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.

Source
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
QLDZoned Rural residential · RR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 20,817 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.” 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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $668/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.
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
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.

Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Rural residential · RR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 20,817 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
UnknownNearby 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 20,817 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
UnknownNo DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.
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.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by Ray White Metrowest ResidentialThis is a true landmark in Brisbane's Western Suburbs with character in abundance and an enviable setting. Set discreetly away from the road and neighbours, "Swensons Cottage" is a century old homestead which has been lovingly restored and modernised. The home is framed by established gardens which ensure a great amount of privacy. Spectacular Gums and Jacarandas shade large areas of open space while the five acres of gently sloping land has a creek passing through it. There's open spaces for horses, the potential to sub-divide (subject to Brisbane City Council approval), the option to establish a second dwelling or simply move in to enjoy the ambience of this amazing location. The property offers plenty of opportunities to be developed further and is in a position that's hard to beat.
This historic weatherboard cottage was built in 1922 using locally sourced hardwood timbers and the recent renovations have been sympathetic to its origins. Thoughtful planning has enhanced the efficient use of space in this compact home. The lounge/dining and kitchen spaces are basically open plan with classic VJ timber panelling, dado rails and high ceilings. The living areas benefit from not only a charming wood heater but reverse-cycle air conditioning and insulation to ensure your year-round comfort.
The updated bathroom has both a large double shower, heated towel rails and a stylish free-standing bath. The three bedrooms all have great separation and the light-filled home office space has two built-in desks but could be utilised for a multitude of purposes. The main bedroom opens directly to the very private front verandah via stylish French doors and boasts a highly flexible "ELFA" modular system to maximise wardrobe space.
The kitchen has everything an enthusiastic cook will want. The farm house sink is framed by a panoramic fixed window which takes advantage of impressive views over the very private backyard. The 900mm Belling stove has electric ovens and a gas cooktop. There's timber bench-tops with recessed lighting, soft-closing drawers, a walk-in pantry and an integrated dishwasher. The dining area is positioned perfectly between the kitchen and the inviting lounge.
Elsewhere on this flood-free property is a carport enclosed on three sides. It already features a workbench and conversion to a lockable garage could be easily achieved. The generous double shed is steel framed and secure with 15 amp power as well as a mains water connection. Currently it is utilised to house a caravan, a workshop, a home gym and general storage. The original laundry on the property is now a rustic greenhouse and the covered gazebo is the ideal spot for barbecues or relaxing with an afternoon beverage. The boundary is fenced and the immediate backyard is fully enclosed for pets and young children
.
The home is located in a long established section of Mount Crosby. It offers amazing mountain views, walking trails, a great variety of birdlife as well as native animals. Buses to a number of western suburbs schools and colleges pass the home and the area's low crime rate is another great aspect of life in Mount Crosby. The Warrego Highway provides freeway access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts as well as western areas including Toowoomba. The Brisbane CBD is approximately 30 minutes away and Ipswich's CBD is even closer. For more information feel free to contact Ian Keenan at any time. To truly appreciate the uniqueness of this property take the opportunity to inspect as soon as possible.
