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.

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, bushfire and heritage

Not retrieved

Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.

Heritage

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 30 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Capital growth

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 531 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. 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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $600/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. 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.

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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.

Detail

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 531 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.

Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.

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.

4 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 531 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    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

    Knownmedium

    No development applications were returned for this parcel. That is not a statement about nearby lots.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Private Bushland Setting | Flexible 4th Bedroom | Resort-Style Entertaining

Tucked away at the quiet end of a no-through road, this beautifully presented home is where easy modern living meets a genuinely private bushland setting.

Nearly eight years old, the home has been designed with separation and flexibility in mind, making it equally appealing to young families, downsizers wanting extra space, or buyers looking for a home that can adapt as their needs change.

The standout feature is the versatility of the floorplan. Alongside three generous bedrooms, a separate theatre room provides an ideal second living zone, or the flexibility to create a fourth bedroom, home office or guest retreat.

Read the full description

At the centre of the home, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area creates an effortless hub for everyday life. Glass sliders open onto the alfresco entertaining area, extending the living space outdoors and creating a seamless connection to the private rear yard.

And then there's the part you'll really appreciate on weekends.

A swim-spa (included with the property) takes centre stage outdoors, complemented by a cabana-style entertaining area and peaceful bushland surrounds. Whether it's relaxing after work, entertaining friends or keeping the kids occupied, this is a backyard designed to be enjoyed.

The generous block also gives you room to make the property your own, with potential for additional landscaping, a veggie garden or, subject to council approval, a future pool.

- Quiet no-through-road position backing onto a peaceful bushland setting

- Contemporary home approximately eight years old

- Three generous bedrooms plus separate theatre/flexible fourth bedroom

- Two modern bathrooms

- Spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining

- Seamless indoor-outdoor flow to private alfresco entertaining

- Swim-spa and cabana-style entertaining area

- Generous block with scope for further landscaping or future improvements (STCA)

- Excellent option for families, couples or buyers seeking flexible living space

- Convenient access to the M1, Morisset, Central Coast and Hunter Valley

- Close to Avondale School and local amenities

- Moments from the natural beauty of Watagan National Park

If you've been searching for a home that offers more than a standard three-bedroom floorplan, with the privacy of a bushland setting and an outdoor entertaining space you'll actually use, this one deserves a closer look.

We have obtained all information used in the preparation of this document from third party sources however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or currency of this information.
