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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $740,000 (12 May 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Wonthaggi (last 5 years) with land size: median $811/m² of land (n=58). 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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $459/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Listing material

Room to Breathe, Room to Live

Some homes simply have it all — and 16 Jenkin Avenue is one of them. Freshly completed and immaculately presented in the sought-after Parklands Estate, this five-bedroom residence delivers the kind of space, quality, and flexibility that growing families and down-sizers alike have been searching for.

Whether you're making the move to the Bass Coast for a better pace of life, or looking for the perfect base to host the grandkids in comfort, this home answers the brief beautifully.

From the moment you arrive, the contemporary facade sets the tone — clean lines, a refined neutral palette, and a fully landscaped and concreted block that is as low-maintenance as it is good-looking. The expansive corner block position is a genuine point of difference, offering sliding gate access at the rear — ideal for securing the boat, caravan, or trailer out of sight and off the street. Everything has been thought through, and nothing has been left to chance.

Read the full description

Inside, the home is defined by its generous proportions and intelligent layout. Two distinct living zones create natural separation — one for the main household, and one that adapts effortlessly to a teenage retreat, home office, or a self-contained space for visiting family. With five bedrooms across the floorplan, there is room for everyone to spread out without compromise. The master suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a walk-in robe and well-appointed ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by quality shared bathrooms and feature quality shade and blockout blinds throughout — ensuring every room is comfortable year-round.

At the heart of the home sits a kitchen that means business. Designed for real family life, it features a huge walk-in pantry — the kind of storage space that actually makes a difference day to day — quality appliances, sleek cabinetry, and generous bench space that makes cooking for a crowd genuinely enjoyable.

Year-round liveability is taken care of by the fully undercover entertainer's deck, complete with ziplock blinds that transform the space into an all-weather room — perfect for morning coffees in July or long summer lunches with extended family. Ducted heating and cooling throughout ensures the interior is equally comfortable whatever the season brings.

Parklands Estate is one of Wonthaggi's most appealing newer communities — a thoughtfully designed neighbourhood with easy access to the town centre, schools, medical services, and the stunning coastline that makes Bass Coast living so coveted. Inverloch, Cape Paterson, and the broader region's beaches and trails are all within easy reach.

This is a home built for living — generously, comfortably, and without compromise.
