This is on the market — is it worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale — no asking price recorded(Listing record · 1 May 2026)
  • FactLand 524,600 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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

NSW

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.” 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?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

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

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.

DA-Approved 15 Lot Subdivision | 129 Acres of Hinterland Scale, Views & Investment Upside

Set across an extraordinary 129-acre holding in the heart of the Byron hinterland, this is a rare opportunity where scale, approval and natural beauty converge. With DA approval already in place for a 15-lot subdivision, each lot allowing for two dwellings (STCA), the groundwork has been done to unlock significant value in one of the region's most tightly held landscapes.

The land itself is as compelling as the approval. Rolling green meadows, meandering creeks and forested pockets create a rich and varied environment, offering both privacy and a deep connection to nature. Elevated positions capture sweeping panoramic views to the Nightcap Ranges, with a sense of space and openness that is increasingly hard to find.

Currently operating as a working rural holding, the property is fully fenced and running cattle, with existing infrastructure supporting primary production. Importantly, it benefits from primary production status, offering potential land tax advantages that will appeal to both investors and long-term holders.

Read the full description

Beyond its immediate agricultural use, the true value lies in its flexibility. Whether realised as a premium lifestyle subdivision, a legacy landbank, or a private estate with future upside, this is a holding that offers both present-day utility and long-term vision.

Located just minutes from Federal village, with Bangalow and Byron Bay within easy reach, the property strikes a rare balance between seclusion and accessibility.

This is not simply a land offering. It is a strategic acquisition with approval, scale and one of the most compelling natural settings in the Northern Rivers.

- DA approval for a 15-lot subdivision

- Each lot permitted two dwellings (STCA)

- Expansive 129-acre holding in a tightly held hinterland location

- Primary production status offering potential land tax advantages
