Given the $1,295,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,295,000(Listing record · 17 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 19,061 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Northern Territory schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Rental yield

No rent is recorded for this listing. Enter a weekly rent to model yield.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

Capital growth

NT

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

NT bulk cadastre is not an open commercial product. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 19,061 m² — that is not official geometry. 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?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. No comparable official bond series. Listing figures only, labelled low confidence.

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.

Listing material

Listed by LJ Hooker Alice Springs

Prime Rural Retreat

Set against the natural beauty of the Todd River Reserve and enjoying direct Ross Highway frontage, Lot 5557 presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a substantial 1.91-hectare rural retreat within easy reach of town.

Designed for those seeking space, privacy and an enviable rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience, this remarkable property offers an impressive five-bedroom, three-bathroom architecturally designed residence, thoughtfully refurbished and extended in 2008. Positioned towards the southern end of the allotment, the home takes full advantage of its elevated position, with expansive outlooks across the adjoining Todd River Reserve and beautifully maintained grounds.

Inside, the generous floor plan unfolds across two levels, interconnected with a solid pine staircase and a study nook. With soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light the lower level projects a wonderful sense of space and openness. The expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas form the heart of the home, while a separate family room provides additional space for relaxed family living. The upper level accommodates the remaining bedrooms, a third bathroom and playroom while the elevated deck provides the perfect vantage point to take in the peaceful rural surrounds and overlook the sparkling freeform inground pool below.

Read the full description

The ground-floor main bedroom is a particularly luxurious retreat, complete with ensuite, walk-in robe, timber flooring and a beautiful corner window spa bath. Positioned to capture views across the manicured grounds, it is a space designed for relaxation and indulgence.

Throughout the home, generous proportions, soaring ceilings and expansive windows frame those enduring views, bringing the surrounding landscape into the living spaces and creating a home that feels both connected to nature and wonderfully private.

Beyond the main residence, the property continues to impress with an array of versatile improvements. A fully self-contained caretaker's residence offers ideal accommodation for guests, extended family or a range of other lifestyle and business requirements. There is also an impressive 84sqm powered shed, together with a substantial office building featuring vinyl plank flooring, kitchen sink and a front glass sliding door.

Vehicle accommodation is equally well catered for, with two high-gable double carports and an additional single carport positioned near the front of the property. A large shade-cloth canopied area remains from the property's former Garden Nursery days, adding another layer of character and potential to this already distinctive holding.

With 1.91 hectares of land, established grounds, substantial shedding, flexible accommodation and the rare advantage of bordering the Todd River Reserve, this is far more than simply a home. It is a private rural lifestyle holding with the space and infrastructure to accommodate family life, guests, hobbies, business pursuits and future aspirations.

A truly special property in a tightly held location, Lot 5557 Ross Highway offers the rare combination of rural tranquillity, generous scale and close-to-town convenience. A property of this calibre and versatility deserves to be inspected.
