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.

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
TASPlanning 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.
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 $545/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.
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
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.

Why is this cheap?

Listing material
Listed by Harcourts HobartUpon turning into Turnip Fields Road, you will become immediately mesmerised by the private, scenic, and serene nature of this unique valley hamlet, sparsely populated with a handful of beautifully maintained mountain homesteads. Highly sought after, it is so rare to find a location that provides such a secluded mountain lifestyle, yet is still less than 10 minutes from the Hobart city centre.
The entrance to #27 is marked by a wonderful white spotted gum, around which a sealed concrete driveway runs, before creating a full circle around the home. The property encompasses some 1.3 acres, the areas around the house have been skilfully landscaped to include snaking pathways, and cleverly terraced to create usable outdoor spaces. The many quality outbuildings include 2 stables, a cool kids cubby, woodshed and native animal proof vegie plot and/or poultry shed. The land is divided into 4 paddocks, ideal for keeping a small herd of farmyard animals or horses. The property is surrounded by native forest and inhabited by an amazing array of birdlife and native fauna.
The house itself is a mountain chalet style building, set into the natural contours of the land, and orientated to take best advantage of the sun, so important when living in South Hobart.
The interior is underpinned by a split-plan open plan living and dining space, with a smart study nook adjacent. Beautiful timber floors abound, providing access on to a generous, partially covered, wrap around entertaining deck - just a magical space to enjoy the incredible mountain air and valley views.
The family will be well catered for by a generous country kitchen, featuring local hardwood cabinetry and Euro appliances. All three bedrooms incorporate built in robes, whilst a 3rd smaller bedroom could also act as a home office or study.
The family bathroom is bright and practical, with the toilet conveniently located separately.
A lower level utility space features polished concrete floors and has been configured to include an impressive gaming station - talk about a teenager's retreat!! Of course, this level can be utilised in various other ways including home gym or office - loads of potential (STCA).
The property also enjoys the benefit of a single undercover garage that connects internally to the utility zone, and has multiple alternative parking spaces throughout the property.
South Hobart encases a strong sense of community and sustainability and is home to the wonderful Wellington Park, a mecca for bush walkers and mountain bikers alike. Fantastic schools, perfect parks, a short commute to the city, and a thriving SoHo village spirit all make South Hobart one of Hobarts most liveable suburbs.
