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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $795,000 (1 Dec 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,012 m² against a 120 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Kurri Kurri (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,020/m² of land (n=129). 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 Medium Density Residential (R3) under the Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2011.(NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer · 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.

Heritage

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Capital growth

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2011). Official parcel area about 1,015 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $510/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. 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

This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.

Detail

Zoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2011). Official parcel area about 1,015 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.

Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.

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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2011). Official parcel area about 1,015 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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 1,015 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

HIT THE GROUND RUNNING!

Act now... and you could be enjoying Christmas in your new home.

All the hard work (and expensive work) has been done, you can move right in and feel fabulous in your new home.

This Good Old Fashioned hardwood frame home has been PVC clad, and boasts a near-new colorbond roof!

Read the full description

Inside - it's like a brand new home!

You're greeted with a covered front porch, wide hallway and bedrooms left and right.

Hybrid floorboards throughout the home create a stylish and spacious feel.

The main bedroom features a walk-in-robe and quality ensuite.

All three carpeted bedrooms are of generous proportions as you'll see on the floor plan.

Your main bathroom is on-point with huge tub and separate shower.

Internal laundry and enormous linen press are positioned inside the home to support functionality for a busy family.

The kitchen is sleek and modern with island sink / breakfast bar, ceramic cooktop and flued exhaust.

Open plan dining and living is a cliche sometimes - but THIS is how it's done!

Drenched in natural light the living area of the home has huge glass sliding doors and windows, and air conditioning of course.

In fact... the whole home speaks of class and quality from top to toe!

The large 1012m2 lot is positioned on the high side of a quiet street, rear lane access is available.

With a proud 20m frontage, you could have choice regarding driveway access. The current vehicle access point is on the righthand side of the home.

There are no easements on the land, making life easier when designing the backyard to include outdoor entertaining, garage, shed or in-ground pool (all of which are STCA). The backyard faces north - everybody's preffered orientation for summer shade, and maximum warmth with a winter sun!

There's potentially a subdivision opportunity here... if you're not into big backyards, consider the possibility of subdividing the back section off and selling the newly created vacant lot (battle-axe land approx 500m2 could be worth at least $300,000). Of course there are costs associated with a project like this, so we suggest do your due dilligence. This suggestion is strickly subject to Council approval. Just an idea worth investigating ... could be a great way to pay off a large slice of that mortgage! Make your own enquiries.

Rent Return of approx $600pw is achievable as is. No work required.

Quiet location yet so handy - walk to:

Coles approx 450m

Kurri Kurri Public School approx 450m

Aldi approx 1100m

Kurri Kurri High School 2200m

Kurri Kurri Acquatic & Fitness Centre 1300m

PREVIEW WEEK 1 - then a price guide will be published.
