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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $699,999 (20 Nov 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,241 m² against a 152 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in West Moonah (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,037/m² of land (n=70). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned General Residential (113.8) under the Glenorchy Local Provisions Schedule.(theLIST · 31 Aug 2026)

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. 1No 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

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned General Residential · 113.8 (Glenorchy Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 643 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $533/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 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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned General Residential · 113.8 (Glenorchy Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 643 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 for this property.

  • 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 643 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.

Mid-Century Character, Mountain Views and Exceptional Potential - Offers closed

Built in 1964 and spanning two titles, 15 Atherton Avenue is a substantial double-brick home brimming with classic mid-century charm and remarkable potential. Set on a generous 1,341 m² allotment, this property is surrounded by secret gardens and mature trees that promise privacy, space and endless opportunity for rejuvenation or redevelopment (STCA).

Nestled in a peaceful, elevated pocket of West Moonah, the home enjoys filtered river vistas and a tranquil outlook toward kunanyi/Mount Wellington. Behind its modest façade lies a residence of impressive scale and warmth. The original section showcases the timeless hallmarks of 1960s craftsmanship — Tasmanian oak floors, solid timber awning windows, and a striking glass-walled foyer that fills the home with natural light.

Accommodation is generous, offering four oversized bedrooms: two capturing mountain views, one opening directly to the garden, and another enjoying the morning sun. The family bathroom includes a bath, shower, and separate WC, while the laundry provides convenient outdoor access.

Read the full description

The elegant living room features a beautiful sandstone fireplace — the centrepiece of the home — and a relaxed sense of flow between rooms. The early-1980s extension adds functionality and space, including a warm blackwood kitchen and adjoining dining area that enjoy leafy garden outlooks and a sunny, north-facing orientation.

Set well back from the street, the long driveway leads to a private position surrounded by overgrown but enchanting gardens filled with fruit trees, spring colour and romantic mid-century landscaping awaiting renewal. With garaging and off-street parking for four cars, the property combines functionality with timeless appeal.

Largely original throughout, 15 Atherton Avenue is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a substantial family home with history and soul. With some imagination and care, this mid-century beauty could once again become a fabulous family haven — a home of enduring charm, mountain views and truly rare potential.
