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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $935,000 (22 May 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 20,234 m² against a 104 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mount Helena (last 5 years) with land size: median $312/m² of land (n=106). 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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 20,234 m² — that is not official geometry. 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?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $649/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 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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 20,234 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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.

SUPERB 5 ACRE SMALL HOBBY FARM CLOSE TO TOWN!

This home in central Mount Helena, just 500m (approx.) from the school is one of those properties that you just long to see come to market! Quality built by an Italian family in the 70s and then bought and loved by the current owners in the 80s, this 4-bedroom home has only ever had 2 owners and is so obviously a labour of love.

Here you get so much good infrastructure and a home that oozes warmth and charm. Featuring a garden that should be in a magazine, paddocks for the goats and sheep, a bore, a chook setup that is next level and a whopping 100kg of Macadamias a year along with so much fruit and vegetables from the 140sqm (approx.) of covered raised beds. Throw in solar panels, 3 fantastic sheds, 3 phase power, mains water and a fully fenced block with a stunning winter dam and this has hills lifestyle - raise the family and self-sustainability - written all over it.

This is an original 70's brick and clay roof tile home with lovely timber floorboards throughout. The large light-washed country kitchen was upgraded some 15 years back and will be the focal point of so many memories to come. It accommodates a large dining room table, a top-quality freestanding stove and so many cupboards! There is a spacious lounge with effective wood fire heating, a separate diner for formal meals along with 4 good sized bedrooms. There is a family bathroom with tub, WC and shower facilities. The laundry is out back off the porch and has a second WC - and was probably set up to double as a pickling room. The home itself is immaculate - there is not a crack or a thing out of place and you can just sense the wonderful stories that it must hold!

Read the full description

But while it truly is a beautiful home, it is outside that you will likely continue to remember after you have seen this property, it is just picture perfect. A garden parkland is how I first thought of it - but it quickly became clear as we walked around that over the years this family has added and expanded infrastructure in line with a thoughtful holistic plan to ensure it will sustain whoever is lucky enough to own this spread!

It is set up for growing your own produce, the productive bore feeds the masses of fruit trees, raised garden beds and macadamia nut trees. It also greens the beautiful grounds around the house and provides the ability to create manicured lawns that will provide you with glorious picnic spots all year round. There is a second driveway that leads to a large 3 phase powered shed and from there you can take off in so many directions - to the chook house that is provisioned for raising day old chicks and is so productive, the sheep paddock that is easily accessed from the feed shed, the back paddock and dam (magazine worthy in winter!) which is approximately 2.5 acres in size and fully fenced, the two large powered storage sheds, or just wander back to the house for morning tea!

The thing that makes this just so good is the black sandy and loamy soil underfoot. Things just grow so well here. There are beautiful deciduous trees that are fire retardant, and the poplars and park trees have been positioned as very effective wind breaks. There are 2 tanks that provide beautiful, filtered drinking water as well. If you wanted to create a proper market garden here, it would support it easily. With 30% shade cloth over your produce, it will keep going strong all year round.

With the bonus of solar power on the roof, 3 phase power for the tradies, easy access to town and Mundaring and more, this is an amazing, beautiful landscape that will be home once more to one lucky family for (I am sure) many more years to come. Make it yours and don't miss this very special opportunity, this would ideally suit a family or couple with time to spend outside and the owners would love to see it expanded even further.
