Given the $2,200,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $2,200,000(Listing record · 20 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 739 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in College Grove (last 5 years) with land size: median $827/m² of land (n=59). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 183% above the College Grove median recorded sale ($777,500, n=14, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at College Grove's advertised median rent ($560/wk), implied gross yield would be 1.32% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned Residential (1) under the BUNBURY.(Landgate SLIP · 31 Aug 2026)

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?

No verification items generated for this record.

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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 739 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

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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 $560/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 1.3%. 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.

2 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 739 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. 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 741 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.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    No DA adapter returned applications 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.

Listing material

Listed by Elders Real Estate South West Bunbury

Entertainment in the Sky

20 Winthrop Avenue is an exceptional four-bedroom, three-storey architectural residence, offering an impressive 520m² of house area, expansive living and entertaining spaces, panoramic views and a level of amenity rarely found in the Bunbury market.

With the top floor sitting at an elevation of approximately 50 metres, the home captures sweeping views stretching from Dalyellup through to Bunbury city and the harbour, culminating in impressive sunsets from its elevated living areas and balconies.

The upper level forms the heart of the home, where soaring curved shadow-line ceilings enhance the sense of space across the generous living, dining and kitchen zones. Extensive glazing draws the outlook inside, while direct balcony access creates an exceptional setting for entertaining or simply taking in the view.

Read the full description

The main bedroom is privately positioned on this level with its own ensuite and robe, while a second bedroom provides added flexibility for family or guests. A laundry and additional outdoor entertaining area complete the level.

The level below provides two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, but its standout feature is an exceptionally large private commercial-style gym. Measuring approximately 10m x 6.4m, this is a serious training space within the privacy of your own home. Its generous proportions also provide outstanding flexibility, with potential to be used as a games room, recreation zone or converted to provide additional bedroom accommodation, subject to relevant approvals.

The ground floor forms the substantial undercroft level and adds another dimension to the home's versatility. Here, the double garage is accompanied by a bank-grade walk-in vault and an impressive bar and entertaining area complete with its own toilet and kitchenette. Whether used for entertaining, hobbies, storage or as a private retreat, this entire level provides functionality rarely found in a residential property.

Outside, the scale continues with an approximately 80m² cabana providing another substantial entertaining and lifestyle space. Ideal for large gatherings, relaxed weekends or creating a dedicated outdoor retreat, it further enhances the home's ability to accommodate family and guests on a grand scale.

A double garage is complemented by extensive additional hardstand parking, with capacity for more than 15 vehicles.

For medical and healthcare professionals, the location presents another significant advantage with Bunbury Hospital only approximately two minutes away, providing the opportunity to live remarkably close to work while enjoying the privacy, space and outlook of a substantial architectural home.

Further appointments include full ducted vacuuming throughout, high ceilings, multiple balconies, extensive storage and a flexible floor plan capable of accommodating a range of lifestyles.
