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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,141,000 (3 June 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,416 m² against a 150 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Darlington (last 5 years) with land size: median $453/m² of land (n=141). 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.
  • FactZoned Residential (1) under the MUNDARING.(Landgate SLIP · 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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 1,416 m² — that is not official geometry. 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

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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 $790/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

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.

2 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 1,416 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 1,420 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

    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

    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.

Retro Wonderland Retreat

This is a home where every corner feels intentional, every colour choice says something, and every little detail becomes a daily reminder that you chose well. For those craving character over cookie-cutter and a home that feels more like creative expression than copy-and-paste design, this Darlington cottage absolutely delivers. Its whimsical without trying too hard, charming without tipping into cliché, and layered with the kind of retro soul that simply cant be manufactured. From the perfectly pitched sage green exterior, inspired by the State Library of Queensland, you already know you're stepping into something special. Then inside, it only gets better. Jarrah features, thoughtful finishes, beautiful shelving, and an undeniable warmth come together in a way that feels deeply connected to the Hills while still being completely one of a kind.

Inside, vibes are impeccable - warm Jarrah, sunlight pouring through large, timber framed windows, and rooms that feel both curated and comfortable. Fresh hybrid wood floors are paired with new carpet in all the right places, giving the layout a balance of polish and softness. The kitchen leans beautifully into its retro roots with timber cabinetry, pressed tin splashback, farmhouse sink, and a Westinghouse freestanding oven. There's a breakfast bar for homework or emails (or the third coffee of the morning) plus a built-in pantry because storage is always a plus. The lounge is generous, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that makes every Winter moment cosy. Three good-sized bedrooms means everyone gets their own special corner, with a main including an external wardrobe and a shared, neat-as-a-pin bathroom with shower/bath combo plus separate WC to keep mornings running smoothly.

If you're wooed by a proper garden, then hold on to your heart. This one is a full-blown, imagination-fuelling wonderland with a staircase winding down from the stone-floored terrace through arches of greenery into a backyard that feels like it was designed by someone who believes childhood should be magical. There's a tree fort built around a tree (because standard cubbies are for other suburbs), a flying fox for high-speed backyard adventures, a chook house, bird aviary, and plenty of lawn for everything from cartwheels to cricket. Raised garden beds are already thriving, fruit trees are doing their thing, and a massive carob tree anchors the space with serious storybook energy. Feather rock retaining frames it all beautifully, while multiple entertaining zones, both covered and open-air, mean you can host, relax, or just quietly watch the chaos unfold with a drink in hand. There's also a powered workshop or studio ready to become whatever your life needs next: art space, yoga den, teenage retreat, or creative hideout. This is the kind of property people talk about years after they've missed out.

But not you. Because you already know it is meant to be yours.
