Given the $995,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $995,000(Listing record · 22 Apr 2025)
  • CalculationLand 207,300 m² against a 240 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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: Tasmania schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Rental yield

Capital growth

TAS

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 for this property.

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. 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.

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.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

    Unknown

    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.

  • 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 Lifestyle. A Future

51 Acres of Opportunity - A Lifestyle, A Legacy, A Future

Some properties are bought for what they are. Others are bought for what they could become.

Nestled on the southern side of the iconic Barron Hill, just 15 minutes from the heart of Ulverstone, this tightly held 51-acre family farm is one of those rare opportunities that caters to almost every buyer imaginable. Whether you're searching for a lifestyle escape, a productive hobby farm, a market garden, extra grazing land, a first step into agriculture, or a place to downsize without giving up the land you love, this remarkable property offers a blank canvas limited only by your imagination.

Read the full description

Lovingly cared for by the same family for decades, this is more than a farm-it's a legacy. A

property that has proudly evolved through generations, supporting everything from potato production and cattle grazing to dairy operations in its earlier years. Today, it stands ready for its next chapter.

For those wanting to hit the ground running, the property can even be offered as a walk-in, walk-out opportunity, complete with an extensive range of farm machinery including a tractor, bale spike, Soft Hands attachment, slasher, ride-on mower, silage trailer and box trailer.

From the moment you enter the property, it's evident the infrastructure has been meticulously maintained. Immaculate fencing surrounds the entire holding, while an extensive network of cyclone gates and well-designed laneways provides exceptional access across all 51 acres. Stock movement is effortless, with quality stockyards positioned near the lower entrance, allowing farm operations to function independently from the home's main access.

Water security is often the backbone of any successful farming enterprise-and here, you'll have peace of mind with an abundant spring-fed dam supplying the property year-round.

Multiple irrigated troughs are strategically positioned throughout the paddocks, making livestock rotation simple and efficient.

The rich red basalt soils are renowned throughout the region for their fertility, making this property equally suited to grazing livestock, growing fodder, establishing a thriving market garden or pursuing countless other agricultural ventures.

Supporting the farming operation is a dedicated pump shed serviced by its own separate power meter, a former dairy still connected with power and water, and a substantial open-faced machinery barn complete with a lockable sliding roller door to securely house equipment and machinery.

Built in 1990 with family living firmly in mind, the residence is warm, spacious and exceptionally practical.

At its centre sits the beautifully renovated kitchen-a space where family naturally gathers.

Featuring elegant waterfall stone benchtops, a breakfast bar, wall oven, four-burner cooktop, rangehood, dishwasher and a generous walk-in pantry, it's perfectly equipped for everything from busy family breakfasts to entertaining after a long day outdoors.

The home offers four generous bedrooms, each complete with built-in wardrobes, while the master suite enjoys the added comfort of its own private ensuite.

Designed for everyday family life, the main bathroom features an easy-access shower, separate bathtub and the convenience of a separate toilet nearby.

Comfort is assured throughout every season with two reverse-cycle air conditioners, a cosy wood heater and additional electric heating options.

Adding even more flexibility, the internal-access single garage could easily transform into a second living area, teenage retreat, home office or continue serving as secure vehicle accommodation.

Step outside and you'll quickly appreciate the years of love invested into the gardens.

Established trees, colourful garden beds and tranquil water features create a peaceful sanctuary that perfectly complements the surrounding rural landscape-a beautiful reminder of everything that makes Tasmania's North West Coast such a special place to call home.

Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

A genuine working farm.

A peaceful lifestyle retreat.

A family home.

An investment in your future.

Whether your dream involves running cattle, grazing sheep, growing produce, expanding an existing operation or simply giving your family room to breathe and enjoy country living, this exceptional Barron Hill property delivers an opportunity that rarely presents itself.
