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

QLD

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Zoning is not available (no_adapter). 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 (no_adapter). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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 $650/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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Zoning is not available (no_adapter).

  • 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?

    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 (no_adapter). 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.

Peaceful Acreage Retreat with Lifestyle, Serenity & Future Potential

If you're craving a private lifestyle escape from the hustle and bustle - without the burden of a large or high-maintenance home - this unique acreage property offers peace, simplicity and room to grow.

Set on just over an acre, the property features a neatly converted colourbond shed with a full-length patio, creating a relaxed, low-maintenance home ideal for one or two people. The open-plan layout combines living, dining and kitchen areas, all tiled for easy care. The modern kitchen offers generous cupboard space, and air conditioning services both the living area and main bedroom. There are two good-sized bedrooms, each with built-in robes, a large combined bathroom/laundry makes the home comfortable, practical and easy to live in.

The land is a wedge shape and far more spacious than it appears from the road, with a seasonal gully adding to the natural feel and outlook. A short walk across the culvert from the home is a double carport providing undercover parking for vehicles, a caravan or trailer, and there is ample space should you wish to build a larger home in the future (subject to approvals of course).

Read the full description

Spend your mornings on the patio with a coffee or wind down in the afternoon with a drink, soaking in the peace, privacy and beautiful green outlook that surrounds you. Some fruit trees are already in place for you to enjoy. The property is fully fenced and offers plenty of space to spread out, add to the garden, plant an orchard and vegie patch or simply enjoy the quiet that acreage living provides.

The property is currently tenanted, and buyers should note that vacant possession may require appropriate notice in line with tenancy requirements.

Despite the tranquil setting, the location remains convenient - approximately 35 minutes to the Townsville CBD and under 25 minutes to the Townsville Hospital, James Cook University and Laverack Army base - making this an ideal option for those wanting a rural lifestyle while staying well connected to town.

As the property is tenanted inspection is strictly by appointment or the advertised Open Homes.

The owners have absolutely loved this property for the tranquillity, space and lifestyle this property offers. However, the time has come for them to move on to the next chapter and for this property to be sold.

For more information, please contact Wendy Litster on 0438 232 788, available 7 days a week.
