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.

Data unavailable
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.
The official layer maps a bushfire risk zone on this parcel, intersecting about 99.8% of it (Vicmap Planning, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Verify the extent against the title before relying on unaffected land.
The official layer maps a heritage listed area on this parcel, intersecting about 99.8% of it (Vicmap Planning, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Verify the extent against the title before relying on unaffected land.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
VICZoned RURAL LIVING ZONE - SCHEDULE 1 · RLZ1 (ZN). Official parcel area about 5,162 m². Dual occupancy looks constrained by site overlays or terrain. Two-lot subdivision looks unlikely on the loaded constraints. 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.” Heritage constraint may block demolition or dual occupancy even on a large block. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Official parcel about 5,162 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: BUSHFIRE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY; HERITAGE OVERLAY (HO671). Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $488/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. Heritage constraints are a maintenance and alteration cost, not usually a rent premium by themselves.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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
Loaded constraints look like they kill a naive land-size story. Pay house money, or walk, until a planner confirms a pathway.
Detail
Official parcel about 5,162 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: BUSHFIRE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY; HERITAGE OVERLAY (HO671). Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack.
Nearby competing dwellings and net yield are still unknown.
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 Belle Property Bendigo | Castlemaine | MaldonElevated and immersed in privacy on a tightly held 5,075m² garden allotment, this architect-designed residence by Wolveridge Architects is a masterclass in restrained luxury - moments from the Botanic Gardens, yet entirely removed from the everyday.
Custom-built by acclaimed local builder Edifice, the home delivers over 350m² of refined living where considered architecture, tactile materials and seamless indoor–outdoor flow define daily life. Floor-to-ceiling thermally broken double glazing frames the dramatic raked-ceiling living domain, anchored by a burnished concrete slab with hydronic in-floor heating. Oversized 2400mm doorways, the absence of architraves and skirtings, and flawless custom joinery create a sense of quiet generosity and cohesion throughout.
At its heart, the entertainer's kitchen balances sculptural form with everyday functionality. Premium AEG appliances, a striking Neolith benchtop and a custom American oak island invite connection and lingering conversation. Retractable Centor screens and stacking doors dissolve the threshold to a fully appointed outdoor entertaining pavilion - complete with built-in BBQ, integrated refrigeration and seating - overlooking landscaped grounds and a heated pool.
Accommodation is both generous and adaptable, comprising four beautifully appointed bedrooms with extensive robes and bespoke cabinetry, complemented by a secondary living room or library retreat. A cleverly designed two-way powder room connects directly to the pool zone, where bold golden leopard wallpaper introduces an unexpected, playful edge.
Beneath the suspended slab, a four-car garage with integrated gym space is enhanced by industrial-grade insulation and acoustic treatments, ensuring absolute comfort above. An additional two-car carport and a remarkable 18×12m high-clearance garage/workshop/studio with 3.6m doors provide exceptional capacity for vehicles, creative pursuits or home business potential.
Externally, the material palette is equally compelling. Vertical black Lysaght Enseam® cladding intersects with custom-milled blackbutt timber, designed to weather gracefully into the surrounding bushland. Cemintel Barestone™ panels, locally sourced stone and yellow sandstone crazy paving introduce texture, permanence and a strong connection to place.
The gardens are both sculptural and purposeful - original trees retained, expansive lawns softened by layered planting, and a raised IG heated pool as centrepiece. The Remco Coverstar automated pool cover delivers safety and thermal efficiency, while the elevated aggregate pool deck and custom banquette seating provide refined vantage points for entertaining or quiet retreat.
This is a home where nothing clamours for attention, yet every element has been meticulously resolved. A rare offering of architectural integrity, privacy and elevated country living in one of the area's most tightly held enclaves.
