No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Castlemaine's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
VICPlanning 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $488/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 1.9%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by Cantwell Property CastlemaineSet back from one of Castlemaine's most sought-after streets, surrounded by established gums and well removed from the noise of daily life, this architect-designed three-bedroom home was built to Passive Haus principles and oriented due north. The result is a residence that earns its quiet confidence, warm in winter, cool in summer, considered at every turn.
Spotted Gum cladding weathers beautifully in the bush setting. Inside, the palette is soft and muted throughout, concrete floors, ply-clad cove ceilings, Blackbutt double-glazed windows and doors, with deliberate pops of pink, yellow and green arriving in the wet areas, where bold colour finds exactly the right home.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space runs north, pulling in winter sun across polished concrete. The kitchen is plywood throughout, with stainless steel benchtops, a Smeg freestanding induction cooktop and oven, an Asko dishwasher and an island bench that anchors the room. A Paul Agnew solid wood heater sits at the heart of the living zone; built-in open shelving defines the boundary between the living and the bedroom wing beyond. A split system provides additional climate control.
The main bedroom looks out to the rear garden, borrowing the bush as its backdrop, with built-in robes and a quiet connection to the landscape. Two further bedrooms each have built-in robes; the front bedroom makes a natural home office, positioned away from the living zones. The bathroom is soft pink wall tile with soft green terrazzo tiles underfoot, underfloor heating, a bath, a walk-in shower and a vanity. The laundry carries the same warmth, yellow wall tiles, terrazzo floor, external access, and a separate toilet sits behind a deep green door.
Outside, a north-facing pergola is planted with kiwifruit. A substantial three-bay carport (approx 10.6m x 5.9m), two water tanks of approximately 20,000 litres each (for use in the garden and toilet), and a fire pit set into the bush complete a property designed to be lived in fully. Glimpses of Mount Alexander sit in the distance.
On approximately 4718sqm, a short walk to the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens and around five minutes to the centre of town, this property offers the kind of quiet that is increasingly hard to find, on a prestigious street, in a home built with genuine intention.
