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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,130,000 (7 Feb 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 766 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Kaleen (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,269/m² of land (n=33). 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

ACT

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $460/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

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 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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.

#soldbycris $1,130,000 #soldbymcreynolds $1,130,000

Packed with light, space and storage, this lovely four-bedroom, study plus ensuite family home enjoys a warm spirit and a wonderful spatial balance. A sensitive re-jig has added warm detailing, honouring the homes clean mid-century lines. The garden is a blessing of bright flowering trees, attracting birds and gifting an organic peaceful immersion.

Sitting low behind a lush enclosure, the home bashfully hides its classic form of brick, timber panels and combo of ribbon and casement corner windows. Murchison is a quiet loop street close to schools and the local Kaleen shops. A mix of Eucalypts shade the footpaths and it's an easy stroll through connecting green spaces to the local park.

Read the full description

Bespoke joinery, including warm Tassie oak open shelving, surrounds a stunning blue granite mantel and ethanol fireplace within the cosy living area. Think beautifully curated displays of books and treasures adding to a calming, intimate atmosphere. This mature space is all about elegant repose as the kids enjoy a movie or play within the adjacent family room.

Enjoy evening gatherings with friends as the kids sleep quietly at the other end of the house, away from the activity.

Bankable sliders further privatise the combined living and dining and usher to the enormous kitchen and second living area. This warm and functional family hub is characterised by banks of storage, a central island with seating, and large window above the double sink, welcoming both light and vista. There is enough space here for the kids to play adjacent or get involved with cooking, fostering family togetherness and relaxed mealtimes.

A blush of pink and blue pastels saturates two of the bedrooms with a soft, playful ambience, while floor to ceiling windows capture all the colours of the garden. A third bedroom or home office sits adjacent to the family bathroom with tub and separate toilet.

The master is housed privately at the end of the hallway with a fresh splash of Eucalypt green that reflects the botanical surrounds. There is a walk-through-robe to keep the clutter at bay and a lovely modern ensuite bathroom. There is also a walk-in-office which could easily be utilised as a nursery or become a spacious dressing room/robe, creating space for a larger, luxurious ensuite.

Roses, apple tree, crepe myrtle and petunias revolve with colour throughout the seasons within the sunny family garden. It is easy to imagine long weekend lunches beneath the outdoor shelter, draped in age-old purple flowering wisteria, the kids playing on the soft lawn as the sun fades. A quaint garden studio sits in one corner, fitted with warm carpet and ethanol fireplace to keep things snug in winter, so you can be creative all year round.

Kaleen is in the Belconnen district and shoulders the inner north suburbs of Lyneham and O'Connor, connecting to Gungaderra Grasslands Nature Reserve. This central, inner locale makes Kaleen a highly coveted suburb - close to transport, great schools, the UC, CIT, AIS and Canberra Stadium. With plenty of parks, bike and walking trails, the home is also within walking distance to Kaleen Plaza, and just a short 10-minute drive to Belconnen and 14 minutes approx. to the CBD.
