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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $3,500,000 (7 July 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 20,270 m² against a 703 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Lauderdale (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,173/m² of land (n=60). 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 $609/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.

Picturesque and Panoramic: Prized 2.03ha Ralph's Bay Estate

Basking in the views of crystal clear waters, expansive blue skies and lush rolling greenery, surrender to the spell of this enchanting sanctuary where a life well lived is waiting for you.

Perched on a 2.03ha prized waterfront estate that meanders down to the shores of beautiful Ralphs' Bay, this property is a rare find. Nestled in serenity and seclusion and set back from the street for your enhanced privacy, a circular driveway and porte-cochere heralds your arrival at this sprawling 703m2 residence. Warm and welcoming, uninterrupted water vistas from almost every angle await. Full height glass windows throughout perfectly capture these mesmerising panoramas, where you could easily lose a day immersed in the hypnotic rhythm of the water and coastal breezes which caress it.

Revel in the airy and open plan living and dining zone or retreat to an adjoining games room tucked beneath an ornate ceiling. A perfectly placed kitchen with quality European appliances offers the freedom to prep meals and be part of the action in this central, social hub, with the solid granite breakfast bar the ideal place to share casual dinners or swap tales about your day with loved ones. The elevated alfresco terrace is another treat to indulge in meals together. Whether it's a lazy Sunday brunch or evening gathering under the twinkling stars, this is a glorious setting to wine and dine in - from here you'll even witness occasional visits from pods of Dolphins playing in the bay just meters away.

Read the full description

The luxury of space continues with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, including a master suite where you will wake to the brilliance of Ralph's Bay. Dual walk-in robes and a balcony accompany it, with two additional utility rooms and a bathroom on this wing. Upstairs hosts three more bedrooms and a bathroom, with two extra bedrooms downstairs, along with a bathroom, assuring you of a surplus of space for large or multi-generational families. Guests get first-class treatment too, with self-contained quarters downstairs. Draped against the idyllic outlook of Ralph's Bay, it includes a bedroom, bathroom/laundry, kitchen and living zone.

Savour the sense of resort-style living on the lower level, where a supersized pool and gym offer an outlet for exercise or fun. Enclosed for your year-round comfort, floor to ceiling windows and doors ensure you lose nothing of the natural beauty outdoors. Landscaped grounds compliment your almost 100m of uninterrupted waterfrontage as well, where the young (and young-at-heart) can rediscover the delights of alfresco adventures from sunrise until sunset.

Tucked away in a tranquil and exclusive enclave, it's just a short drive to Lauderdale Beach and a host of private and public schools. Grab your essentials and extras at Shoreline Shopping Centre, an 8-minute drive away, or if travel beckons, the airport is approx. 10 minutes by car. A plethora of dining options and shopping exist in the CBD of Hobart which is just a 17-minute drive away.
