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

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Primary Production · RU1 (Dungog Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 10,915 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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $539/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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 Primary Production · RU1 (Dungog Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 10,915 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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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 10,915 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Build the Dream, Live the Fun!

Looking for a property where the serious hard work is already done, but the lifestyle and fun are just beginning? Welcome to 17 Fords Road, a beautifully developed 2.7 acre parcel of land tucked away on the edge of town. Packed full of value with a level building site ready for your dream home, a fully fitted-out entertaining barn, vineyard, orchard, and more surprises than you can shake a pool cue at, this is acreage living with a seriously playful twist.

Whether you're planning a forever home or the ultimate country weekender, everything here is ready and waiting for you.

The Ultimate Party Barn - Yes, With Beer Taps!

Read the full description

At the heart of the property is a show-stopping 16m x 7m Colorbond barn that's been transformed into the ultimate rustic retreat. Slide open the massive barn doors (which cleverly hide chic café-style glass stackers) and step inside to find soaring ceilings, feature stone, timber-clad beams, and a loft that's just waiting to be your hideaway or creative escape.

This is the space you'll never want to leave. Gather the crew around the live-edge timber bar (complete with beer taps, bar fridges, and even an ice maker), cue up a game on the Jack Daniel's pool table, or settle in at the booth with a deck of cards and good company. With reverse-cycle air conditioning, a slow-combustion wood fire, Italian tiled parquetry flooring, and festoon lighting twinkling outside under the covered alfresco, this barn is ready for Saturday night shenanigans or lazy Sunday chill-outs.

There's also a trendy bathroom that complements the barn's stylish design, with a barn-style glass shower door, timber-look modern vanity, decorative floor-to-ceiling tiling, and quality finishes throughout.

Practical Garage + Bonus Accommodation

Attached to the studio is a 6m x 7m double garage/workshop with epoxy flooring, lighting, and a remote-controlled roller door, ideal for your weekend toys, tools, or hobbies. Need extra space for guests, teenagers, or work-from-home comfort? The separate transportable building is currently set up as cosy accommodation, with hybrid timber floors, a glass sliding door, and air-conditioning already in place.

Sandstone Terraces, Vineyard & Orchard

The grounds here are as beautiful as they are functional. Terraced with impressive sandstone retaining walls and thoughtfully designed pathways and seating areas, the gardens are low-maintenance and lush. Wander through your very own established vineyard with Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Durif varieties, harvest from the bountiful orchard, and enjoy the seasonal colours and scents of a well-loved landscape. It's a property that feels alive - and ready to share its bounty.

A Kid's Paradise - and a Grown-Up's Too

This is a property where kids can climb, explore, and let their imaginations run wild. A full Funky Monkey children's playground with shaded jungle gym and cubby house sits proudly on the grounds, alongside grassy space to kick a ball, or simply enjoy the kind of outdoor freedom that's becoming harder to find. Meanwhile, grown-ups can sit back and relax, watching the fun unfold.

Dam, Gazebo & Watercourse - So Much Charm Outdoors

Toward the rear of the property lies one of its most magical features - a tranquil dam complete with solar-powered fountain and aerator, attracting birdlife and creating a peaceful ambience all year round. A hardwood timber bridge crosses the natural watercourse, leading to a beautiful Australian timber gazebo, perfect for morning coffees, evening drinks, or a bit of barefoot dancing under the stars.

Utilities, Comfort & Ready-to-Build Perks

The level building pad is already in place with strategically planned mains power, water and drainage connections, just bring your favourite home design. Two 22,750L rainwater tanks with pump service the property, mains power, enviro-cycle septic system and fixed wireless NBN internet connection. Zoned R5 Large Lot Residential with mail services, everything has been thoughtfully set up so you can simply focus on building and living.

Clarence Town - Country Soul with Coastal Convenience

Clarence Town is the kind of place that wraps you in community warmth. A peaceful riverside village with an IGA, school, doctors, vet, hardware, pub, café and more are just a few minutes away, it's perfect for those craving quiet country living without being isolated. Swim or kayak in the Williams River, trail ride through the bush, or head just 25 minutes to Raymond Terrace or Dungog, 35 minutes to Maitland, or an hour to Newcastle and the beaches beyond.

This isn't just a block of land. It's a fully curated acreage lifestyle, ready for you to step in, pop the cork, and start writing your next chapter.
