Given the $1,195,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,195,000(Listing record · 26 Mar 2026)
  • CalculationLand 250,905 m² against a 249 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

0 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

    Unknown

    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.

  • 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.

'Newhaven' - Your Luxury Retreat

Some homes reveal themselves slowly, through the quiet of their setting, the quality of their light, and the feeling that you have arrived somewhere truly special. Set high above the southern coastline on approximately 62 acres (25.13ha) of private pasture and bush, this remarkable Dover property offers a rare combination of architectural grace, natural beauty, and a feeling of complete seclusion. From its elevated position, the views unfold in every direction to the waters of Port Esperance Bay and westward to the dramatic silhouettes of Adamsons Peak and the Hartz Ranges. Reached by a well-maintained driveway that winds gently through native bushland, the sense of arrival is both calming and inspiring. Designed to sit lightly within its landscape, this elegant, artistic home invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel entirely at peace.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained, the 249m² residence balances architectural interest with practical living. Inside you are greeted by soaring ceilings, warm Tasmanian Oak timber floors, and expansive floor-to-ceiling uPVC double glazing that draws the surrounding landscape into every room. At the heart of the home sits the central living pavilion; a generous open plan space where kitchen, dining and living areas come together beneath a striking curved ceiling. Here, wide picture windows frame the ever-changing views, filling the home with natural light throughout every season.

Extending from the central living space are two additional wings connected by wide sunlit walkways with extensive built-in storage. To the west, the private retreat includes a spacious study, a third bathroom, and the main bedroom complete with its own ensuite. To the east, a flexible guest wing currently provides two double bedrooms, a laundry, and convenient access to a separate bathroom and toilet. Each bathroom features a beautiful glass window, creating a unique connection to the surrounding bushland and natural light.

Read the full description

The home has been carefully designed for flexibility, with large sliding panels allowing spaces to evolve and adapt to changing needs. Every room opens outward to generous decks, offering private outdoor spaces where the views can be enjoyed from morning through to evening. Comfort is assured year-round with a wood fired 'bakers oven' heater, supported by hydronic heating for winter warmth, and 2 reverse-cycle air conditioners. Clever tilting doors allow natural cross-ventilation in summer meaning air-conditioning is simply unnecessary, but there if you need it. Solar panels, efficient 12-volt LED lighting, and abundant rainwater storage help keep running costs low while supporting a sustainable way of living.

Surrounding the home, the land itself is just as captivating. The house sits within a thoughtfully maintained, wallaby-proofed garden designed for easy care, with a practical loop driveway providing convenient access directly to the entrance. Beyond the immediate garden, the wider property unfolds across 62 acres of bushland, open spaces, and natural beauty waiting to be explored. A substantial 7.5m x 9m garage offers ample space for vehicles while also serving easily as a workshop, farm shed, or creative studio. Well-maintained fencing defines the property, and several dams provide additional water security, complementing the generous rainwater storage and bushfire sprinkler system already installed for peace of mind.

The ecologically rich land provides habitat for an extraordinary range of native wildlife including Southern Barred Bandicoots, wombats, echidnas, platypus, quolls and glider possums. Wedgetail eagles are often seen soaring above, and the area also supports breeding habitat for the endangered bittern. The current owners have taken great care to protect and nurture this natural environment, ensuring the landscape continues to thrive for generations to come.

Located just minutes from the coastal township of Dover, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy and connection. Dover is known for its welcoming community, relaxed coastal charm, and stunning southern Tasmanian landscapes. Here, life moves at a gentler pace, where fishing boats drift across the bay, local cafés offer warm hospitality, and the beauty of the Huon Valley surrounds you at every turn. From your doorstep, you are within easy reach of pristine beaches, national parks, and the many walking trails that make this part of Tasmania so special. Yet at the end of each day, you return to your own private sanctuary above it all; a place where views stretch to the horizon and the rhythm of nature sets the tone for everyday living. Properties like this are truly rare. A home of architectural elegance, a landscape rich with life, and a setting that captures the very essence of southern Tasmania.
