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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 864 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Montrose (last 5 years) with land size: median $905/m² of land (n=102). 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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $608/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Secluded Sanctuary with Pool and Reserve Access

There’s a certain calm that settles in the Montrose foothills - birdsong drifting through the trees, dappled light on timber floors, and the feeling that you’ve arrived somewhere quietly special. Privately positioned on approximately 864m² and gently unfolding across three levels, this contemporary residence is a true haven, blending everyday comfort with a deep connection to outdoor spaces.

Set well back from the street and backing directly onto a nature reserve, the home immediately feels safe, secluded and wonderfully private. Crisp plantation shutters lend a subtle Hamptons note, while soaring timber-lined raked ceilings introduce warmth and architectural flair. Every turn invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the setting.

The kitchen sits confidently at the centre of daily life, beautifully equipped with stone benchtops, a 900mm cooker, dishwasher and stainless steel appliances and a generous breakfast bar under pendant lighting. From here, leafy outlooks frame your cooking moments, whether it’s weekday dinners or entertaining a crowd. The adjoining dining area forms a natural gathering point, and the entire zone spills out to a paved, fully enclosed alfresco and lawn - perfect for barefoot play, or a glass of wine at dusk.

Read the full description

A comfortable lounge room delivers cosy winter evenings, anchored by a toasty open fireplace that adds both warmth and atmosphere. With four external doors throughout the home, indoor living flows effortlessly outdoors - you’re never more than a few steps from deck, garden, or pool.

Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned. Two attic-style bedrooms occupy the upper level, each with built-in robes and a peaceful treetop feel. The lavish main bedroom sits privately on the second level, complete with built-in robes, a sleek modern ensuite, and a tiled step-down retreat ideal as a nursery, home office or gym - with its own external access. A second family bathroom services the home with ease.

Outdoors is where this property truly shines. Entertain on the deck and host summer dinners beside the sparkling solar-heated concrete pool, or retreat to the pool house and pergola, fully enclosable with remote blinds for year-round enjoyment. Fruit trees - plum, lemon, lime, fig and olive - add charm, productivity and seasonal joy.

With shops, Montrose Primary School and village cafés around the corner, and direct gated access to Richards Reserve offering leafy walks, playgrounds and a shortcut to morning coffee, the lifestyle here is as effortless as it is enriching. Add easy bus access to Lilydale and Ringwood stations, and you have foothills living with everyday convenience beautifully covered.
