Given the $749,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $749,000(Listing record · 10 June 2026)
  • FactLand 800 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationAsk is 6% below the Burrum Heads median recorded sale ($800,000, n=47, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Burrum Heads's advertised median rent ($632/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.39% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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.

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. 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 $632/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 4.4%. 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

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

    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?

    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.

Rare 800m² Ocean-View Town Block with Quick Access to the Beach!

Dreaming of building your perfect coastal home where you can wake up to ocean views, enjoy refreshing sea breezes and watch both sunrises and sunsets paint the horizon?

This is a rare opportunity to secure an exceptional 800m² corner block in one of Burrum Heads' most tightly held locations.

Positioned on Burrum Street, the first street back from the ocean, this premium parcel enjoys beautiful ocean views through Traviston Park, with direct beach access less than 100 steps away. Imagine walking from your front door to the sand in under a minute, spending your mornings on the beach and your evenings watching the colours change across the water.

Read the full description

One of the biggest advantages of this property is that it's a traditional town block with no estate covenants. You're free to design and build the home that suits your lifestyle (subject to council approval), whether that's a stunning beach house, a spacious family home, or something completely unique.

Property Highlights

• Rare 800m² corner allotment

• First street back from the ocean

• Beautiful ocean views through Traviston Park

• Less than 100 steps to direct beach access

• Opposite Traviston Park and adjoining council-owned land

• No homes can be built directly in front, helping protect your outlook

• Traditional town block with no estate covenants

• Design and build to suit your lifestyle (subject to council approval)

• Town water and sewer available

• Ideal for a two-storey home to further maximise the views

• Corner position offering excellent flexibility and development potential (subject to council approval)

• Established neighbourhood surrounded by quality homes

• Perfect for boating, fishing, kayaking and long beach walks

• One of the few remaining vacant ocean-view blocks in this sought-after location

Whether you're looking to build now or planning a move to Burrum Heads in the future, this property offers plenty of flexibility. Secure this premium location today, then build when the time is right. In the meantime, you could build a home or shed with accommodation (subject to council approval) and rent it out, taking advantage of the strong demand for holiday accommodation and ocean-view properties in Burrum Heads.

If you're an investor or developer, this generous corner allotment also presents an exciting opportunity. Subject to council approval, the block may be suitable for a duplex or dual occupancy, allowing you to maximise the potential of this outstanding location.

The position opposite Traviston Park is something truly special. The parkland creates a natural opening to the ocean, providing beautiful views while ensuring no homes can be built directly in front of you. It's a feature that not only protects your outlook but also creates a wonderful sense of space that's becoming increasingly hard to find.

Vacant ocean-view land in this part of Burrum Heads is exceptionally rare. Unlike newer estates where homes are often built close together under strict design guidelines, this established part of town offers character, individuality and the freedom to create something that reflects your own style.

With town water and sewer already available, all that's left is to start planning your dream coastal lifestyle.

Whether you're building your forever home, a holiday retreat, an investment property or a duplex development (subject to council approval), opportunities like this don't come along very often.

153 Burrum Street, Burrum Heads isn't just another vacant block-it's your chance to secure a premium coastal position with ocean views, direct beach access, a protected outlook and the freedom to build exactly what you've been dreaming of.
