No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
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
VICPlanning 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $578/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.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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.

Listing material
Listed by Barry Plant EmeraldDiscover a home that offers comfort, character and privacy. Set on a north-facing slope on Elm Crescent, near the old Emerald heritage golf course, this property enjoys abundant natural light and sweeping views over the Yarra Valley toward the Warburton Ranges. The area has long been admired for its European spring and autumn foliage, making it a favourite getaway for city dwellers since the early 1900s.
The house is set back from the street, surrounded by established trees and gardens that enhance its privacy. A driveway leads up to the residence, where you'll find a mix of timber and stone on the exterior, gabled rooflines and a welcoming covered porch, creating a look that blends Alpine and cottage influences.
A north-facing front deck greets visitors and provides a pleasant spot to relax outdoors. The landscaped front garden adds to the appeal of this space.
Inside, the two-storey floor plan provides both comfort and practicality. Downstairs, the open-plan living and dining area flows into a cosy lounge. The kitchen is compact yet functional, and there is a downstairs powder room combined with laundry facilities.
Upstairs, the home includes four bedrooms: the main bedroom with en-suite, a double bedroom that accommodates a queen bed, a smaller bedroom suitable for a nursery, guest room or study, and a larger bedroom that can serve as a playroom or hangout. Three of these rooms open onto a north-facing balcony, offering natural light and views.
At the rear, the backyard is a gently sloping space of about 1000 m²-ideal for budding gardeners, families and pets. On the side of the home, a covered area features an outdoor kitchen, making outdoor cooking and entertaining straightforward without encroaching on the yard. Between the rear yard, the north-facing deck, and the side entertaining area, there are multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy.
This home will suit buyers seeking charm, space, and privacy in a location surrounded by natural beauty. It's ready for a new owner to move in and enjoy life in the hills.
