Capital growth

QLD

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Zoning is not available (no_coverage). 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 (no_coverage). 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 $676/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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Zoning is not available (no_coverage).

  • 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 (no_coverage). 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.

Mortgagee in Possession - 1,012sqm Block with Views!

Mortgagee In Possession - Will be sold at auction!

An extraordinary chance to secure one of the last remaining large landholdings in Manly Village, offered for auction with a clear instructions, the property must be sold! Opportunities of this scale in Brisbane's tightly held bayside precincts are increasingly rare.

Spanning two lots totalling 1,012sqm, there is significant value in the land although the house itself is large, very liveable and presents outstanding opportunity to live in, land bank, secure a holding income while development is progressed, or a multitude of other options.

Read the full description

Possessing the ideal combination of size, zoning, and location, large blocks with so much potential within walking distance of the Village, the waterfront, and quality schooling are now almost impossible to replace, making this a standout opportunity for owner-occupiers, developers, and long-term landbankers alike.

The existing three level residence is privately positioned behind established gardens and offers generous accommodation for families. The upper level captures glimpses of the bay and islands, while the home also features a large, private inground pool and exceptionally large sheds, a rare and highly practical inclusion in this location. The property is immediately liveable, with clear scope to renovate, reimagine, or redevelop.

Zoned Low-Medium Density Residential (LMR2), the site provides multiple future pathways, including the potential for multiple dwellings (STCA), while retaining the flexibility to enjoy the home as-is.

Positioned within the Manly State School catchment, and moments from some of the Bayside's most loved lifestyle hubs, including Manly Harbour Village, Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, waterfront walking tracks, cafés and restaurants, this address combines everyday convenience with long-term capital appeal.

Key Highlights:

+ 1,012sqm across two lots - one of Manly's last remaining large parcels

+ Premium bayside location within Manly Village

+ Manly State School catchment

+ Prestigious private schools close by include; Moreton Bay Boys College, Moreton Bay College, St John Vianney's, Iona College

+ LMR2 zoning with future development potential (STCA)

+ Liveable home with renovation or redevelopment upside

+ 3 large sheds

This is a rare convergence of land size, lifestyle, and future potential in one of Brisbane's most desirable bayside suburbs.

The Mortgagee has set a sale date of Saturday 14th March with the auction to take place on-site at 2:30pm. All pre-auction offers are to be made in writing on auction terms for submission to the Mortgagee but if not sold, it will be sold on the day.

Contact marketing agents Zoe O'Connor on 0413 832 418 or Brandon Wortley on 0447 269 591 for further information.

**This property is being sold by auction or without a price, and therefore, no price guide can be provided. The website may have filtered the property into a price bracket for functionality purposes.
