Given the $1,300,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,300,000(Listing record · 19 Feb 2026)
  • CalculationLand 20,000 m² against a 150 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationAsk is 36% above the Howard Springs median recorded sale ($955,000, n=14, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Howard Springs's advertised median rent ($400/wk), implied gross yield would be 1.60% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario 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: Northern Territory schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Capital growth

NT

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

NT bulk cadastre is not an open commercial product. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 20,000 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

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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 $400/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 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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 1.6%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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

    NT bulk cadastre is not an open commercial product. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 20,000 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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.

A RARE RURAL LIFESTYLE WITH ROOM TO GROW

Set across approximately five acres in tightly held Howard Springs, this unique dual-residence property brings together established tropical living, extensive infrastructure, dual rental income and plenty of scope to make the property your own.

From the moment you arrive, there is a distinctly Territory feel. Established palms, bromeliads, ferns, bird of paradise, gingers and monsteras create cool, green spaces around the homes, complemented by an irrigation system, vegetable garden and chook shed already set up and ready to go.

The property has been thoughtfully divided into four separately fenced areas with internal and external gates, making it well suited to those wanting space for animals, a couple of horses or simply separation between the homes, gardens and paddocks. Both residences have their own driveway, power, shedding and secure fenced areas, providing an impressive level of independence and privacy.

Read the full description

The elevated main residence captures views across the tropical gardens and paddocks and is full of rural character, with polished timber floors, louvres and a supersized living area. The kitchen features a striking wall of windows that fills the space with natural light and looks out across the property.

There are three bedrooms upstairs, while underneath the home is a large covered entertaining area, enclosed laundry, and second bathroom. There is also scope to further utilise the space underneath the home in the future.

A substantial workshop with concrete pad and fans provides excellent space for a home business, projects, storage, boats, caravans or additional vehicles.

The second residence is a ground-level two-bedroom home with its own private setting, spacious in-ground swimming pool with shade sail and undercover parking. Inside is a central living and dining area with kitchenette, while the bathroom features a freestanding bathtub overlooking the gardens and rear paddock – a beautiful example of the property's relaxed rural character.

Additional infrastructure includes a second workshop/open-sided shed, water tanks, septic systems and a new bore producing approximately 3L/s. The bore, septic system and associated septic and tank pumps have also been recently replaced, while a six-station irrigation system helps service the tanks and established gardens.

Concrete driveway pads to both residences provide reliable wet-season access, with the acreage having a proven history of remaining non-flooding.

For investors or those looking for flexible living arrangements, the two independent residences are a rare find. The main three-bedroom home is currently leased at $750 per week until March 2027, while the two-bedroom residence is leased at $550 per week, providing a combined rental income of $1,300 per week with established tenants keen to stay on.

The setup also lends itself to extended family living, home-business opportunities or those wanting to live in one residence while generating income from the other.

With two vacant paddocks and approximately five acres of land, there may also be potential to explore future development or subdivision opportunities, subject to planning requirements and relevant approvals (STCA).

Despite its peaceful rural setting, everyday conveniences are only minutes away. Coolalinga Shopping Centre, supermarkets, medical services, cafés, farm and pool supplies, the post office and public transport connections are all within easy reach.

Property highlights:

• Approximately five fully fenced acres

• Two independent residences with separate driveways and fenced areas

• Combined rental income of $1,300 per week

• Four separately fenced areas with internal and external gates

• Established tropical gardens with extensive irrigation

• Vegetable garden and chook shed

• New bore producing approximately 3L/s

• Recently replaced septic system, septic pumps and tank pumps

• Six-station irrigation system

• Air conditioning throughout

• Large workshop with concrete pad and fans

• Additional open-sided workshop/shedding

• Extensive undercover parking

• Concrete driveway pads for reliable wet-season access

• Dry block

• Potential for further improvements and development (STCA)

• Approximately five minutes from Coolalinga amenities

Private, quirky and unmistakably Territory, 20 McIntyre Road is already an incredibly well-established rural property – but perhaps its greatest appeal is how many different directions the next owner could take it.

Whether you're looking for dual income, extended family living, space for a business, room for animals or a property with future possibilities, the hard work and infrastructure are already here.

Move in, invest, create or grow – and dream as big as the five acres allow.
