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.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
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.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 772 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $766/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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
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 Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 772 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
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.

Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 772 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.

Listing material
Listed by SOLD Real EstateAuction Location: On Site
You won't believe the North Easterly beach views from this home.
It almost feels beachfront with just one home between you and the headland and your choice of beaches, with patrolled surf at Caves and tranquil calm gentle waves at dog friendly, sheltered Spoon Rocks Beach.
National Park hiking and biking trails are moments from home and meander through pretty coastal heath past Pinney Beach and all the way down to Catherine Hill Bay Beach.
Caves Bar N bungalows Hotel Resort and Mylos Cafe are strolling distance from home, as too is our fabulous village shops and cafes strip.
Presenting a substantial home, with colossal beach and ocean views, enjoy outlooks to true breaking waves, and white water rolling on to the sand, out over Moon Island, and beyond to Redhead Bluff, Stockton Beach and Port Stephen's Mt Tomaree in the distance.
Have a whale of the time, watching the journey of our mammoth whale community heading north and track them coming home with calves in tow!
There's days we've counted over 50 whales passing by, breaching and waving, and creating quite the splash.
Beyond the breathtaking views, come and discover an immaculate and sizable home, with a fabulous floor plan, where most of the time you live all on the one level to the easy care, perfect, not too big, and not too small backyard.
You'll be tickled pink with the expansive interior, and fabulous water views from both indoors and out.
You'll be a little less tickled pink by the very pink feature trims inside, in fact they hurt our eyes so much, we made the photographer shoot in black and white, but it's nothing a fresh paint job can't fix!
Considering the size, and the quality of construction, a bit of painting is a small price to pay for this amazingly located and superbly built residence.
Beautifully highest back from the road, in a whisper quiet very friendly cul-de-sac, you really feel frontline, and like you can almost reach out and touch the ocean foreshore headland and the sea itself.
There is only one home between you and the water, and it in no way obstructs your views.
Off set on quite a sharp angle, you look straight down the street to views that can never be built out.
Gorgeous gardens frame the front of the home and create a pretty and very welcoming scene.
Very substantial and high double garaging, with internal access provides a big tick for the practical buyer, who wants room to park 2 decent size vehicles and extra height for their bigger toys and or mezzanine style storage.
For the less practical, and more keen on the visual attributes of a home buyer, get set to be swept upwards by the grand circular staircase that beckons you to where all the action is on show on the main level.
Big beach and ocean views slap you straight in the face as you step on to the landing and feel yourself drawn forwards to the expansive big living with its drop dead gorgeous views. You'll be blown away by the breathtaking vistas, quickly finding yourself outdoors on the extensively extended, beautiful big deck, enjoying not just big golden sand, white water waves, and big blue ocean views, but lovely green headland and wrap around green hillside fringes too.
Large light filled living flows outwards to the big deck outdoor living amd entertainment area, wrapping around to generous oversized dining, with a delightful curve, and magic outlook and access to the picturesque pretty backyard.
Huge open style kitchen, and informal living, like the oversized dining flows outwards to the backyard, via an amazing enclosed indoor/outdoor wrap around living area, all overlooking the backyard.
Back inside discover a generous master suite, which like the main living and deck enjoys huge North Easterly beach and ocean views, with its own direct deck access too.
You'll wake up to spectacular sunrises and enjoy watching the moon rise over the ocean, as you prepare for the evening and night falls.
Blessed with a sizable walk in robe, and a substantial ensuite, this is the one bathroom in the home that has been recently renovated and it is the one of the more modern elements of the home.
The rest of the property promises genuine quality, and superb bones, it just needs a cosmetic makeover to truly make her complete.
Beyond the big views master suite and main living, and beyond the large relaxed casual family living, off the generous kitchen, and extensive enclosed outdoor living that opens out to the backyard, discover yet another very generous living area, or second master suite on this main upper level, with another bedroom and ensuite like access to a second bathroom as well.
Easily accommodate elderly parents in a private wing of their own, with a large living area, bedroom with built in robes and their own bathroom, with the large laundry easily adapted to a kitchenette for them as well, with plenty of living areas and space to separate you too.
Head downstairs and discover yet another living area, 3 bedrooms and a very generous bathroom too, ideal for older kids and or your sleep over guests, or perhaps the in laws, who you don't want living with you up top!
No matter whether you're after the perfect home away from home holiday beach house, capable of accommodating all the family and the extended family too, or you're like our most recent owners, you're retired empty nesters, this property has something for everyone and well the views and the location are undeniably to die for!
If this home hasn't completely captured your imagination and stolen your heart, then perhaps this last piece of the puzzle will.
A deceased estate, our amazing late owner's very last wish was to leave his entire estate to the benefit of various dog homes both here in Australia, and abroad in the UK, determined to look after the canine friends he cherished for the unconditional love and loyalty they give to their human companions and family.
With no children of his own, Uncle Roy, both during his life, and now beyond in the after life, wanted to make the lives of fur babies around the world better, giving them homes where they would be loved and cared for and not suffer.
In the same way Uncle Roy's canine friends enriched his life, he wished to repay them the favour once his life was over.
An amazingly special human being, we pray other fur baby lovers will connect with this amazing home and compete for it the way it deserves to be competed over, for the sake of a better life for them and their family and all the canine beneficiaries who will forever benefit from this great act of kindness.
This house is literally going to the dogs, and we hope everyone embraces this great cause rather than trying to take advantage of it.
Going to Auction because we need a result yesterday, this is an amazing opportunity that will only come around once.
A feel good opportunity in so many ways, don't wait as it is … GOING, GOING, and will be GONE … Sold to the highest bidder, who will forever have a very special home to enjoy and story to tell …
