Given the $3,333,333 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $3,333,333(Listing record · 21 Jan 2026)
  • CalculationLand 959,800 m² against a 162 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Rental yield

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

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.

An Untouched Sanctuary on Mount Wollumbin

There are very few properties left that feel genuinely untouched.

Set across 240 acres (95.98 hectares) and positioned at approximately 400 metres above sea level, this remarkable holding occupies the highest point on Mt Wollumbin (Mount Warning), backing directly onto the north-eastern face of the World Heritage-listed Mount Wollumbin National Park. Surrounded on three sides by protected land, this is a place of absolute privacy, scale and natural power - a true sanctuary within the ancient Gondwana rainforest.

The land is extraordinary. Virgin rainforest, towering red cedars, mature figs and ancient canopy species thrive here, supported by first-water creeks flowing directly from the mountain source. Solid rock escarpments channel crystal-clear water through the landscape, forming natural cascades and a secluded swimming hole that feels entirely hidden from the outside world.

Read the full description

The property has been organically managed for decades, with extensive bush-regeneration work undertaken, including keyline swales for water management and soil health. It was previously a certified organic farm, producing rocket, lettuce, kale, broccoli, Lebanese cucumbers and garlic - supplying some of the leading restaurants across Bondi Beach, Sydney, the Tweed, Gold Coast and Brisbane. The soil here is alive, fertile and deeply productive.

Spanning three separate titles, the land offers long-term flexibility, including the potential for two separate dwellings (STCA). Importantly, there are no internal fences, creating a true wildlife corridor from the World Heritage National Park through to the Tweed River. Koalas are frequent visitors, alongside a rich diversity of native fauna and birdlife that use the property as part of a broader ecological system.

Privacy is absolute. Access is via an approximately 3.8-kilometre gravel driveway, winding steadily upward through the forest. The driveway is steep in sections and four-wheel-drive access is required. It is well-constructed, thoughtfully drained and has proven resilient through severe weather events, including the 2022 floods - but this is a property that rewards capable, intentional access rather than casual convenience. It is not for the faint-hearted, and that is precisely why it remains so special.

Two established residences sit discreetly within the landscape, each with its own private access via a fork in the driveway and positioned to maintain separation and independence.

The first is a two-level, three-bedroom timber home, featuring gas cooking, slow-combustion heating, a generous lounge and dining area, and a large upstairs master suite with adjoining office. A three-metre-wide veranda runs across the front of the home, flowing onto an expansive approximately 12 x 16-metre deck overlooking established gardens and rainforest surrounds. A large shed, separate solar power room (approximately 16sqm, block construction), and supporting infrastructure service this dwelling. Power is supplied via a standalone solar system, with ADSL broadband and Telstra Next G connectivity available.

The second residence is a substantial rendered block home, offering three bedrooms, three-metre ceilings, and beautiful hardwood flooring throughout. The home features a large lounge with open fireplace, separate dining area, kitchen with slow-combustion heating, solar hot water service, extensive under-house storage and a dedicated battery power room. From the kitchen windows, the outlook stretches toward Springbrook, delivering elevated views and a strong sense of connection to the surrounding ranges.

Both residences have existed on the land for an extended period. Due to the historical nature of the property and its former multiple-occupancy use, formal development approvals or historical records are not known to be available, and purchasers are encouraged to make their own enquiries in this regard.

Beyond its current use, the scale, privacy and environmental integrity of the land make it ideally suited to the creation of an exclusive, first-class health or wellness retreat, offering total seclusion in one of the most spiritually and ecologically significant landscapes in the country (STCA).

This is not a lifestyle property for everyone. It is for someone seeking real land, real water, real rainforest and real privacy - a buyer who understands that places like this cannot be recreated, subdivided or replaced.

Once properties of this calibre are gone, they are gone forever.
