No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: South Australia schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Stirling North's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.

Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
SAZoned Neighbourhood (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 5,170 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.
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. 1 development application on this parcel. Code Assessed - Deemed to Satisfy (Decision Made) Latest lodgement recorded 2025-01-15. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $340/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 11.4%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by One Point Eight Real EstateIS THIS SOUTH AUSTRALIA'S CHEAPEST HOUSE?
$155,000 • 3 BEDROOMS • APPROX. 4,763SQM OF LAND
Stop scrolling. This one is different.
At just $155,000, this three-bedroom home in Stirling North, part of the Port Augusta area, could be one of the most affordable houses currently available in South Australia.
And here's the part that really gets interesting.
Approximately 4,763sqm of land.
That's almost half a hectare.
Now, let's be upfront.
The house has seen better days. It needs some TLC, renovation and someone with vision.
But here's the opportunity:
YOU CAN FIX A HOUSE. YOU CAN'T CREATE MORE LAND.
The home offers three bedrooms, central living, kitchen and dining, while outside you'll find multiple garages, carports, original horse yards and a stable.
WHY STIRLING NORTH?
Stirling North sits just north of Port Augusta, a regional South Australian city known as the "Crossroads of Australia" because of its important position connecting major routes through the state.
With Port Augusta nearby, residents have access to a range of shops, schools, sporting facilities, medical services, restaurants and other essential amenities, while Stirling North offers a quieter, more spacious lifestyle.
The surrounding region is also known for its rugged landscape, open spaces and strong connection to the mining, pastoral and transport industries.
THIS PROPERTY COULD SUIT:
THE RENOVATOR
A genuine project with plenty of scope to transform the existing home.
THE TRADIE
Room for vehicles, machinery, storage and a workshop.
THE INVESTOR
An opportunity to add value and investigate the potential of this substantial allotment, subject to the relevant approvals.
THE SPACE SEEKER
Almost 4,800sqm (Aprox) gives you room to create something that's truly your own.
DON'T BUY WHAT IT IS. BUY WHAT IT COULD BECOME.
At $155,000, this isn't about buying a perfect home.
It's about buying land, space and potential at a price that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
IS THIS SOUTH AUSTRALIA'S CHEAPEST HOUSE?

Nearby development pipeline
Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 5,170 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
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history

Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
