impeccably flat and conveniently elevated terrain spread across approximately 2.5 hectares (400m max-long x 160m max-wide).

Step inside the captivating residence, designed to showcase breathtaking scenery and embrace the natural surroundings.

A spacious shed and office measuring 7m x 16m are conveniently positioned off the driveway, accompanied by a generous 450 sq m flat and elevated area. The main house and barn are positioned towards the rear of the lot, while additional features such as a chicken-coup, a greenhouse, and vegetable patches await your green thumb. At the front of the property, a forest track leads to another clearing that adjoins a sugar cane field, spanning approximately 2 hectares (70m x 280m), and towards the rear, a further track winds through the trees to an additional clearing measuring approximately 2,000 sq m. While both clearings have experienced regrowth, they have the potential to be reclaimed as usable land.

Read the full description

The main house is a "Garden-View" inspired design, framing the panoramic views with a half-octagon shaped living area supported by a solid Red-Gum Column at its center. The exquisite finishes, including cast iron details, create an atmosphere of refined elegance. Built just a decade ago, this impressive residence features three generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms (including an en suite in the master bedroom), an office, a separate laundry, a rear reception hallway, and an open plan kitchen-lounge-diner. The property spans approximately 400 sq m under the roof, comprising interior space of 206 sq m, a 136 sq m veranda, and a 50 sq m 3.5-car carport.

With expansive verandas, high ceilings, fans, and clever material choices, the house remains cool even in the warmest of climates, while exuding a sense of solidity and prestige. The combination of wood and steel framing, rendered block construction, and high-quality finishes, such as timber window sills and porcelain tiling throughout, create a harmonious blend of style and durability. The kitchen features state-of-the-art Cesar Stone countertops with elegant waterfall ends, and the bathroom boasts a luxurious marble-timber vanity and a stunning 1913 cast iron ball-claw bathtub.
