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

Why this property?

  • CalculationRecorded House sales in South Hobart (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,425/m² of land (n=82). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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

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?

Confidence: low

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.

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.

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

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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.

Historic elegance meets modern sophistication in South Hobart

Nestled 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.

Read the full description

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.
