Given the $1,600,000–$1,700,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,600,000–$1,700,000(Listing record · 20 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 823 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Eltham (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,342/m² of land (n=73). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 25% above the Eltham median recorded sale ($1,282,500, n=92, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Eltham's advertised median rent ($586/wk), implied gross yield would be 1.90% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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.

Verify with your conveyancer.

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 $586/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 1.9%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Listing material

Listed by Jellis Craig Eltham

Authentic Alistair Knox, Elevated for Contemporary Living

There’s a warmth to an original Alistair Knox home that is almost impossible to recreate – and this remarkable 1976 residence captures exactly why his homes remain so special.

Set high above Milborne Crescent Reserve, 35 Floriston Grove combines genuine architectural pedigree with extraordinary privacy, northern light and a feeling of being completely immersed in nature.

Handmade brick, mudbrick and beautifully reclaimed timbers are complemented by substantial Oregon beams, a prized northerly aspect and lush reserve outlooks. Yet it is not any one material that defines the home. It is the atmosphere they create together – warm, peaceful and deeply connected to the landscape.

Read the full description

Trees fill the windows and the reserve beyond feels almost like an extension of the 823m² property, creating the experience of acreage without the maintenance.

Elevated among the treetops, the home enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of Eltham village, public transport and everyday amenities.

Beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated, the residence retains its architectural integrity while offering the comfort, functionality and ease of contemporary living. The kitchen and bathrooms have been sensitively renewed, allowing you to simply move in and enjoy the home from day one.

Beyond the warmth and character, there is a rare generosity of space. Five bedrooms and multiple living zones allow family life to flow naturally between gathering, working, creating and retreating, while the home's thoughtfully considered spaces can adapt as needs change over time.

A particularly valuable feature is the separate detached studio with balcony and views. Removed from the main living areas, it offers genuine flexibility as a home office, consulting room, artist's studio, creative workspace, teenage retreat or simply somewhere quiet to escape. For those working from home or seeking a dedicated space for a passion or profession, it adds another dimension to an already exceptional property.

Outdoor living is equally considered, with private courtyards, established gardens and entertaining areas surrounded by greenery. The home's elevated position and adjoining reserve provide an exceptional combination of light, outlook, tranquillity and privacy.

Almost fifty years on, it still captures everything that draws people to this part of Eltham: immersion in nature, authentic architecture, remarkable privacy and the convenience of having the village centre within easy reach.

Beautifully preserved, thoughtfully updated and immersed in nature, this is the kind of original Alistair Knox home that rarely comes to market – and simply cannot be recreated.
