Districts View
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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 2,024 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $494/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 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.
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.

Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?

Lot-level flood

This lot's DA history

Listing material
Listed by Elders Real Estate EsperanceTimeless appeal
Spanning across 2 lots with a rare and sought-after internal floor plan of over 350sqm, this property offers an exceptional blend of history, character, and modern living.
Originally built in 1962, by the Australian Aboriginal Evangelical Mission as a youth hostel, to house over 40 young men who were working and training in Agriculture in the district at the time.
From its historical starting point, the property was converted to a backpacker's hostel, which concluded in 2004, when it was renovated into a spacious family home with high ceilings throughout.
Beautiful gardens offer a warm welcome as you enter through the portico to a sizable foyer with cloak room and access to a separate home office.
The fully equipped kitchen overlooks the dining area and includes a 900mm gas stovetop, an oven set against plentiful storage cupboards plus a large walk-in pantry with loads of fridge space. This area was retrofitted with a partial vaulted ceiling to include 3 windows, infusing the space with natural light and a sense of grandeur.
The central lounge room is afforded light via three louvre windows and is warmed by a wood fire. A second sitting/sunroom is located off the kitchen/dining area with exposed aggregate flooring.
The West wing of the home incorporates 2 identical bedrooms with step-down areas, a dressing room fitted with built-in wardrobes and a modern bathroom with walk-in shower, vanity and WC. There is also a storage room and sheltered access to the lockable double carport with auto door.
The East wing offers 3 bedrooms (2 with open wardrobes), an enclosed verandah, which could be utilised as a third living area, spacious bathroom with shower, bath, vanity and WC and a well-equipped laundry with plenty of storage space and a separate WC.
Entertaining will be a delight in the sheltered gable roof patio with exposed aggregate flooring plus there are 3 extra alfresco areas to choose from depending on the weather or time of day.
Wander through the manicured gardens which are reticulated by a bore and offer a lawned area for the kids to play, chook pen, vegetable beds and a powered outbuilding with 2 rooms currently utilised for workshops/storage.
Gated side access takes you to the rear of the lot which is retained by way of a gabion rock wall.
Possessing features which are beautiful and characterful whilst also achieving a practicality, this home is a rare find and an inspection is recommended to truly appreciate all that is on offer.
