  • FactLast recorded sale $750,000 (29 May 2025).(Recorded sale)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned Medium Density Residential (R3) under the Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014.(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 Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 339 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 $766/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 Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 339 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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 339 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

    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.

Your Own Home in Caves for Under $800,000, Close to Sand, Surf & Cafes, Torrens Not Strata, with Zero Fees to Pay & Not 1, but 2 Lovely Courtyards!

Nothing beats living by the beach, with great coffee, and everything you need day to day almost at your doorstep.

Whether you're starting out, slowing down, or starting over, this brick and tile, easy care home is the perfect answer for any buyer on a tight budget, who is after a beach house location, quality neighbours, and a home you can move straight into, and do as little or as much as you like.

With an incredible 2 courtyards, there's enough lawn for puppies, kids and grandkids to play whilst still being the perfect block for those who can't stand a concrete jungle look or feel, but don't want to spend more than 10 minutes tops mowing lawns.

Read the full description

The perfect downsize from a big house and backyard, or the ideal upsize from a strata villa or small apartment, whichever way you look at it, this is a wonderful lifestyle and location upgrade.

You will love the 100% freestanding nature of this home, and the easy maintenance of brick and tile rather than weatherboards and cladding that need ongoing painting over the years.

With no strata owners corporation or neighbourhood association, you are entirely your own boss, and there's no fees to pay, just council and water rates.

If you want to renovate, extend or add anything to the property down the track, you don't need permission from anyone other than council, the property is yours to do whatever you want to, whenever you want to, but it's also in great condition, so you can come and do absolutely nothing if you like.

It is entirely your own land and your own home, so when you sell it or will it to your beneficiaries, you or they get all the profit and capital gain, you don't have to share it with the government or retirement village.

With a secluded and secure location, you are set well back from the road, enjoying absolute peace and quiet and amazing privacy.

There's not a single step inside the home and the grounds are fabulously level.

You can access the backyard without going through the property too, which is perfect for when you're coming back from the beach with sandy puppies, kids or grandkids, who need a hose off before they come inside!

The parking is terrific too, with a genuine car space in front of and behind the drive thru garage, so you can park 3 vehicles here if you like!

With a couple of supermarkets, cafes, chemist and so much more less than 200 metres from home, you can ditch the car most days, with the beach and bus stop oh so close by as well.

Inside is an inviting but simple affair, with spacious open plan living that flows off a very tidy, open style kitchen to indoor lounge and dining and beyond to lovely covered outdoor living, all overlooking a lovely easy care, very private back courtyard lawn and garden.

Expect a generous master bedroom, with large built in robe storage, and a position right by the generous 3 way bathroom, with very real ensuite potential if you want a second bathroom too.

The second bedroom makes a perfect kids or guest bedroom or a second living area for the couple who can't agree on what TV show they're going to watch.

If an off street car park or a new carport addition is all you need for your car, the potential to convert the garage into a third bedroom or extra living area is also an easy change, that will cost very little but gain you a lot, particularly if 3 bedrooms is a must.

With a laundry off the 3 way bathroom opening out to another lovely size flat lawn, with a great garden shed for extra storage, you can add a big awning out here and create another whole outdoor living area, with easy access to plumbing and power for an outdoor kitchen or whole other living room.

Wonderful as is, there's stacks of potential to explore as your budget and time allows, if and when you want more room!

With strata villas and 1 bedroom apartments selling for way more than this in this beachside suburb, which has only very recently been voted in the top 10 beaches in Australia, how can you go wrong?

- Totally freestanding & set back from the road, it's private & quiet with no road noise

- Safe & secure, it's great for kids, the elderly & weekenders, after a quiet location

- Close to everything you want when you are on holidays, from cafes to the beach

- Here, you're close to everything, but away from other noisy holiday house guests

- Ceiling fans help draw the sea breeze through the open plan living int the kitchen too

- Love the kitchen with storage galore, breakfast bar & easy connection to the dining

- Enjoy morning cuppas or afternoon chats by the covered and private patio area

- Main bedroom is big enough for a king bed & dresser and has three door built in robe

- Easy access to the courtyard from the living & second backyard from the laundry

- Convenient 3 way main bathroom is generous in size & great for when guests are over

- Promising more yard than others, there's a side yard great for dogs & storage too

- Drive thru access from the single lock up garage, room for an extra car or the trailer
