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 (HUGHES). Official parcel area about 1,366 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 (HUGHES). Official parcel area about 1,366 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 1,366 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.

Spectacular luxury home backing Federal Golf Course with buggy drive on access + separate home office annexe

A residence with class and elegance, gated courtyard entry and customised antique doors all set the scene for this estate-like residence which flows directly onto a championship golf course.

Architecturally redesigned by Architects Ring and Associates the home offers grand living spaces and loads of natural light captured through extensive floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the Paul Bangay-inspired gardens and the Federal Golf Course and beyond. The home also provides a seamless inside to outside transition perfect for entertaining.

Exquisite marble flooring, hydronic heating and a north-easterly aspect create an environment comfortable enough for shorts and a t-shirt all year round. With the bonus of prolific native wildlife and formal gardens just beyond the windows, it adds up to luxury holiday vibes 24/7 and yet is just minutes from the parliamentary triangle and CBD.

Read the full description

A two-storey annexe to the main home is currently in use as a full professional business suite/ office complete with its own multi-car parking and entry, a top-floor executive office with mountain views, plus an outer office capable of accommodating three workstations, and a bathroom. This area could easily be adapted and used as 2 further bedrooms. Downstairs, a kitchenette, reception space, meeting room and second bathroom complete a highly functional floorplan that could be adapted for multigenerational living or a live-in au pair or housekeeper.

The primary portion of the residence is luxuriously appointed with amazing bespoke features geared for entertaining up to 80 people. A transparent bottle wine library separates the intimate formal lounge from the Great Room's formal dining zone, but there's the bonus of a 1000-bottle custom cellar and tasting space on the lower-ground level where a full theatre, games room, bar and powder room are also found: complete with a dedicated golf cart garage to top things off.

The main floor kitchen is a triumphant, sunny space crowned with a 3m protectively sealed Calacatta Marble-topped island, premium appliances, a well-designed butler's pantry and adjacent meals area.

All of the four king-sized bedrooms open to the outdoors. One accesses a private courtyard, and has an ensuite. The master retreat incorporates a custom walk-through dressing room, enormous dual rainfall shower and unique moulded-glass double sinks.

Known locally as 'The Resort' for its glamorous appearance and premium drive-on golf-course access, this very special green-belt home is close to top schools, Woden Town Centre, Canberra Hospital and the Deakin medical precinct.
