Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
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.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.

Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
QLDPlanning 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $386/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. 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.
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
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by Cooktown Real EstatePure quality and reduced well below replacement cost, lucky for you as the sellers have bought acreage and need to sell this solidly constructed home and gardens, so they can move on.
You will be amazed at the amount of work done to turn this sloping 1184sqm residential block into this well drained property, cleverly designed for privacy from neighbours as it is a corner block as well.
Your view is bushland on the slope of Grassy Hill National Park, surrounded by tall trees with an abundance of birdlife, located in the most sought after residential area of Cooktown being within walking distance of the CBD and picturesque Cooktown waterfront on the Endeavour River.
The spacious and private open plan home has top quality fixtures and fittings.
The 4 double bedrooms all have floor to ceiling built-ins plus an extra family room with sliding glass doors to the entertainment veranda where you will spend most of your leisure time.
The versatile kitchen has heaps of cupboards, stainless steel range hood, oven and dishwasher plus a large walk-in pantry.
The open plan dining and living area is very spacious and comfortable.
The extra large bathroom has a feature spa bath and the laundry is also very large.
At the rear of the house is a 6m x 9m garage with 2 roll-up doors and a workshop.
Attached to the side of the house is a 2 vehicle carport.
The gardens have been creatively landscaped with massive granite boulders and irrigated gardens dotted with flowering shrubs, trees and timber walkways on 2 levels.
Also 3 phase power.
The property is fully fenced with best quality materials and is so peaceful, private and inviting, you just want to be there and be part of it.
This is without a doubt one of the best quality built properties in Cooktown and absolutely worth so much more than the reduced selling price of just $475,000.
