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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,025,000 (23 June 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Tea Gardens (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,385/m² of land (n=17). 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

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $639/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Dress circle location

Wake up and look out your window to the Myall River and check the weather. Step into your walking shoes and head off for a morning stroll along the riverfront. It's a 10 minute leisurely stroll to your favourite cafe for your morning coffee - or indulge in a full breakfast overlooking the waterway. If you are up for more of a workout, head across the bridge into Hawks Nest for a swim at the stunning Bennett's Beach and reward yourself on the return walk. This small and exclusive enclave known as Port Stephens St / Sanctuary Close in Tea Gardens is regarded as a dress circle location. Located at the northern end of the riverfront promenade, it affords all it's residents easy walking access to the main attractions of Tea Gardens. You are only a few hundred metres away from hopping on the ferry to Nelson Bay to enjoy a day out on the other side of Port Stephens; or close enough to indulge in dinner and a few drinks at one of the restaurants along Marine Drive with just a short walk to get back home. Homes in this cul-de-sac are tightly held and rarely come to market.

This is a quality home where nothing has been left out. This home is stylishly presented, with neutral wall colours, immaculate flooring (a combination of quality tiles and carpet); & luscious outdoor spaces both front and back. There is a great flow to the home , from the formal entry into the more formal living spaces, continuing through to the expansive informal living space with gorgeous kitchen and access to the rear al fresco dining area which is surrounded by beautifully landscaped and manicured gardens. This informal living area features built in custom cabinetry & shelving, window seats with storage & an entertainment unit; and the windows feature plantation shutters adding a special touch to this room.

The rear garden is fully fenced with the landscaping that includes a meandering path through natives, shrubs & trees. Sitting here you will de-stress, surrounded by low maintenance plants, and clever use of garden features that draw the eye; while a delightful water feature enhances the sense of location next to the waterway. There is an irrigation system in place that makes gardening even easier. The al fresco dining area is north facing, is located off the living area, and boasts a servery from the kitchen. The space is covered by an electric Vergola to control the amount of light and shut out any inclement weather, as well as electric insect screens to use when needed.

As for bedrooms, there are four bedrooms, or 3 bedrooms plus study. The Master bedroom is located on the Myall River side with some water views. This is an expansive space with a picture window for plenty of light with those views over the reserve to the Myall river. An en-suite bathroom and spacious walk-in wardrobe complete this space.

In a separate 'wing' there are two further bedrooms. One offers a built in wardrobe while both will accommodate queen size beds. This is also where we find the family bathroom, which comes with a shower & a corner bathtub, as well as vanity and toilet - ideal for those with small children. Additionally, there is a study with library shelving, that could be used as a fourth bedroom if required.

Finally we have the double garage with internal entry, a storage space/workshop area & a drive through to the back - an attractive feature for those moving to the area with boats and/or caravan. There are loads of extras; from a fully fenced back garden, solar power & hot water, curtains, insect screens throughout, ducted air conditioning with a new system (approx. 12 months old), skylights and lots of storage. This is an awesome combination of quality home and a dress-circle location. Phone us for an exclusive personal viewing.
