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

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 757 m² against a 189 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Pottsville (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,966/m² of land (n=123). 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

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $850/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Energy Efficient Coastal Oasis

Your perfect home has to be in the right location. Usually, you are unable to relocate a home but you can modify its structure, remodel it, or alter its layout.

39 Royal Drive Pottsville is a hard-to-beat location, walk to everything from this 4-bedroom ensuited home a short stroll from Mooball Creek, Pottsville Beach, St. Ambrose School, local shops and Tavern.

Many moving to this location have recognized the potential and advantages of renovating, extending, or subdividing bringing new life to the area. You can enjoy quiet family times in the private garden or host gatherings in the spacious undercover outdoor setting.

Read the full description

Pottsville Beach is a highly sought-after destination for many reasons, including its proximity to Byron Bay in the south and Gold Coast Airport to the north, each less than 30 minutes away by car. Closer still are the iconic destinations of Brunswick Heads, Ocean Shores, Kingscliff, Casuarina, Cabarita Beach and Hastings Point. This property offers the perfect combination of convenience and coastal charm.

The Basics: House Built 1988, Extended 2002. Floor Size 189m2 Land Size 757m2, 4 bedrooms -master with ensuite, one bedroom has private outside access which would make it a great office or home business, pool with rustic shade structure, a double lock up garage, side access for the boat or van, a large undercover entertaining area overlooking the in-ground pool. The lush vegetation provides a living buffer against the elements, further enhancing the pet and wildlife-friendly aspects of the home. All fences have recently been replaced and the yard is fully enclosed. A new Certificate of Compliance for the pool has just been received and is current for 3 years. New compliance rules and the replacement of fencing required the removal of some vegetation providing a blank canvas for the next owners to landscape the area to their tastes.

When the sun is shining the double solar system with 35 panels and twin 5kw inverters power the saltwater pool, heat pump hot water system and reverse cycle air-conditioning while still exporting significant power to the grid. High-efficiency LED bulbs light the home using minimal energy. Gardens are watered by an independent low-voltage solar-powered groundwater pump. The house was above the 2022 (and previous) flood waters.

Functional improvements have more than paid for themselves - no payment for electricity since the first solar system was installed in 2016, and water costs are negligible.

Seize the opportunity to shape your dream lifestyle on a generously sized block! Embrace the potential, embrace the space - this is your chance to transform a substantial piece of coastal paradise in the highly sought-after Pottsville into your ideal home.

Take advantage of current low energy and water bills, set aside the savings and enjoy the amenities of the area while you begin planning for your future. In a year or two, bring in builders to make your dream a reality.

We have purchased outside the region yet still work locally so are ready to go, but happy to stay. After almost 30 years in Pottsville, 10 of which in this house, we are somewhat reluctant to leave yet looking forward to new opportunities.

Will consider offers within the asking range taking into account time frames and other factors.
