Districts View
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
TASPlanning 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $545/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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 Peterswald for PropertyNestled within luxuriant surrounds and historic homesteads of South Hobart while capturing majestic views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington sits an iconic, stately residence of grand proportions that is truly in a class of its own.
Constructed in 1911 by famous Tasmanian Sir Henry Jones as a wedding gift for his daughter Amelia, the property seamlessly blends old-world opulence with contemporary living. Steeped in history, the residence was once the childhood home of Hollywood actor Errol Flynn. Classic, restored features meld with architecturally designed additions, implemented to retain the utmost integrity.
Original characteristics remain, with superb stained-glass windows, ornate fireplaces, delicate fretwork, archways, soaring high ceilings, and a central, intricately crafted timber staircase. These, and many other charming features, now meld with modern-day fittings and fixtures of the highest standard, with no expense spared to allow attributes of both centuries the home has occupied, old and new, to shine through.
Extensive, tasteful renovations have been carried out to create a light-filled, spacious, and inviting family home, fitted with every modern convenience. Open-plan living, with under-floor heating, is encased by floor-to-ceiling glazing at the rear of the home, overlooking the landscaped grounds. Electric, remote-controlled blinds retain warmth within the glass atrium.
The sophisticated living space incorporates dining, and the state-of-the-art kitchen, boasting premium European appliances, a walk-through pantry, abundant storage, and a stylish sliding frosted glass splashback. The ultimate entertaining house, a climate-controlled cellar with independent cooling system is within easy reach of the inspired culinary space.
Continuing through the expansive ground floor, a formal dining room or fifth bedroom branches from the wide hallway, and a sumptuous formal lounge occupies the front of the home. Two of the home's numerous bedrooms are located on the lower level, both with built-in wardrobes. Ideal for a guest's retreat, the largest of the two contains a lavish en-suite.
Elegant, modern style flows throughout each of the bathrooms, of which there are four in total, two on each floor.
Ascending the impressive staircase, where original Luke Wagner artwork presides, further luxurious accommodation is found. The master bedroom boasts magnificent mountain views and an abundance of sunshine through double-glazed windows, and contains built-in and walk-in wardrobes, and an en-suite. The second, generous bedroom features built-ins, and an ornamental fireplace with mantle.
A glorious sunroom bathes in natural light, overlooking the leafy streetscape and captivating mountain peaks, and a north-facing home office also captures plentiful sun at the opposite end of the storey. Completing the upstairs floorplan, the bathroom features a free-standing bathtub, walk-in shower, and a frosted glass-topped vanity, with ample storage, and a separate toilet.
Returning downstairs, a striking lightning-bolt shaped skylight above the innovative living and dining space adds yet another unique touch to the remarkably designed home. Glass sliding doors extend to the outdoor entertaining area, perfect for hosting family and friends within the secluded urban oasis with established trees, manicured hedges, luscious green lawn, and extensive decking with bench seating.
Transformations throughout provide the epitome of futureproofed comfort, with LED downlights across both levels, privacy window film, and a combination of wooden plantation shutters, block out curtains, and honeycomb blinds. Year-round comfort is provided by electric panel heating in each room of the house, along with reverse-cycle air and under-floor heating within the living area.
A multi-zone security alarm system, operational by remote control, smartphone app and LCD touchscreens, along with an Amplimesh security screen on the front door, and wrought iron electric sliding gates with video intercom ensure complete security.
Externally, further improvements have been made, including a new heritage council certified French terracotta-tiled roof, new fencing, electric outdoor and garden lighting, new paving and landscaping with an automated irrigation system, and new bitumen throughout the driveway. In 2017, the entire home was re-painted both inside and out. The front fence has been reconstructed utilising old bricks to comply with heritage requirements.
Adding to its appeal that already exceeds expectation, the residence is within close proximity to prestigious schooling, and UTAS, along with cafes, restaurants, and amenities of the South Hobart district, and within walking distance of Hobart's CBD.
The exquisitely constructed home of exceptional quality, with the addition of architecturally designed excellence, allows this remarkable property of generous dimensions and refined elegance to provide an enviable lifestyle, within historic, exclusive surrounds.
