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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $645,000 (17 Feb 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 901 m² against a 102 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Longford (last 5 years) with land size: median $734/m² of land (n=90). 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.

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.

Capital growth

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. 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?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $492/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. 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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

A Timeless Cottage Where History and Garden Living Unite

From the moment you step through the gate, this remarkable Longford home invites you into a story that has been unfolding for generations. Originally established in the mid-1800s, the property began life as a modest cottage during the township's early days, quietly witnessing the growth of Longford around it. Over time, it has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully evolved, retaining the charm and craftsmanship of its origins while embracing the comforts expected of modern living. There is a sense of warmth and authenticity here, a home that feels grounded, lived in and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Inside, period character is immediately evident and beautifully preserved. Original timber floorboards, open fireplaces and classic proportions set the tone, creating interiors that feel both welcoming and timeless. The living spaces offer a comfortable and relaxed ambiance, ideal for everyday living or quiet evenings by the fire. Three bedrooms are well positioned within the home and are serviced by a central bathroom, maintaining a practical and functional layout that suits a range of lifestyles. A separate living area provides additional flexibility and is fitted with a reverse cycle air conditioning system, ensuring year-round comfort without compromising the home's character.

The country-style kitchen forms the heart of the home, blending charm with functionality. Featuring a farmhouse sink, beautiful tapware and quality appliances, the space has been designed for both cooking and connection. Generous storage, including a walk-in pantry, supports day-to-day living and entertaining, while the outlook to the garden reinforces the strong relationship between the home and its outdoor setting.

Read the full description

Step outside and the gardens take centre stage, revealing themselves as a collection of outdoor rooms, each with its own mood and purpose. From the deck, which overlooks the grounds and provides an ideal space for entertaining or quiet reflection, the garden unfolds gradually as you wander through it. One area feels like an outdoor lounge, sheltered and serene, another bursts with colour and seasonal planting, while further pockets invite you to sit, pause and simply enjoy the sense of tranquility. The thoughtful layout creates moments of surprise and calm at every turn, making the garden as much a part of daily life as the home itself. A well-established vegetable patch offers the opportunity to enjoy home-grown produce, continuing the property's long-standing connection to self-sufficiency and care for the land.

Practicality is also well catered for, with a large carport providing ample space for vehicles, caravans or additional storage, complemented by further storage sheds to accommodate tools, equipment or hobbies.

All of this is set just minutes from Longford's shops, including the popular Hill Street Grocer, along with local schools and essential amenities. This is a property that offers far more than a home; it delivers a lifestyle enriched by history, nurtured gardens and the ease of living within a welcoming and well-established community.
