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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $915,000 (17 Apr 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,334 m² against a 18 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Upper Ferntree Gully (last 5 years) with land size: median $796/m² of land (n=134). 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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $589/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. 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.

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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Stunning Views, Entertaining Space and a Bonus Studio on 1/3 Acre

Positioned to soak up glorious northern sunshine on a generous 1,334m² (approx.) allotment, this beautifully balanced Upper Ferntree Gully home blends warmth, space and effortless indoor-outdoor living with a distinctly hills backdrop. Elevated to capture sweeping views across Upper Ferntree Gully toward the Dandenong Ranges National Park, it’s the kind of setting that quietly shifts your daily rhythm - slower mornings, longer conversations, and plenty of moments simply watching the light change.

Step inside and the home immediately feels welcoming. Polished timber floors bring warmth underfoot through the kitchen and living zones, while thoughtful updates ensure everyday comfort. The kitchen sits confidently at the centre of things with timber-topped benches, farmhouse sink, 900mm gas cooker, step-in pantry and island bench already for everything from weekday dinners to lively weekend entertaining. Dual-aspect windows draw in light and those leafy outlooks, making even the washing-up feel mildly therapeutic.

A generous lounge anchored by a modern wood heater flows into a sunroom/meals zone where glass doors open to the wraparound verandah. It’s a perfect perch for morning coffees, sunset watching or simply letting fresh air drift through. French doors from the foyer reveal a huge covered alfresco area that genuinely extends the living footprint - think barbecues that roll into late evenings, birthday celebrations without weather worries, or quiet nights under ambient festoon lighting.

Read the full description

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged. The privately positioned master suite enjoys its own wing, complete with polished floors, high ceilings, walk-in robe and a stylish renovated ensuite with double shower. Two additional bedrooms are serviced by an equally refreshed family bathroom featuring a deep soak tub for end-of-day unwinding.

Beyond the house, lifestyle flexibility continues. A separate powered studio offers an ideal home office, creative retreat or teen escape. There’s attic storage, under-house space, solar panels, ducted heating, split system comfort and fans for year-round practicality. Double gates lead to a substantial double lock-up garage, while a stone pathway creates a charming arrival moment at the front.

Best of all, this peaceful pocket keeps convenience within easy reach. Walk to the station, cafés, shops, Angliss Hospital, parklands, schools and the iconic 1000 Steps - a rare balance of lifestyle, outlook and location.
