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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $605,000 (8 Sept 2020).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 39,100 m² against a 359 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded Rural Property sales in Howard (last 5 years) with land size: median $7/m² of land (n=3). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

QLD

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.

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

    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.

Sold

Modern, spacious, 8 year-old master built home on 10 acres of your own botanical gardens. Situated 30 minutes from bustling Hervey Bay (with all major retailers and services), 5 minutes from the historic, self-contained village of Howard, and just 15 minutes to the beautiful ocean beaches at Burrum Heads. And for golfers, Burrum District Golf Club is within easy walking distance of the property.

The house is currently configured with 4 bedrooms, including a luxury sized master with retreat area, double shower ensuite and huge walk in robe, good sized main bathroom, separate laundry, a huge open kitchen/formal dining/breakfast nook, 2 large living areas (one formal), separate library, office, walk in linen, and alfresco dining area with covered verandah and orchid house attached.

It boasts all the luxury features, including ducted air-conditioning, quality ceiling fans, 2.7 metre ceilings, a chefs kitchen with huge benchtop areas, 900mm Bompani oven/5 burner gas cooktop, and a large butlers pantry with appliances bench. The house is fully insulated with security grill insect screens.

The landscaping is breathtaking, with rolling lawns, fruit orchids (dragon fruits, citrus, apples, avocados, nuts etc), exotic flowering trees, your own personal, small rainforest with brick paths and benches, and a shaded picnic area, flanked by garden beds, at the edge of the main dam. Two rose gardens, and a large cultivated vegetable area with a nursery shade-house complete the picture.

Storage is plentiful, with a huge 12mx9m garage fitted with remote controlled doors that can accommodate multiple cars, trailers etc, a 9m x 6m shed with two roller doors for tools and mowers, a smaller garden shed, and a generous chicken shed which can be shut tight at night.

The property is fully fenced (dog proof) and flood free. Water is harvested from every available roof and stored in 7 water tanks holding 67,500 litres for the house, and around 58,000 litres for the gardens. These, together with a bore and 5 dams connected to electric pumps and hundreds of metres of piping, ensure absolute water security. There is also a 22 panel solar system, a SolarHart hot water service, and a Taylex waste management system.

Annual rates $1501. Quarterly electricity around $50

A must to inspect if you aspire to one of the best and affordable lifestyles Australia has to offer.
