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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 6,184 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Aldgate (last 5 years) with land size: median $616/m² of land (n=27). 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

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $706/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

Listing material

Listed by Harris Real Estate Stirling

Out of this world; a wing-spreading home with mid-century inspiration in a fairytale setting.

Painstaking built one mud brick at a time to salute mid-century architecture in a way we haven't seen before, the very home that draws inspiration from all things earthy stands elevated over a botanical setting that is nothing short of otherworldly.

The moment you cross the bridge of the very creek that runs exclusively through this 1.5-acre plot is the moment your troubles seem to float away - replaced by thriving wildlife, weeping trees, secret garden nooks and open spaces that have hosted a wedding with memorable aplomb.

It's simply the perfect setting for this solar-powered four bedroom home that spreads its light-filled wings far and wide to create the perfect viewing platform to the natural magic that unfolds - and changes colour by the season.

Read the full description

From the textured brick walls and terracotta coloured tiled floors to the rich timbers that frame the countless expansive windows and soaring raked ceilings; that earthy beauty lives though the home's varying hues and textures.

Multiple living zones converge at the home's heart, where a granite-topped kitchen makes food the center of every occasion, before every family member finds retreat in their respective wings; one an expansive master bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite.

Step out to the freshly stained deck that hovers over that creek and don't be surprised if ducklings, frogs, the resident tortoise, kangaroos or an inquisitive koala emerge below a home with under-house storage/cellar.

With ducted r/c, a bill-busting 11KW solar system, lightning-fast internet, bore and an extensive automatic watering system that taps into a satellite to read the weather, a home that feels disconnected from the world you know is far, far from it. Paradise. Found.

More to love:

- Beautifully built in the 1980s and immaculately maintained and enhanced

- Recently updated bathrooms, kitchen, carpet, lighting and window furnishings

- Set back from the road, without a neighbour in sight, to create the ultimate sense of escape

- Multiple living zones amongst a very nimble floorplan

- Kitchen with granite benchtops and quality Smeg and Miele appliances

- Double carport and wood/machinery shedding

- Ideally placed on the doorstep of a nature reserve

- A mix of established native and exotic plantings have created a fairytale setting

- 11-station automatic watering system and bore

- Upgraded wifi with 'fibre to the premise' (the fastest possible)

- Loads of storage throughout including under house and cellar

- Just a pause from Aldgate and Stirling village

- No more than 15 minutes from the Tollgate

- And much more.
