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.

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: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Campbells Creek's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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
VICPlanning 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $465/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 1.7%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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 Cantwell Property CastlemaineThere is something quietly beautiful about a house that asks nothing of you. No grand gesture at the street, no performance. Just black charred timber, a layered landscaped garden, and the sense that whoever built this was thinking carefully about how a life might actually be lived.
Designed and built to Passive Haus standards and orientated due north, this house is built around the logic of comfort and conscience. Warmth is held in the insulated slab, double-glazed and thermally broken windows and doors frame rather than expose, and an HRV heat recovery system works in quiet tandem with a split system throughout. A 4.2kW integrated solar system and a 20,000-litre water tank plumbed into the house complete a home that carries its responsibilities lightly. Inside, a hyper-ground polished cement floor runs throughout the living areas, with pure wool carpet in all bedrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors in the main bedroom and living room flood the interior with light through winter, dressed in full-length linen curtains and honeycomb insulated blinds that hold it all in come evening.
The kitchen is the considered centre of the home: a generous stone island bench, blackbutt cabinetry throughout, an integrated fridge and freezer, and a full suite of Miele appliances - induction cooktop with central extractor, wall oven and dishwasher. It looks out over the rear garden, which is zen in character: bamboo, considered and clipped, a sanctuary rather than a show. There is a quietness to the outlook that carries through the whole house.
The open plan living and dining flow through to a north-facing vine-covered deck overlooking the front garden, a room unto itself through the better part of the year, catching the afternoon light as the season turns. The main bedroom continues this relationship with the outside: external access to the deck, a walk-in wardrobe leading through to a well-appointed ensuite with walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, and a front garden outlook that begins the day gently. A second bedroom has its own external access to a private rear deck overlooking the garden, a built-in desk and considered storage, making it as useful as it is calm. The third bedroom offers built-in robes and the same understated ease. The main bathroom is composed and complete: a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, vanity and a separate toilet with basin, nothing excessive, nothing missing.
The laundry carries the same practical intelligence: a dedicated storage room and external access to the secure garage, so the working parts of the house are handled cleanly, without interrupting the rest of it.
Outside, the landscaped garden rewards time. The rear is private in the way that takes intention to achieve: bamboo screening, a sense of enclosure, a zen quality that the black cladding of the house only deepens. The front garden flows from the deck and is framed through the living room and main bedroom windows: the vine overhead, the light coming through. A fully automated irrigation system keeps it all quietly in order, and a raised vegetable garden offers something more personal still.
Campbells Creek sits just minutes from Castlemaine, with its schools, oval, independent shops and farmers market, and the easy rhythm of a town that has found its footing. For families, RedGum – The Waldorf School of Central Victoria is close by, an independent school rooted in the Steiner Waldorf philosophy and one of regional Victoria's most distinctive and long-established places of learning. This is the quieter edge of it all, unhurried, well-planted, and without performance.
A home of private confidence.
