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

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,137 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 $621/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 Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,137 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 1,137 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.

Open the Door to Urban Life With Rural Outlook on a Huge 1133m² Block

Proof the McLaren Vale dream doesn't have to come with acres of time-consuming land, this vast home on a big, flat south-north plot borrows its rural outlook to give a growing family the best of both worlds, just a stroll from the town's everyday amenities.

Read the full description

Freedom is the headline inside and out, with a broad single-level footprint giving the family several places to gather or peel away, while the big rear pavilion, workshop, lawn and chicken coop push a beautiful way of life well beyond the back door. You'll never look back.

Open the Door to:

• A far-reaching home on a huge 1133m² allotment, creating the kind of family freedom that usually pushes you out of town

• Multiple living zones, including a front lounge, central open-plan dining and kitchen area, second living room and a separate study for work, homework or quiet retreat

• A new white-on-white kitchen complete with stone benchtops, a long island/breakfast bar, integrated sink, modern appliances, wall oven, rangehood, dishwasher and excellent storage

• A generous dining zone at the kitchen's feet, primed for the mid-week family meals around the table

• A new wood heater, adding a warm focal point to a fresh, bright and practical interior

• Updated flooring across key living areas, lifting the home with a cleaner contemporary feel while leaving plenty of original character in its brick exterior, bay windows and broad single-level footprint

• Four bedrooms including a large main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, plus three additional bedrooms with built-in robes in separate wing

• Two bathrooms with classic 1990s tiling, including an ensuite to the main bedroom and a central bathroom with bath, shower and separate toilet nearby

• A big, lush backyard with open lawn, established plantings, fruit trees, paved zones and room for children, pets and practical projects to spread out

• A soul-sooting rural outlook beyond the northern back fence

• A large freestanding 9x6m workshop with your tools and big toys written all over it

• Chicken coop tucked behind the workshop, adding a useful semi-rural layer to a property already balancing town access with country-town self-sufficiency

• Wide brick-paved outdoor areas, fire pit area, raised garden beds and low-maintenance landscaping that create usable outdoor space without turning every weekend into a maintenance marathon

• Double garage under the main roof with dual roller doors, drive through roller door, and personal access door to front verandah, supported by a wide driveway with access to the backyard and workshop, plus additional off-street parking for extra vehicles, trailers or visiting family

• Home was built in 1994

Close the Door on:

• A family floorplan running out of room. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, several living zones and a study give everyone their own place to disappear

• Squeezing cars, tools and weekend gear into the same garage. The double garage handles daily parking, while the big rear workshop takes the rest

• Feeling boxed in by suburbia. The northern rural outlook gives the backyard a borrowed horizon you'll never get sick of

Services:

• Mains water

• Mains electricity

• Watering system with a mix of auto and manual operation

• New wood heater
