What should you verify next?

  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

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Productive Rural Landscape · PRuL (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 22,993 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 1 development application on this parcel. Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Under Assessment) Latest lodgement recorded 2026-08-04. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline. 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 $505/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.

4 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownlow

    Zoned Productive Rural Landscape · PRuL (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 22,993 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 22,993 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    Knownmedium

    1 development application on this parcel. Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Under Assessment) Latest lodgement recorded 2026-08-04. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline.

  • 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.

Unsurpassed Sea & Island Views

Perched above one of South Australia's most captivating coastal stretches, this extraordinary home invites you to live a life of immersion, retreat, and connection. Awe-inspiring views span the coastline from the Coorong to The Bluff, with an exceptional design that celebrates space, light, and the rhythm of the natural world.

From the moment you arrive, a journey unfolds as you enter via the magnificent entry and driveway, with the spectacular ocean view capturing your gaze.  Once out of your car, meander along the bespoke concrete pavers, through dry stone walls made of locally sourced bluestone - leading you to a home that effortlessly emerges from its 7.35-acre landscape. It's a place where architectural restraint meets emotional richness, where nature, craftsmanship, and lifestyle come together in harmony.

The home's composition unfolds deliberately. Begin with the peaceful guest or family bedrooms and ascend through curated spaces toward a breathtaking open-plan living area - a light-filled sanctuary where kitchen, dining, and living blend seamlessly. Corten steel, glass, and natural timber dominate the palette, offering durability, warmth, and timeless aesthetic appeal.

Crafted with care and intention:

* Corten steel forms a strong, evolving backdrop that blends into the natural surroundings.

* Thermally broken, double-glazed commercial windows with anodised frames ensure year-round comfort.

* Polished concrete, honed blockwork, natural timber, and dry stone all contribute to a visual language of calmness and sustainability.

The Details Matter

* Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three living areas

* Extension (2018): approx. 237sqm

* Original home (2000 by Bailey Homes) renovated (2016)

* Land: 7.35 acres (2.98 ha) approximately

* Multiple heating options: Jotul and Clean Air combustion fireplaces, Daikin split system

* Water self-sufficient: 117,000L concrete rainwater tank with Grundfos pump

* Solar: 30 panels, 5kW Fronius inverter

* Waste: Envirocycle aerobic treatment system

* Outdoor structures: Double carport in Corten steel, 12.4m x 7.6m shed

This is not just a home; it is an experience-crafted over a decade with devotion to place and lifestyle. The original structure and modern extension work in concert, to create a residence that supports multigenerational living, creative expression, and deep rest.

Just minutes from the vibrant community of Port Elliot, yet feeling worlds away, this is a rare opportunity to own an inspirational refuge that lives and breathes with the land.

The views are the equal of anything to be found in the world – the entire South Coast features in the panoramic view, capturing The Coorong, Lower lakes, Goolwa and the townships of Middleton, Port Elliot, Victor Harbor, going all the way to The Bluff at Encounter Bay.  The ocean view is spell binding, capturing Seal Rock, Granite and Wright islands and the Causeway with its famous horse drawn tram.

This unrivalled property is only a three-minute drive from the relaxed village lifestyle found in Port Elliot and just a ten-minute drive from the regional centre of Victor Harbor.

This is without doubt, a one of a kind and not to be missed, opportunity!
