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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,115,000 (23 Mar 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 735 m² against a 148 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Macquarie (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,488/m² of land (n=14). 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.
  • FactZoned RZ1 (RZ1) under the MACQUARIE.(ACTmapi · 31 Aug 2026)

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. 1No 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

ACT

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned RZ1 (MACQUARIE). Official parcel area about 737 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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 $400/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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned RZ1 (MACQUARIE). Official parcel area about 737 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 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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 737 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

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications 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.

#soldbysally #soldbyash

This gorgeous family home embraces nature, opening to sheltered alfresco living, layered native gardens. A simple white palette meets pops of warm timber to soothing effect, as multiple glazing welcomes light and aspect. Designed with sustainability and easy family living in mind, the home is imbued with a lovely sense of warmth and comfort.

Set back behind garden beds teeming with native ground covers, grasses, sheltering established trees, the home has a welcoming spirit from the get-go. A neatly paved driveway ushers to a gated double garage, providing plenty of off-street and sheltered parking.

Read the full description

Bennelong Crescent is surrounded by green spaces, including The Pinnacle Nature Reserve. The home is an easy stroll to the local schools and shops, moments from the much-loved village centres of Cook and Aranda, whisper close to Jamison Plaza and the buzzing Belconnen precinct.

Sunlight bounces off crisp white walls as beautiful hardwood timber floors flow underfoot. Connected social zones combine to create a spacious family home that fosters a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The combined living and dining captures views of red flowering bottlebrush and drifts to kitchen, and beyond to a second living area that opens to a breezy, sheltered deck.

The kitchen combined living is easily the warm hub of the home, with its inviting breakfast bar, fostering family togetherness. Stone worktops coalesce with warm timber joinery, as every inch of space is utilised to provide maximal storage. We love the combo of drawers and cabinets in a mix of white and soft oak, the roller shuttered small appliance bay, and full-height pantry.

Three bedrooms centre around a stunning family bathroom, finished in floor-to-ceiling subway tiling with deep drawer wall hung vanity and relaxing bathtub. The master bedroom is nicely sequestered at the opposing end of the home and has a wall of built-in-robes for seamless storage.

The deck floats harmoniously within the beautifully landscaped surrounds. A cantilevered pergola shades in summer, where one imagines spending long evenings entertaining with family and friends. There is plenty of soft lawn for the kids to play, the whole garden steeped in peaceful privacy, enveloped by layered greenery in a riot of texture and colour.

Macquarie is surrounded by parkland, close to the walking trails of Mt Painter reserve and The Pinnacle and just ten minutes' drive to the Arboretum. The home is walking distance to Jamison Plaza and close to the Belconnen precinct. The local shops are home to the popular café, Cosy T's, Kinh Do Vietnamese and an excellent pharmacy. Aranda shops are close by, with the famous, Two Before Ten, coffee shop, a popular gathering spot, on Saturday mornings. It is a nice walk to Lake Ginninderra and the Lighthouse Pub. Transport and schools are close to hand and the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC are in easy reach. It is a mere eleven minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.
