  • FactLand 734 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Culburra Beach (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,287/m² of land (n=66). 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

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $544/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

UNIQUE CULBURRA WATERFRONT

Culburra House feels like a boutique resort - It's very private with a protected beach front position and ….those views! All surrounded by lush tropical gardens, the house has been meticulously designed with entertainment and fun in mind. Something that is very hard to re-produce is that ‘feel’ you get when you walk inside. It is immediately apparent that luxury, style, comfort and practicality all take equal priority at Culburra House

Upon entering, you are in the living quarters. A large room that encompasses lounging and dining spaces, this is the place to relax. You will be knocked over by the views of the beach, ocean and mountains! Ten metres of sliding glass doors open directly onto an enormous covered deck that spans the width of the house. This space is beautiful in the winter months, too, with the crackling of the wood fire, you’ll be nice an toasty indoors, while taking in that amazing view.

On the deck there is an overhead fan to keep everyone cool while watching the whales that frequently pass by (May to Aug and Oct to Dec) and those glorious sunsets (with drink in hand of course).

Read the full description

The kitchen has been designed for the chef in the family who loves to entertain while cooking up a storm.

Three large bedrooms look after the accommodation, plus there is the addition of the very quirky ‘bunk room’, which can double as a great games room, meaning the kids will be in heaven.

There are two indoor bathrooms, one of which includes an enormous soaker tub made from a giant river stone as well as a generous 12'' shower-head. The second has a large walk-in shower tiled with river stones. There is also a hot and cold outdoor shower for rinsing after the beach and a stainless steel rinsing station for your cossie, wetsuit and snorkelling, spear fishing and diving gear.

You'll be totally spoilt for choice for places to sit and relax at Culburra House. Take in the incredible views from the dining table on the main deck or spread out into the beautiful grounds, surrounded by a lush garden of bamboo. There is also an intimate lounging area, creating the perfect spot to capture the glorious morning sun. However, the ultimate relaxation spot is where the fire pit is located. You can sit in the sun while taking in the view of the ocean and just listen to the waves break, below.

Arguably some of Culburra’s finest views, Culburra House enjoys a Northwest orientation, it is tucked snuggly above Tilbury Cove and is TOTALLY PROTECTED from the southerly and nor'easter winds. These winds can be reasonably strong to say the least, particularly in the summer months. When everyone else has to move inside and batten down the hatches you will be able to continue to sit on the deck enjoying the views in a pleasant breeze. This really has to be experienced to be believed!

Another feature of this beautiful beach house is that there are TWO BEACHES, within 2-3 minutes walk. Directly in front is Tilbury Cove, this is the most protected section of Culburra Beach. It is safe for swimming, and great for snorkelling. Directly across the street is a gently sloping path leading down to Warrain Surf Beach. This means you can move from beach to beach depending on the conditions.

Currently offered for holiday letting, Culburra House is one of the most successful in the area, which means you can reap the rewards financially, as well has have your very own beach house that will be the envy of just about everyone you know.
