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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $800,000 (19 Jan 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 855 m² against a 157 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Blackmans Bay (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,195/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 $594/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.

Rare Dual-Street 855 m² Family Retreat with River & Mountain Views

Positioned in the charming coastal enclave of Blackmans Bay, only 400 metres from the beach, this is a rare opportunity to secure a solid family home on a generous 855 m² block. Zoned General Residential, with two-street frontage, this home invites both comfortable living now and future development potential (subject to council approval).

Built in 1959, this four-bedroom residence exudes character and family-friendly proportions. Situated on a corner, the north and east-facing orientations ensure sunlight fills the living spaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.

Step inside via the wide hallway, complete with built-in cupboards and generous storage, and you'll immediately notice the bright, airy living areas. Large windows capture stunning water views from the front bedroom and main living room, while majestic vistas of kunyani / Mount Wellington provide a dramatic backdrop. The separate dining and kitchen area, featuring a skylight, walk-in pantry, and double doors opening to the living space, offers an ideal layout for everyday family life and entertaining.

Read the full description

The main bedroom features a private ensuite and built-in double wardrobe, while the family bathroom includes a bathtub for those relaxed Sunday mornings. Also on offer is an internal laundry and a separate toilet for added convenience. Outdoors, the backyard is fully fenced and divided into two distinct zones, a clever design for manageable maintenance and casual outdoor living. Mature trees and established gardens frame views and ensure a sense of privacy. A converted garage offers a versatile studio or multi-purpose space, perfect for a teenager's retreat or work-from-home arrangement.

Practicalities are right on point as the home is NBN-connected, lies within the highly regarded Illawarra Primary School catchment, enjoys a short stroll to the bus stop and shops, and sits just a few metres from nearby Sherburd Park. With only around an 18-minute drive into Hobart, you truly have the best of both worlds, seaside serenity and city convenience.

And then there's the future, the block's dual-street frontage and zoning mean that its development potential should be explored whether expanding the current home or adding a second dwelling (subject to approvals and adherence to council requirements).

Here is a home that rewards with lifestyle, natural light, outlook and sensible living space, while offering real scope for tomorrow. Don't just buy a house, step into a seaside setting where every sunrise heralds opportunity.
