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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $725,000 (20 Nov 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 776 m² against a 118 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Russell Island (last 5 years) with land size: median $832/m² of land (n=48). 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.

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.

Capital growth

QLD

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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $464/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

Seafood Smorgasbord @ Mudcrab Mansion

Deep water, off-grid brick house on Canaipa Point with crab pots out the front and conservation zone adjoining—who’d have thought?

Direct access to your private beach, or boat-ramp at water’s edge from the drive-through garage/workshop, ensures fresh seafood every day.

Cast a line; light the wood-fire BBQ; take a warm soak in the outdoor bath-house after a day’s gardening; or just enjoy the ever-changing water view of this natural eco-system.

Read the full description

If you’re after a completely off-grid lifestyle—8kw solar with battery backup; multiple water-tanks (26k litre capacity); solar hot water; new trenches and septic recently serviced—this permaculture existence with repurposed timber, wrought iron and hardware throughout, could all be yours.

The entry foyer downstairs is flanked by a guest bathroom and office/cellar/darkroom. Sliding doors and picture windows connect you to outside and the endless views. Extensive under-stair-storage leads to the tiled rumpus with bar and guest bedroom. Potential for dual occupancy (subject to council approval).

A timber staircase takes you upstairs where the view widens. There are glass sliders encircling the entire home providing lofty breezes, excellent cross-flow ventilation and water views to Straddie.

Vinyl wood-look floors, air-con and ceiling fans allow for easy waterfront living, while an automatic climate-controlled roof-ventilation system maintains an ambient temperature. Multiple pet-doors allow on-demand convenience.

Main bedroom has air-con, walk-in-robe and doors to the deck for that sunrise breakfast or evening nightcap. Two further bedrooms (both with built-ins; one opening to deck) share the large bathroom. The adjoining loo and separate oversized laundry provide option to convert to family bathroom, utilising existing bathroom as ensuite from main.

Massive open-plan living and dining with breakfast-bar overlooking the Canaipa Passage. Enormous cheerful kitchen with gas cooktop, induction panel and Smeg wall oven. Timber benchtops and handmade pebble splashback to sink.

Fish direct from the huge deck with a covered and open entertaining area, or take the stairs to the waterfront and cool-off in the converted saltwater spa-pool.

An established veggie garden with compost heap, potting bench, water-tank and garden shed, provide your all-year food bowl. Kitchen staples like ginger, garlic, chilli, lemongrass, Kaffir lime and avocado abound, complementing any seafood dish.

Shady fruit trees offer a tropical fruit-salad dessert: fresh mulberry, passionfruit, mango, banana, coconut, papaya, Tahitian lime and pineapple; a pinch of cardamom; a dash of lemonade; topped with Panama berries and grapes.

Be sure to fill your plate from this smorgasbord offering.
