Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,660,000 (10 Apr 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,822 m² against a 270 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Fletcher (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,793/m² of land (n=136). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned Environmental Conservation (C2) under the Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012.(NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer · 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?

No verification items generated for this record.

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 Environmental Conservation · C2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 1,827 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 $803/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 Environmental Conservation · C2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 1,827 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 1,827 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.

Elevated Luxury Living, Statement Home, Uninterrupted Bush & Sunset Outlooks, Winning Outdoor Entertaining & Pool!

There are homes that impress on arrival, and then there are homes that quietly take your breath away as you move through them...171 Waterside Drive is firmly the latter.

Built in 2022 and set on a remarkable 1,822sqm parcel, this elevated residence is a masterclass in scale, light and restraint, where premium finishes, thoughtful design and an extraordinary outlook combine to create a home that feels both luxurious and deeply calming.

From the moment you step inside, the mood is set. Soft natural light filters through sheer curtains, timber floors warm the palette, and every space feels considered, balanced and beautifully resolved. Oversized windows frame uninterrupted treetop and mountain views, creating a constant connection to the landscape beyond, a view that becomes truly spectacular as the sun begins to dip and the sky ignites in colour.

Read the full description

The heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living zone that flows effortlessly from kitchen to dining to living, and then out again to the alfresco and pool. The kitchen is a standout, crisp, refined and designed for both everyday living and entertaining, anchored by a substantial island bench, quality appliances, generous storage and statement pendant lighting that adds warmth without overpowering the space. Whether it's casual breakfasts, long lunches or evenings with friends, this is a kitchen that brings people together.

Living spaces are generous yet inviting, with multiple zones allowing the home to adapt easily to families, guests or quieter moments. Upstairs and down, the home offers flexibility without ever feeling oversized or underutilised, a testament to its intelligent design.

Step outside and the experience elevates again. The covered alfresco overlooks the breathtaking resort-style pool and stretches across an uninterrupted outlook of bushland and rolling ranges. Here, sunsets are nothing short of mind-blowing, layered skies reflected across the water as the day fades, creating a setting that feels more like a luxury retreat than a suburban home. It's a space made for entertaining, unwinding, celebrating and slowing down.

Accommodation is equally impressive. The master suite is a true retreat, generous in scale and outlook, with a luxurious ensuite featuring a freestanding bath, double vanity and refined finishes that feel timeless rather than trend-driven. Secondary bedrooms are spacious, light-filled and beautifully appointed, while additional living areas offer ideal separation for families or guests.

Solar system and ready for a battery to suite you and your family.

Throughout the home, the quality speaks quietly but confidently, from the custom staircase with timber treads and soaring void, to soft carpets, ducted air, ceiling fans, elegant lighting and thoughtful window treatments. Nothing feels added for effect; everything belongs.

And then there is the land. With 1,822sqm beneath you, the sense of space is exceptional, rare for Fletcher and almost impossible to replace. There is room here to breathe, to play, to entertain, and to future-proof your lifestyle, all while enjoying privacy, elevation and a premium Waterside Drive address.

At a glance, you'll love:

An expansive 1,822sqm block in an elevated, tightly held position

A contemporary home built in 2022 with premium, near-new finishes throughout

Light-filled open-plan living flowing seamlessly to alfresco and pool

A stunning resort-style swimming pool capturing mountain views and unforgettable sunsets

A luxurious master retreat with freestanding bath and hotel-inspired ensuite

Multiple living zones offering flexibility for families or guests

Uninterrupted treetop and range outlooks that change beautifully with the seasons

This is a home for buyers who value space, quality and outlook, who want something that feels special without being overstated, luxurious without being excessive, and rare without being impractical.

Homes of this calibre, on land of this scale, with sunsets this unforgettable, do not come along often.

Come & Besold...
