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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $2,750,000 (11 May 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,490 m² against a 343 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Torrens Park (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,872/m² of land (n=50). 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.
  • FactZoned Suburban Neighbourhood (SN) under the Planning and Design Code.(Location SA · 1 Sept 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?

  1. 1No 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

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Suburban Neighbourhood · SN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,483 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.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $604/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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

    Knownlow

    Zoned Suburban Neighbourhood · SN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,483 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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 1,483 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.

'Ballantyne House'; a magical meeting of past and present, just a saunter from Scotch

Auction Sat, 11th May - 11.30am (usp)

Inspired by the English Tudors of a bygone era, akin to the prestigious residences that define Melbourne's Toorak and etched into Brown Hill Creek's serene doorstep; worlds and eras collide to make 'Ballantyne House' arguably Torrens Park's proudest mark on its storied timeline.

Five years in the making, the latest mark might just be the most notable of all; a meticulous, no-penny-spared renovation that paid stylish, deep respect to the old-world charm of this C1940 two-level home on a boundless south-north parcel, just steps from esteemed Scotch College.

Read the full description

Locals stop to admire the inch-perfect, professionally curated greenery that drapes itself over the home's imposing facade and carves out one of the most tranquil poolside settings you'll ever see within a 15-minute drive of Adelaide's CBD.

Custom steel doors frame those gardens like large, light-grabbing works of art on the wall - and signal the transition between the bevy of living zones that make up the bright, airy and free-flowing lower level.

Whether it's the rear conservatory, regal formal lounge, the study that opens up to the heated alfresco pavilion, the home theatre/4th bedroom or the Carrara marble-laden gourmet kitchen with 900mm Smeg appliances, every conceivable mood and occasion finds its perfect place.

Exposed beams, leadlight casement windows, polished oak floors and the hand-crafted timber-staircase headline the original hallmarks that live so harmoniously with the recently-added terrazzo-style floor tiling, custom joinery, chic soft furnishings and slick bathrooms.

Shouts of 'Marco Polo' from the heated pool, late night stories swapped over the fire pit, fierce basketball battles, and Sunday BBQs cooked outside and shared on a 'crazy-paved' patio; it's the little moments here that will make the biggest mark of all.
