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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,355,000 (19 Jan 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 2,003 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in River Heads (last 5 years) with land size: median $617/m² of land (n=91). 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

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 $603/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

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

    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.

LUXURY HOME WITH OCEAN VIEWS

Every so often, a home comes along that feels genuinely special, a place that offers not just space and quality, but a sense of calm, individuality and pure coastal beauty. This remarkable residence does exactly that. Set on an expansive 2,003m² block at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, and capturing uninterrupted ocean views across to K'Gari (Fraser Island), it delivers a lifestyle of privacy, versatility and effortless comfort.

Thoughtfully designed for flexibility, the home features four generous bedrooms in total, including two private master suites, each complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite, an exceptional advantage for extended families, multigenerational living or accommodating guests in absolute comfort. The remaining bedrooms include built-in robes and ceiling fans, with multiple open-plan living and dining zones across both levels.

Functionality is elevated even further with two well-appointed kitchens, each fitted with a gas cooktop and electric oven, allowing true dual-living capability. Comfort is assured year-round with split-system air-conditioning on both levels, while warm and inviting interiors are enhanced by plantation shutters, excellent storage, dedicated office spaces and soaring 2.7m ceilings that create an uplifting sense of openness. A beautifully crafted timber staircase connects the two levels while maintaining privacy and separation between zones.

Outdoor living is truly exceptional. The fully screened lower patio provides all-season comfort, while the upper balcony is perfectly positioned to embrace the ocean views and cooling coastal breezes, an idyllic setting for morning coffee, evening sunsets or gathering with family and friends. A powered undercover entertaining area offers the perfect space for BBQs, weekend celebrations and relaxed outdoor enjoyment, or simply a quiet place to unwind in complete luxury.

The grounds are immaculate, practical and generous. The large backyard is fully fenced and complemented by a 7m x 12m powered four-bay garage, ideal for caravans, boats, work vehicles or a workshop. A 6.6kW solar system adds further efficiency and long-term energy benefit. Additional outdoor storage, a garden shed and a remote electric gate further enhance everyday convenience.

Located just minutes from the K'Gari barge and boat ramp, local shopping, beaches, dining and the Hervey Bay CBD, this property combines tranquillity with outstanding lifestyle accessibility. Homes of this calibre, with these views and this level of versatility, are exceptionally hard to find.

This is more than a home, it's a sanctuary, a luxury lifestyle and a standout opportunity in a highly sought-after location where the possibilities are endless.
