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
NSWPlanning 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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $766/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. 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.
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
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 SOLD Real EstateFrom the second the current owners stepped off the curb and on to this property, a love affair with the location and the home itself began.
Most people would have been happy to enjoy this beautiful property, in its beautiful setting and current condition without lifting a finger, but not these perfectionists.
They immediately began planning how to open up the existing kitchen for a more gourmet approach, more in keeping with today's contemporary kitchens, that promise stunning, big island benches, fabulous butler's pantries and a sea of soft close drawers, and sleek, top-end designer stone.
They hauled in the professionals to take out walls, with a designer brought in to create a lovely kitchen, complete with an amazing true butler's pantry, a kitchen they would not only enjoy cooking up a storm in, but they'd also admire for its wonderful good looks and outstanding aesthetics, creating a space where friends and family can gather round and all enjoy.
Mission accomplished big time!
Then there were those tasteful timber floors, that unfortunately made the residence feel more homestead than Beach House, so they had to go.
So in came the much favoured coastal look, plank style floor boards, delivering one beautiful seamless expanse of open style living, spilling off the equally open kitchen and out to fabulous deck living.
Which brings us to the decks themselves, instead of the skinny wrap around homestead affair, yet again the builders were brought in, to replace all of the decking and to extend it way out into the landscaped sandstone and porcelain stone feature garden.
Hardwood timber replaced old treated pine decking, with a podium style platform deck extension.
Finished with gorgeous marine grade stainless steel balustrades, this podium style deck has become a key feature of the gorgeous grounds and garden, large enough to accommodate a proper outdoor table and lounge, for wonderful outdoor living and entertaining.
With so much to look out to, from the garden to the water views, old timber balustrades were the next to be struck off the list both upstairs and down, with the experts brought in to dress the decks with contemporary glass that wouldn't look out of place with the distinguished look of the original home, we think they pulled this off magnificently.
The perfect size, these owners loved its Goldilocks feel, it wasn't too big, it wasn't too small, “it was just right”.
The residence and grounds didn't feel excessive or over the top in size, after all who wants to spend their retirement years cleaning and mowing their life away?
Wonderfully spacious, for just the 2 of them, and fabulously comfortable for when multiple guests arrived to stay, whether for a night or weeks on end, the layout and volume are spot on.
Retreat like upper level living lets them wake up, spread out and relax to delicious beach and ocean views, with sand, and breaking waves, overlooking Caves Beach to Moon Island, and on a clear day, right out to Stockton Beach, and all the way to Nelson Bay's Mt Tomaree!
Set up for sleeping and lounging, this ample space is light filled and views saturated, with return wrap around decking, letting you get your fill of winter sun and cool summer breezes too, with hinterland vistas, as well as coastal views.
A very generous ensuite complements this space perfectly, with an extra bedroom on this level, making a perfect work from home office, and or place for little grandkids to sleep close by to Nan and Pop or a little one to be near Mum and Dad.
Head down to the main level and feel the beach house vibe, where friends and family can gather and spill off the stunning new kitchen to living both indoors and outdoors.
Whilst the owners escape upstairs to their own private retreat, this lower level, promises guests or older kids their own bedrooms and bathroom domain, so there's that nice amount of separation.
With 2 ground floor double bedrooms and another totally renovated modern bathroom and separate toilet, everyone can separate at night and the early morning, and then come together again throughout the day and into the evening in the lovely open indoors and outdoor living areas.
A private hot tub is well placed to enjoy the views and a relaxing wine, after a long day out exploring nearby national park coastal walking and hiking trails, on foot or bike, or a day of hard core surfing, or relaxed paddle boarding, at the beach, or out on The Lake or Channel.
With internal access to auto door double garaging, there is rather an unexpected twist downstairs, with a full size, full head height workshop area and great storage for bikes golf clubs, mower and bins.
Delivering the perfect North East aspect to ocean and beach views, you can't beat the aspect, perfect for warm winter sun and cool summer sea breezes, all in the right places, your outdoor living upstairs and down, be it in the backyard or on your decks, and the open style living both upstairs and down, as well as the master suite.
- A vision of blue & green, water & bush views collide to create gorgeous outlooks
- Best of all the aspect is the perfect Northeast that everyone wants & loves
- Winter sun streams into all of the open living areas, upstairs & down, inside & out too

- Magnificent bonus to die for views from upstairs out to the Northern end of Caves Beach
- With sand, breaking waves & Moon Island, all basking in their glory, views stretch forever
- See Port Stephens Headland in the distance on a clear day, what a view to wake up to!
- Landscaped to perfection, easy care leisure & pleasure, sandstone & porcelain features
- So not a big family Mc Mansion, this is an ocean & bush hideaway for 2, with room for all
- An escape from tight city apartment living or the confines of suburban Colorbond fences
- A peaceful, private, pretty property, set at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac
- Sandstone steps & marine grade stainless steel balustrading create a garden path

At this point in time, at the owners' request, we won't be conducting any open houses sorry..
However, you really won't regret making that phone call...
