Given the $1,580,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,580,000(Listing record · 28 May 2026)
  • CalculationLand 1,808 m² against a 393 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationAsk is 108% above the Bushland Beach median recorded sale ($760,000, n=60, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Bushland Beach's advertised median rent ($635/wk), implied gross yield would be 2.09% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario 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.

Capital growth

QLD

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 $635/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 2.1%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Commanding an elevated position high above the coastline on an extraordinary 1,808sqm allotment, this iconic Troppo Architects residence is one of Bushland Beach's most recognised homes.

Bold, refined and unforgettable, the home blends exposed concrete blockwork, steel detailing and richly textured timber to create a striking coastal statement. Featured on Channel 9's Dream Homes Australia in 2024, it delivers architectural presence with warmth, liveability and sweeping ocean views from both levels.

Set well back from the street and framed by lush established gardens, the home unfolds across two beautifully considered levels. Upstairs, a statement timber entry opens to an elegant sitting room, four well appointed bedrooms, and a stunning master retreat with full height glazing, a walk in dressing room and a designer ensuite. A luxurious family bathroom and separate powder room complete this level, while timber look vinyl flooring adds warmth throughout.

Downstairs, the home opens into a breathtaking living and dining pavilion with soaring 4.5 metre ceilings and uninterrupted blue water views. The kitchen is a true centrepiece, showcasing recycled chestnut timber salvaged from a 1910s New South Wales butter factory, beautifully integrated into the staircase, joinery and bespoke lighting. Premium finishes include a 900mm SMEG gas cooker, Santorini black sink, expansive Cosentino Silestone island, concealed timber cabinetry and bold black accents.

Walls of glass connect the interior to an expansive entertaining terrace overlooking the 6 x 4m magnesium pool, with the ocean horizon providing a spectacular backdrop. The tiered and fully irrigated grounds are both functional and beautifully landscaped, with a generous lower lawn for children and tropical gardens that create privacy and calm.

This is a home of rare architectural significance and lasting emotional impact. A true lifestyle property where exceptional design meets the beauty of coastal living.
