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.

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
SAZoned Productive Rural Landscape · PRuL (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,259 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $505/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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.

Development optionality of this lot
KnownlowZoned Productive Rural Landscape · PRuL (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,259 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 1,259 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
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history
UnknownNo DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by Harris South CoastDelightful 'Duxford Cottage' set in gardens that change with the seasons and capture the essence of a coastal lifestyle.
This Circa 1860 bluestone cottage is steeped in Port Elliot history. The original owner was James Harding and his wife Eliza who arrived in Australia in 1853 from Duxford, Cambridgeshire with their two children. Built in the 1860's, a later addition to the property incorporated a blacksmith shop which was run by their daughter for many years until 1899.
Nestled amongst farming land this fully renovated cottage offers a beautiful relaxing country experience. The house and gardens total land size is 1533sqm approximately on two titles. The main title is 1128sqm approximately and the second title of 405sqm approximately cannot be built on as it enjoys the winter creek, small stone bridge and additional fruit trees.
The home has a welcoming central entrance that leads to a spacious main lounge room which is called the 'winter room' with open fireplace with mantel, period lighting and sash window. Leading from the lounge room are two bedrooms and a study or library which form the original dwelling. In 2011 a spacious new main bathroom was added, complete with euro laundry, deep oval bath, shower and vanity.
The open plan country kitchen was renovated in 2018 at the rear of the residence, with shaker style cupboards, deep sink with quality tapware and 900mm gas oven and cooktop, stunning stone benchtops, pantry and Bosch dishwasher.
The rear extension was built with thought and care using a stone mason to build a long bluestone feature wall that fits a book case, combustion fireplace and master bedroom with modern ensuite on the western side of the home. With modern grey floor tiling that flows to the white concertina French doors to the rear gardens, this space is a special addition that is sensitive to the home's historic character, but brings the modern amenities to allow for a comfortable lifestyle.
Several doors access the meandering gardens that surround the full perimeter of the home providing for cool summers and enjoying the light sea breeze. Relax and outdoor dine under the ash tree, escaping to the garden for all seasons. Feature stone walls, numerous fruit trees, established Mediterranean plants, together with vegetable garden, expansive lawns, old shed and workshop (which was the original smithery), unique glass house plus an original petanque court, complete the landscape.
Other discerning features include single garage with carport, four rainwater tanks totaling 25,000 litres approximately, 1.2 kilowatt solar, upgraded electrical and the house is on rainwater with the garden connected to mains water for easy maintenance during the warmer months.
With rear views over a rural landscape all the way to the sea and an additional garden space to own and explore, this unique property provides a wonderful opportunity to purchase a piece of historical Port Elliot.
