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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 910 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Balaklava (last 5 years) with land size: median $313/m² of land (n=38). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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

SA

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 $402/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.

Cottage on the Corner

If you're downsizing or you have a small family but you still want a beautiful garden, a good-sized garage and room for the caravan, boat (or both) this quaint and comfortable cottage may be just the home you're looking for. Adrian Miller welcomes you to 20 Whitwarta Road, Balaklava!

Located on a corner allotment of approximately 910m2 on the fringe of the township, this property has a 9m x 6m lock up garage with concrete floor and power, landscaped cottage gardens which have been substantially improved by the current owners, a large concrete parking area and custom made shade sail for extra undercover parking for taller vehicles.

A big shade tree at the front of the home is the ideal place to sit with a cuppa and enjoy the tranquil outlook and there's also a covered verandah at the rear, which the current owners were thinking of extending out further into the back garden.

Read the full description

Roses, salvias, established ornamental pear trees and shrubs like the gorgeous 'Geisha Girl' add colour and a sense of peacefulness to the front of the property, while the side veggie garden includes a plum tree and garden beds ready to plant for your preferred productive garden.

Inside the cottage has the same quaint appeal, with floating flooring added by the current owners to the lounge, traffic areas and kitchen and three separate reverse cycle air conditioners (to both bedrooms and the lounge room).

The current owners have also added a central island in the kitchen which doubles as a dining bar, with the monochrome colour palette very on-trend and in keeping with the style of the home.

Highly functional, the kitchen still has plenty of room for a double fridge, there's a microwave nook, dishwasher and a freestanding cooker with stainless steel rangehood.

Both bedrooms have timber floorboards and are very comfortable and the bathroom has a contemporary shower with glass frame, big white wall tiles and gas hot water. The bonus is there's a second toilet off the laundry, handy when you've been pottering in the garden, working in the powered garage or entertaining out the back.

Beautifully structured but still soft and appealing, the back garden has a hedge separating the big concrete driveway from the lawn area and there's sliding door access to the shed for vehicles as well as separate pedestrian access.

If you didn't want to put vehicles in the garage, it's an ideal workshop (or use for both).

The property is on town water but there's also a 22,500 litre Bushman's rainwater tank to help you keep the garden looking green and lush.

Some furniture will be included in the sale, please discuss further with agent Adrian Miller.

Just 850 metres to the local Foodland in the centre of town, Balaklava also has schooling, a football and netball club, bakery, hotel and hardware store. It's only 40 minutes to the Clare Valley, approximately 47 minutes to Gawler.

Additionally:

Built: 1959.

Local Government: Wakefield.

Easement: No.

Zone: N-Neighbourhood

Land Size: 910m2 approximately
