Given the $829,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $829,000(Listing record · 25 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationLand 1,585 m² against a 163 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Tasmania schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Rental yield

Capital growth

TAS

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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.

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

Stunning Family Home with River Views

There are some views that never get old, and from 16 Highfield Road, you'll enjoy one of the best. Positioned high above the Mersey River on a substantial 1,585m² allotment, this impressive home captures sweeping water views that change by the hour, the season, and the weather. Better still, thanks to its elevated position, these breathtaking outlooks are protected and cannot be built out, ensuring your connection to the river remains uninterrupted for years to come.

From the moment you step inside, the home feels warm, welcoming and instantly connected to its surroundings. Stunning polished Tas Oak floorboards flow through the open plan living, dining and kitchen area, where large windows frame the river and fill the home with natural light. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, entertaining friends, or unwinding at the end of the day, the ever changing waterfront backdrop is always centre stage.

The beautifully updated kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with Caesarstone benchtops, quality appliances, abundant storage and a generous walk in pantry, making it as practical as it is stylish. Cedar doors open onto the expansive wraparound deck, creating a seamless indoor outdoor lifestyle and providing multiple spaces to relax, entertain and soak in the stunning outlook.

Read the full description

Accommodation is generous throughout, headlined by an exceptionally spacious master retreat complete with walk in robe, ensuite and direct deck access. Wake up to river views and step outside to enjoy the fresh morning air before the day begins. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for families and guests, including Bedroom 4, currently configured as an office and craft room. With its own external access, it is the perfect setup for those working from home, running a small business, or simply seeking a private creative space.

The home's bathrooms and laundry have been updated, while thoughtful extras such as underfloor insulation, excellent storage and a projector and screen for movie nights add further comfort and convenience.

Outside, the established gardens create a beautiful, private setting without demanding endless weekends of maintenance. Carefully planned and supported by a zoned irrigation system, the gardens offer colour, texture and interest throughout the year while remaining easy to care for.

Completing the package is a double garage, plenty of off street parking for boats, caravans and visitors, and a location that places you close to walking tracks while still being just minutes from the conveniences of Devonport.

• Master suite featuring a walk-in robe, private ensuite, and direct deck access.

• Separate double garage plus expansive off-street parking for the boat, caravan and trailer.

• Meticulously landscaped gardens with a zoned, smart watering system.

• Underfloor insulation and new wool carpet in all bedrooms.

• Updated bathrooms-nothing left to do but move in.

A home with views like this is rare. A home where those views are protected, the lifestyle is effortless, and every day feels a little more special is rarer still. 16 Highfield Road, Ambleside is an opportunity to secure a premium riverside outlook and a lifestyle you'll never tire of.
