Given the $650,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $650,000(Listing record · 27 May 2026)
  • FactLand 14,569 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

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.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

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?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

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.

0 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

    Unknown

    No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

  • 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 Raine & Horne Port Douglas Mossman

Peaceful and Secluded Rainforest Pole Home

My name is Tranquility. I am a beautiful, architecturally designed, Chris Van Dyke pole home. Situated on 3 acres of pristine rainforest in the heart of the world's oldest rainforest, the Daintree.

I am surrounded by majestic towering trees of immense beauty and grandeur, together with my own crystal clear, spring fed rainforest creek which provides pure fresh drinking water when required.

I feature with a wide and generous kitchen space, a magnificent deck overlooking the forest and the creek.

Read the full description

I feature a light and airy open plan lounge and dining area. connecting via exquisite timber framed glass doors to the expansive and beautiful hardwood timber verandah.

My verandah is all weather, fully screened with a large roof overhang, keeps it dry even in the heaviest rain. it faces east and the lush vegetation all around keeps it naturally cooled.

Amazing blue Ulysses butterflies circle the house and even a cassowary passes through the grounds from time to time.

Tropical birds, unusual insects and even fireflies are to be seen.

I have polished timber floors through the house, and the large bathroom is fully tiled.

Even though I am high off the ground, my house access is via an almost level flat ramp from the upper level.

I have a large fully powered shed and covered car parking under the house at the rear.

I have a long concrete driveway leading downhill to the house from the super quiet cul-de-sac Red Gum Road, giving total privacy.

I am totally OFF GRID with a new solar panel array and new top of range lithium battery bank. My new inverter to boot, allows the pleasure of running two new air conditioners, if need be, and ceiling fans installed throughout.

I have a new generator, petrol powered that turns on when needed (which is very rarely) and it can even be turned on and off with the remote control.

My water supply comes from 2 large tanks with a new pump that takes the pure and unspoiled water to the home and another new pump to provide backup water from the crystal-clear creek

I am located only minutes from the magnificent unspoilt Cow Bay Beach and less than 15 minutes to the local service station, handy mart and medical centre.

Woolworths supermarket, Mossman hardware and other essential shops are a scenic 1-hour drive to Mossman.

You will be able to live here peacefully and safely and be able to relax and unwind as all the hard work is done. So, make an appointment to visit me and I am sure you want to stay.
