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 Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 753 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. 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 $602/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

This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.

Detail

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 753 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.

Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.

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.

4 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 753 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. 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 753 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

    Knownmedium

    No development applications were returned for this parcel. That is not a statement about nearby lots.

  • 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.

Your Very Own Boat Ramp, Contemporary Light Filled Waterfront Access Living, Water Views, Ample Outdoor Entertaining, Garaging, Caravan & Boat Parking

Perfectly positioned and enjoying direct boat access to the water's edge, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy bay-front living with infrastructure that genuinely supports the lifestyle, not just the view.

This is a home designed for people who want to live on the water but don't have the budget it takes to be waterfront.

Enjoy private boat ramp access, and launch your boat, jet ski or kayak effortlessly from home.

Read the full description

Early morning fishing trips, spontaneous afternoon paddles or sunset cruises are all part of everyday life here, without the need to tow, queue or travel elsewhere.

The upper level of the home is warm, welcoming and designed to flow.

Open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas connect seamlessly to the expansive wrap-around deck, creating an easy indoor–outdoor relationship that suits both entertaining and quiet moments overlooking the bay.

Large sliding doors invite in light, breeze and outlook, making this level feel open, calm and deeply connected to its setting.

The kitchen itself is both elegant and highly functional, anchored by generous bench space that naturally becomes the gathering point for family and friends.

Clean lines, contemporary finishes and quality appliances create a space that feels timeless rather than trend-driven, while the layout allows you to cook, prepare and serve without ever feeling closed off or separate from the living areas.

The master suite offers a peaceful retreat, opening directly onto the deck so you can wake to fresh air and Bay views.

The ensuite is beautifully finished with elegant tiling and a refined, calming feel, while the walk-in robe provides excellent storage without compromising on space or comfort.

What truly sets this home apart, however, is the exceptional storage, access and garaging — a rare find in waterfront lifestyle homes.

Running alongside the home is a full-length carport, ideal for securely parking a boat, caravan or additional vehicles, with excellent side access that makes manoeuvring easy.

Downstairs, a huge covered entertaining zone flows into a substantial under-house space that includes extensive storage and a dedicated workshop, perfect for a serious man cave, hobby space, home gym, or simply somewhere to tinker, store and spread out.

It's a practical, flexible area that adds real value for buyers who need more than just a place to park the car.

The level yard leads directly to the water's edge, creating a seamless connection between home and bay.

Whether swimming, paddle boarding, fishing or simply enjoying the outlook, this home offers a waterfront lifestyle without the price tag of owning to the waterfront.

It feels easy, functional and genuinely usable.

Set in one of Swansea's most tightly held waterfront precincts, this home is moments from Swansea Channel, cafés, shops and beaches, with effortless access to both Lake Macquarie and the ocean beyond.

• Absolute waterfront access not ownership, ideal for boating, swimming, fishing & paddle boarding.

• Private on-site boat ramp access for effortless access to the water without having to rely on public facilities.

• Expansive wrap-around deck capturing wide water views and cooling bay breezes.

• Spacious master suite enjoying direct deck access and calming water views.

• Sought-after position close to Swansea Channel, local shops, cafés and beaches.

This is a home that understands lifestyle — not just how it looks, but how it's lived.

Private boat ramp.

Exceptional garaging and storage.

True waterfront living, done properly.
