What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $860,000 (5 Feb 2020).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 68,300 m² against a 100 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Cygnet (last 5 years) with land size: median $644/m² of land (n=43). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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 $460/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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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. 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 (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

Hand Crafted Home

Nestled in a rural valley, this property offers peace and tranquility, yet is walking distance to the vibrant town of Cygnet. Every morning you will wake to the sound of birdsong and frog calls and your morning coffee will take in views of the lake and the forested hillside beyond.

Built in early 2017 the north facing home is constructed of straw bales with a front feature wall of spotted gum, the interiors make stunning use of recycled bricks and timber and a polished concrete floor gives year round comfort. Add to this the use of highly efficient double glazing and the home achieved an enviable 8.7R energy rating. Which makes it wonderfully warm and cozy in winter, yet naturally cool during the hot summer days.

This delightfully low maintenance home encourages you to live a simple, more natural way of life. Foraging for fruit and veggies in the netted garden, cooking on the wood-fired slow combustion stove, soaking in the luxury of a deep rainwater filled bath or even a dip in the lake to start the day or cool off in summer.

Read the full description

There are more than 16 acres in total, mostly native forest, with numerous stands of blue gums. However the house garden consists of around 1 acre, it is fully fenced with wallaby netting and there is a further acre or so of pasture, enough for a few sheep or a pony.

One of the true assets here is water, the lake near the home is used for swimming and irrigation. There is a second dam in the pasture paddock and Galleries Rivulet also flows through the property.

The home is two bedrooms and one bathroom with a large carport off the back containing the laundry. There is also a timber garden/woodshed and a fantastic studio space which has its own driveway access and yard making it ideal for many future uses like separate accommodation(STCA).

The home is connected to the NBN and has a 3.6kw grid connect solar system as well as a wetback on the combustion stove to keep power bills down.

It is rare for a home of this quality to come on the market, particularly so close to town but still feeling so private. Please call for an inspection as it's by appointment only.
