Given the $580,600 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $580,600(Listing record · 12 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 807 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationAsk is 31% above the Macleay Island median recorded sale ($442,000, n=181, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Macleay Island's advertised median rent ($464/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.16% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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.

Capital growth

QLD

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $464/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 4.2%. 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

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

The Yurt | A Rare Island Sanctuary

There are homes... and then there are experiences.

Welcome to one of Macleay Island's most extraordinary residences—a fully council-approved yurt that redefines island living. Nestled on a generous 807m² allotment and surrounded by nature, this remarkable property offers an unforgettable lifestyle, whether you're searching for a private retreat, an inspiring family home, or an exceptional Airbnb investment.

Designed to embrace natural light, fresh breezes and the beauty of its surroundings, this is the not-so-tiny house that delivers an elevated way of living. Warm, welcoming and filled with character, every space has been thoughtfully created to connect you with nature while offering modern comfort.

Read the full description

Floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows bathe the home in sunlight, framing leafy outlooks, abundant birdlife and glimpses of the water beyond. The enchanting loft retreat features a skylight where you can fall asleep beneath the stars, watch the moon rise, and wake to birds soaring overhead—an experience few homes can offer.

Craftsmanship is evident throughout. Bespoke 50mm live-edge camphor slab benchtops, handcrafted by an Italian-trained woodworker, create a stunning focal point, while a cast iron fireplace brings warmth and ambience during winter. A solar-assisted 3kW reverse-cycle air conditioner ensures year-round comfort.

The flexible floorplan includes an upstairs Mezzanine, downstairs bedroom zone with home cinema, study nook, dedicated tea ceremony space and a beautifully engineered alternating-tread staircase leading to the magical loft.

Step outside and the lifestyle continues.

Relax on the expansive wraparound deck, gather around the firepit beneath a canopy of stars, enjoy morning yoga in the outdoor studio, or unwind in your own gym and sauna. Mature shade trees create peaceful garden rooms, while the home's position towards the rear of the block provides exceptional privacy and plenty of room to grow fruit, vegetables or simply enjoy the open space.

Adding to its uniqueness, the property adjoins two protected native conservation reserves, ensuring your tranquil green outlook will remain untouched. Located in a quiet no-through street where neighbours still know one another and children play safely outdoors, this is island living at its very best.

For those seeking an income-producing lifestyle property, The Yurt also presents an outstanding opportunity as boutique accommodation. Fully approved by council, its distinctive architecture and unforgettable guest experience make it ideally suited to the growing demand for unique short-stay accommodation.

Convenience perfectly complements the peaceful setting. Stroll to the waterfront, launch a kayak just a few houses away, or wander to a secluded beach within minutes. Cafés, the farmers market, health food store, fish and chip shop, pet supplies, Art Centre, Bowls Club and everyday essentials are all within easy walking distance.

Macleay Island continues to flourish, offering the perfect balance of relaxed coastal living and modern convenience. Regular passenger and vehicle ferries provide an easy commute to the mainland, while residents enjoy shopping, cafés, restaurants, medical facilities, a primary school, library, arts precinct, bowls club, golf club, markets and an active community—all surrounded by the spectacular waters of Southern Moreton Bay.

Whether you're watching the stars through the loft skylight, sharing stories around the firepit, or enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature from the deck, Starry Night is far more than a home.

It's a destination.

It's a lifestyle.

It's an experience you'll never want to leave.
