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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,250,000 (16 Mar 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 17,300 m² against a 195 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in St Helens (last 5 years) with land size: median $528/m² of land (n=51). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.
  • FactZoned Utilities (101.26) under the Break O'Day Local Provisions Schedule.(theLIST · 31 Aug 2026)

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. 1No 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

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Utilities · 101.26 (Break O'Day Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 17,323 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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 $409/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. 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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Utilities · 101.26 (Break O'Day Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 17,323 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

    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. 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 17,323 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

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    No DA adapter returned applications 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.

Perched above the bay, you have an eagle eye view of the water, the oyster punts plying the bay and the birds ducking and diving. Just 3 minutes to the heart of St Helens and then Binalong Bay to the east, the location of this master home is perfect for those wishing to be close to the Bay of Fires as well as the facilities of the East Coast's largest town and retail centre. And all whilst retaining privacy and enjoying the space on over 4.27 acres.

The unique design features a 'west wing' with two large bedrooms, both with built in robes, a fabulous bathroom and separate laundry. Whilst on the eastern side of the home, the master suite is a wing all of it's own, with wide views, ensuite bathroom, walk in robe and sliding door to the verandah. Spacious living is evident throughout the entire home.

With the kitchen, living and dining enjoying open plan living, the home is easily heated by a near new pellet heater along with a reverse cycle air conditioner. The kitchen has fabulous bench and pantry space as well as quality appliances and a great view!

If you can take yourself away from the view, there's so much value added outside. With a large covered verandah, easy care gardens, good fencing and of course a very enviable workshop, double garage and a studio unit. The additional value these bring cannot be underestimated. The workshop/boat shed alone is near industrial in size with concrete floor and power.

With the studio unit being sold furnished, it's ideal for visitors, short term accommodation or permanent tenancy. Currently let on a weekly basis, the studio unit also enjoys incredible views, independant access from the home and a delightful sun filled deck. Complete with kitchenette, built in robes, bathroom and open plan living/sleeping it's a great addition to your investment.

Properties with such unique features are rare and views like this are second to none and therefore I encourage you to view in person! Our 3D floor plan tour will give you an exceptional perspective of the home, view and surrounds - as will the virtual walk through tour in a real time perspective. Don't miss your chance to own this piece of paradise!
