Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
TASPlanning 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $545/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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.
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
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by Peterswald for PropertyCommanding attention as a bold, impressive example of Post-War era architecture, nestled within verdant surrounds with unrivalled views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington sits an historic homestead in South Hobart, fitted with every modern convenience.
Originally constructed in 1948 by renowned architect Harry Hope, of the prestigious JAWS Architects which remains one of Hobart's most celebrated architectural practice, the home was built for Alfred Gough, a yachtsman, and founder of National Pies. Extensive renovations in 2019 carefully retained Tasmanian heritage while implementing contemporary design necessary for twenty first century living.
Beginning on the entrance level, resurfaced polished Tas Oak flooring sits below sky-high ceilings, with ornate stained-glass windows adorned with new plantation shutters creating an alluring ambiance that showcases both period and modern features.
Stunning South Hobart vistas immediately draw the eye from the light-filled, open-plan living space, which features an art deco ceiling and fireplace, and underfloor heating. There's room for elegant dining within the spacious setting.
The versatile floorplan flows eloquently from the main living hub through to a bespoke, sunny home office, and in turn, to a sumptuous library that could easily become additional accommodation if desired.
The inspired kitchen is luxuriously spacious. The culinary space has enjoyed extensive renovation within the modern rear extension, boasting state-of-the-art Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances, abundant pantry space, quality, custom joinery, and solid stone benchtops.
The ultimate entertaining home, bi-fold doors open from the dining and living spaces to the Spotted Gum deck, allowing indoors to extend out, overlooking the immaculate, easy-care gardens while capturing the Northern sun.
A timber staircase leads upstairs, where comfortable accommodation awaits. Three generous bedrooms each contain built-in wardrobes, new woollen carpets, and plenty of natural light. Glorious views alternate between the iconic, leafy streetscape and the serene South Hobart bushland, and Cascades, to the top of the mountain.
A nod to the home's first owner's maritime past, circular stained-glass windows line the hallway leading to the master bedroom. A second, custom-built home office sits at the top of the home, and extends to a large, sun-drenched rooftop terrace, where the incredible outlooks are best enjoyed.
Two luxurious bathrooms service the home, one on each level, both enjoying underfloor heating. Upstairs, there's a shower, bath, vanity, a toilet, and lovely skylight within the stylish setting. The lower-level bathroom also contains a shower, along with a vanity, and a toilet.
The secure garage provides housing for multiple vehicles, with additional space for storage. The garage also provides level and sheltered car-to-door access, opening into the kitchen via the well-placed laundry.
Outside, the abundant gardens offer fresh produce with a vast array of vegetables, citrus, berries, fruits, and herbs. Landscaped box hedges, blooming florals, and age-old trees line the low-maintenance lawns and boundaries, with a central water feature adding to the tranquillity of a rare city fringe garden oasis.
The windows throughout the renovated lower level, and the street-facing windows upstairs, are double-glazed, and each room is heated by hydronic gas panels. There are LED lights across both storeys, and the home has been re-wired, largely re-plumbed, and re-roofed with Colorbond steel.
Perfectly positioned at the desirable high-end of Davey Street, this regal home offers a peaceful lifestyle within minutes of the South Hobart village and CBD while providing spacious, family living from an impeccably renovated, historic setting.
