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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 506 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Caves Beach (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,216/m² of land (n=110). 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

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $766/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Nothing Beats Frontline to the Ocean, Except Frontline to the Beach! Very Much Limited Edition Lifestyle Location, Stroll to Cafes, Hotel & Surf Club!

What does every buyer we talk to want?

They want genuine beach views and this home has them in over supply. See the sand, see the surf, see Moon Island and out to sea, enjoy the ships twinkling at night on the horizon, watch the sun and moon rise over the ocean.

Buyers want easy beach access and their choice of patrolled beach, dog friendly beach, top surfing spots and safe swimming and all of this is literally just across the road!

Read the full description

They want to walk to everything and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at their choice of venues, The Caves Hotel on the beach, The Mawson Restaurant and Boffee Cafe with easy odd Sunday afternoon drinks and music down at the Caves Beach Surf Club.

Who wouldn't want a lifestyle like this, just 1 hour North of Hornsby, where the beaches are pristine, where you can forget Sydney traffic and Sydney crowds, where the natives are friendly and welcoming and love the outdoors.

Nestled between National Park to the South and Swansea Channel to the North with Lake Macquarie to the West and the Pacific Ocean to the East, Caves Beach really is God's Country and a water and bush lovers paradise, where you can enjoy a great coffee and a yoga class seconds from home.

- Elevated, this property enjoys better beach views than many on The Esplanade

- These views can be enjoyed from upstairs & down, both inside & outdoors too

- Generous open living drinks in panoramic, ocean, reserve & great beach views

- The living spills outdoors to a full width sun & sea breeze kissed covered deck

- Like next door you can further extend the deck if you want more outdoor living

- Add stairs if you like to create 2 completely independent upper & lower levels

- Up top enjoys ducted air, open living, kitchen, 3 bedrooms & a 3way bathroom

- All bedrooms include built in robes with the master & second boasting a view

- Head down to open second living & a great guest bedroom with robes & views

- A downstairs bathroom is perfect for guests & also saves you going upstairs

- Appreciate a lovely level yard with room for a pool & lawn for puppies & kids

- Drive thru, auto door, oversized big garaging, makes for easy backyard access

With land and knockdowns a long way back from the beach, patrolled sand and surf and Caves cafes and village shopping hub going for well over $2,000,000, we can't wait to see what an actual liveable home in this position will go for.

Yes it could do with some cosmetic touches, but the bones are good and the future's very bright!
