Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
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.

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: Western Australia schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Margaret River's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 501 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $719/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 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 2.5%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Listed by The Agency PerthFINAL OFFERS CLOSING AT 5PM ON 31 AUGUST 2026.
PRIVATE INSPECTIONS WELCOME, PLEASE CONTACT AGENT
Set amongst towering gum trees, this large, two-storey, architecturally designed home is a superb private residence and successful short stay accommodation business in one and is ideally positioned within walking distance to town and the river (but you'll feel like you're a world away).
Artistically decorated with pops of colour and a modern-bohemian-chic aesthetic, the home is airy and light-filled, with expansive glazing and bi-fold doors that open seamlessly onto surrounding decks creating a breezy, treetop living experience immersed in nature.
Originally designed and built in 2008 by a local architect as her own residence, and thoughtfully expanded in 2018 under her guidance, the home has recently been reconfigured to create a comfortable private residential apartment and a spacious guest accommodation wing. Listed on Airbnb as "La Boheme in the Treetops", the current owners operate a successful hosted short stay accommodation business and consistently receive 5-star guest reviews.
While this property sits outside the AMR Shire's Short Stay Zone, it is eligible for “Hosted” short stay accommodation, which means the owner must reside in the dwelling. Hosted is the updated terminology formerly used to describe "Bed and Breakfast". As with all short stay accommodation, owners must register their properties on the State Government STRA Register.
The self-contained owners' retreat includes the second-floor main bedroom, ensuite, kitchen, second bedroom / living, third bedroom / office, lounge with bar - offering comfort, privacy and flexibility for permanent living.
The guest wing comprises the main kitchen, dining and living area, two bedrooms, bathroom and the expansive alfresco entertaining area that includes an outdoor bath and shower, fire pit, Balinese-style gazebo, fishpond and beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens.
The entire home offers four dedicated bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, multiple living zones in a flexible and dynamic layout that would similarly appeal to large families as to investors.
Set high on a 501sqm strata-titled block adjoining forested Public Open Space, the property enjoys an enhanced sense of space and tranquility. Barrett Weir, a popular swimming spot on the river, is just across the road and serves as a gateway to an extensive network of forest walking trails, placing nature quite literally at your doorstep.
This property presents an exceptional lifestyle and immediate income-earning opportunity for the savvy buyer. Contact Jo Thierfelder at The Agency on 0421 589 548.
