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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Based on the low end of the asking range, not a contract price.
No rent is recorded for this listing. Enter a weekly rent to model yield.
Enter a purchase price and weekly rent to calculate yield.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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 and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.
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 Team Real EstateThis rare find features standout characteristics and exceptional charm, situated on a spacious block. The home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, and a double garage. You will be amazed from the moment you step inside through the original large double doors of this thoughtfully restored church building, which includes a spacious extension set on a 2429m² allotment. This unique residence boasts soaring timber-lined ceilings, stunning leadlight arched Gothic windows, and polished timber floors.
The main bedroom is located upstairs, overlooking the original church features and complete with a modern ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in robe. The two additional bedrooms are situated in the original part of the house, each featuring original stained-glass windows and ceiling fans—both with built-in robes—and there is also a separate toilet and powder room.
The hallway seamlessly leads to a later addition that includes either a fourth bedroom or an office, along with a light-filled second living area with doors that open to the garden. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, ample pantry space, and good bench space, with direct access to the huge double-door automatic garage.
Honoring the church's original charm was a priority for the owner, who embraced this style in the open-plan living space that occupies much of the building, offering a unique lifestyle.
If you are looking to make a tree change, this property is perfect as a family home, a weekend retreat, or a rental property on short-term letting platforms like Airbnb. The attractive bush setting offers peace and quiet with established trees, a gazebo for entertaining, and a fully fenced yard, making it safe for children and pets. There is plenty of room for a shed, a pool, and machinery (subject to council approval). You can enjoy the best of both worlds, with wildlife at your doorstep and proximity to Bendigo—just 20 minutes from Eaglehawk, where you'll find all necessary amenities, and approximately 25 minutes from Bendigo via all sealed roads.
Raywood is a growing community with a local post office, a hotel offering great meals, a primary school, and a school bus to Bendigo conveniently located at the end of the street. The new railway station provides a bonus for public transport, along with a service station and police station. Recent upgrades to the recreational reserve include a new netball court and a football oval.
This home must be seen to truly appreciate its unique qualities.
