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

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 2,080 m² against a 395 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Roleystone (last 5 years) with land size: median $385/m² of land (n=100). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 2,080 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $727/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 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.

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

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 2,080 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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.

Camelia Cottage | A Roleystone Landmark, Beautifully Reimagined

THE FEATURES YOU WILL LOVE

Long before Roleystone became one of Perth's most sought-after hills communities, Camelia Cottage stood proudly along Raeburn Road. Originally constructed in 1954, this much-loved residence is believed to be one of the area's original cottages, a home that has quietly witnessed generations of change while remaining true to its timeless character.

Lovingly restored, thoughtfully extended and meticulously improved over the decades, Camelia Cottage beautifully blends the warmth and charm of its heritage with the comfort and practicality expected of modern living. Every improvement has been carefully considered, preserving the soul of the original home while creating a residence designed to be enjoyed for decades to come.

Read the full description

Set privately back from the road behind established gardens, the home immediately creates a sense of tranquillity. Surrounded by mature trees and positioned on an exceptionally level parcel of land, it enjoys the beauty of the hills without the maintenance often associated with larger lifestyle properties. Here, you feel wonderfully secluded while remaining just moments from cafés, walking trails and the heart of Roleystone.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the home offers four generous bedrooms, two beautifully appointed bathrooms and multiple living areas, making it equally suited to couples, growing families, multi-generational living or those looking to downsize without sacrificing space.

One of the property's defining features is the impressive 91m² powered and insulated workshop. Constructed with generous clearance and future versatility in mind, it is ready for everything from a vehicle hoist and classic car collection to caravans, boats, trailers, home businesses or additional storage.

Complementing the workshop is an increasingly rare feature in today's market, dual driveways with dual side access. Whether you're parking the caravan securely behind one gate while keeping the other driveway free for everyday vehicles, or storing your prized vintage car separately from trailers and recreational toys, the flexibility this layout provides is exceptional.

The current owners have always believed that if something is worth doing, it is worth doing properly. That philosophy is evident throughout the property, and extends to the professionally landscaped grounds. Extensive limestone retaining walls create distinct outdoor rooms that connect the productive vegetable gardens, established mulberry tree, inviting firepit and conversation area beneath commercial grade shade sails. Completing the picture is the stunning spa, positioned beneath a louvred pergola to create an outdoor retreat that can be enjoyed throughout every season.

Inside, modern comforts continue with solar panels, reverse cycle air conditioning and two wood burning fireplaces, ensuring the home remains comfortable and energy efficient all year round.

Camelia Cottage is more than a beautifully presented home. It is a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Roleystone's history, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living.

THE LIFESTYLE YOU WILL LIVE

Some homes simply provide accommodation. Camelia Cottage offers a way of life.

Wake each morning to birdsong drifting through the trees, wander into the garden to pick fresh produce for breakfast, then enjoy your coffee surrounded by established greenery and complete privacy. Spend weekends exploring nearby walking trails, meeting friends at The Orchard, working on your latest project in the workshop, or simply relaxing beneath the shade sails before soaking in the spa as the sun sets over the surrounding treetops.

When winter arrives, light one of the wood burning fireplaces and watch the hills transform into the lush, green landscape Roleystone is famous for. In summer, open the home to the breeze, entertain family and friends outdoors, and appreciate the thoughtful landscaping that has created beautiful outdoor spaces without demanding endless maintenance. Whether you're searching for a character filled family home, a peaceful place to downsize, somewhere to accommodate multiple generations, or simply a property with enough room for your passions, Camelia Cottage offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.

Rich in history, beautifully presented and designed with exceptional practicality, this is a home where memories have been made for generations, and where the next chapter is ready to begin.
