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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $730,000 (17 May 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 23,150 m² against a 110 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Sandford (last 5 years) with land size: median $49/m² of land (n=42). 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.

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. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No 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

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $544/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 for this property. 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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

Welcome to 187 Rifle Range Road

A desirable piece of real estate with an immaculately presented three-bedroom home that will effortlessly capture the hearts of many and will make you will feel right at home. A tranquil, welcoming property that enables one to feel adequately transposed from the big city life to their very own slice of country paradise, all the while being a mere 25-minute (approx.) commute by car from Hobart's CBD.

Set back from Rifle Range Road this secluded property has been tightly held and cherished by its current residents since 1989 but now offers one lucky purchaser an opportunity to secure their own secluded haven in the highly sought-after and envied suburb, Sandford.

The heart of this home is a special place combining the kitchen/dining & living zones where everlasting memories will be both made and shared, and where entertaining friends & family will be an absolute breeze with sliding doors opening out from the kitchen/dining area onto the covered back verandah.

Read the full description

Standout features are aplenty in the culinary space from the quality stainless steel appliances including two Electrolux ovens (one pyrolytic and the other steam), Electrolux induction cooktop and Bosch dishwasher, to the custom cabinetry, immaculate Caesarstone benchtops and modern-day comforts to be enjoyed such as soft closing doors & drawers, blum hinges, pull out storage and pantry organiser solutions. Beautiful solid Tasmanian Oak parquet flooring completes this space and is sure to excite the new head cook.

Accommodation consists three generous-in-size bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes and all serviced by the main bathroom, which has been immaculately presented and kept even though it retains many of its original features. This could signify the perfect opportunity (if desired) for the new owner to add their own stamp with a complete bathroom makeover. The toilet is separate for added convenience, as is the laundry.

Other notable features include:

- Excellent use of space throughout home

- Stunning views are enjoyed from the property's top boundary

- Heating/cooling solutions include reverse cycle heat pump and panel heater (heating only)

- Property is also home to wildlife including echidnas, possums, ducks & bandicoots

- There is a wedge-tail eagle & a sea eagle nest on neighbouring properties

- NBN connected (Fibre to the Node)

- 6 inches of insulation in ceiling

- 1x 3000-gallon water tank & 1x 2000-gallon water tank

- Hot water cylinder (water is gravity fed and does not rely on pump)

- Collection of sheds including a 6 x 4 metre hobby shed on concrete slab with power, woodshed (30 years old & is leak proof), stable shed, tack shed, hay shed, etc.

- 3x dog pens: 2x of which are snake-proof and all have kennels with Sisalation in kennel roof (to combat heat & prevent leaks) and which sit on a concrete a slab

Septic waste management system:

- Tank (from Humes) is located under deck and has been pumped out every 3-5 years by Peninsula Pumping Service

- Pumping costs are approx. $150-$180 each time

- Grey water (water from washing machine) is used for paddock

The residence sits proudly on a generous 2.315ha allotment (5.7 acres approx.) and is immediately surrounded by lovely established & landscaped grounds. The horse enthusiast will no doubt be overjoyed by what is on offer and equally eager to make use of the existing horse enclosure, which includes a stable (on concrete slab), tack shed & hay shed. To add, a dam falling just outside the enclosure provides a water supply for approximately one horse. Another great benefit is having direct access to the professional riding school run on the property in front.

Sandford is situated on the South Arm Peninsula and is highly sought-after due to its family friendly community, with residents thoroughly enjoying the quiet beaches and bush trails that are on offer to explore. There are many local shops, cafes, schools and shopping centres close by. Clifton Beach and Opossum bay are also both nearby with a commute of approx. 10-minutes to Clifton Beach, and approx. 21-minutes to Opossum Bay. Travel to the Hobart International Airport in approx. 20-minutes or as mentioned above, Hobart CBD in approx. 25-minutes.

So, does this property tick all your boxes? Perhaps, you're almost there but ideally need a little more living space? If so, comfort can be had in the fact provisions have been made to extend the existing footprint off the lounge room and/or master bedroom.
