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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,070,000 (17 Dec 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Aberfoyle Park (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,183/m² of land (n=132). 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

SA

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 $598/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.

Open the Door to an '80s Hit with a Fresh Take on Foothills Living

Auction Wed, 17th Dec - 6pm (USP)

The early '80s spawned a special time in South Australian architecture and this fully renovated, solar-powered example in the leafy folds of Aberfoyle Park is no exception, on a near-level plot that pulls you to its serene rear and says, 'stay a while'.

You'll want to stay forever when see how a white, bright refresh has given new life to this 4-bedroom split-level home with soaring raked ceilings, rich timber floors, ensuited main bedroom, sleek wet areas, a dynamic floorplan that flexes with you and a rear deck that sets the summer stage. Stay forever.

Read the full description

Open the door to:

⁃ A renewed early '80s home that elevates its original architecture with a crisp white palette, raked ceilings and warm timber floors, set on a solid double brick, split level foundation with insulated walls and ceilings

⁃ A sprawling central living zone with exposed beams, large picture windows and bifold doors that open directly to the rear deck, establishing an easy indoor to outdoor rhythm

⁃ A modern all electric kitchen with timber benchtops, subway tiles, induction cooktop and stainless steel appliances, framed by clear sightlines to the dining, lounge and alfresco spaces for functional daily living and effortless hosting

⁃ Four well separated bedrooms, each with its own personality, including a calming main suite with walk in robe, sleek ensuite and ceiling fans mirrored in every bedroom

⁃ Kids' bedrooms designed for colour, scale and creativity, each with generous windows and space to grow, study or play

⁃ Freshly renovated bathrooms with clean lines and quality fixtures, including a family bathroom featuring a freestanding tub and warm textural tiling

⁃ A large covered outdoor entertaining area that acts as a true second living space in summer, complete with lighting, ceiling fans, privacy screening and seamless bifold flow from the interior

⁃ A wide, functional backyard with level lawn, established greenery and elevated rear outlooks over treetops and neighbouring rooftops for added privacy

⁃ Secure car accommodation via an oversized garage, carport and long driveway, supported by practical additions like a dedicated storeroom, discreet laundry zone and a ducted vacuum system with retractable hose

⁃ A flexible, family ready floorplan backed by split system air conditioning, a 7.8 kW solar system, electric hot water upgraded three years ago and long term adaptability as kids grow, guests stay or needs shift, all in one of Aberfoyle Park's greenest pockets

Close the door on:

⁃ Dark, dated '80s interiors and step into a home that has been completely renewed with bright finishes, fresh paintwork and modern styling

⁃ Low ceilings, and enjoy the volume created by raked rooflines, exposed beams and wide window spans that open the home right up

⁃ Yards that slope away or limit use and appreciate a largely level block with lawn, established greenery and strong privacy

⁃ Daily parking battles and make the most of a generous garage, wide carport and long driveway with space for multiple vehicles

Aberfoyle Park rewards anyone who wants space, schools and scenery without drifting too far from the city. Moments from the Hub Shopping Centre, a lineup of local primary schools and Aberfoyle Park High School, Flinders University and hospital precinct, walking trails, Happy Valley Reservoir and the expressway, it's a foothills setting that gives you room to breathe while keeping everything you need firmly within reach.
