No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Daylesford's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
VICPlanning 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $509/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.6%. 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
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by Eco Real Estate NetworkSet in one of Daylesford’s most loved pockets on Wombat Hill, Leapfrog Cottage is a warm and deeply liveable home designed around light, gardens and connection to place.
Built in 1995 by one of Daylesford’s respected local builders, the home was thoughtfully designed ahead of its time, embracing passive solar principles, natural materials and a strong relationship between indoors and out. Recycled timbers, Jarrah windows and doors, and light-filled living spaces create a home that feels calm, grounded and enduring.
Just moments from cafés, schools, the Sunday Market, Botanic Gardens and the walking tracks of Cornish Hill, the location offers both convenience and the slower rhythm that makes Daylesford so sought after.
Set on approximately 818m² of rich volcanic soil, the gardens have been lovingly cultivated over many years. Fruit trees, vegetables, vines, edible plantings and a chook house create a productive and beautiful environment that changes gently with the seasons.
Inside, the flexible floorplan offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living spaces suited to family life, creative work or quiet retreat. The accessible ground-floor layout, generous family bathroom, walk-in shower and large bath add practicality across all stages of life.
Large windows and thoughtful orientation invite northern and western light throughout the day, while easy indoor–outdoor flow connects the living spaces to established gardens, brick pathways and outdoor entertaining areas.
A vine-covered pergola sets the scene for long lunches and summer evenings, while the firepit and BBQ area create a natural gathering place under Daylesford skies.
Beautifully comfortable as it is, Leapfrog Cottage also offers exciting long-term potential for future enhancement. The generous block and flexible layout provide scope for further landscaping, a studio, granny flat or extension (STCA), while the home’s original eco-conscious design creates an excellent foundation for future sustainable upgrades over time.
This is not a polished developer renovation, but something increasingly rare — an authentic, thoughtfully designed home with warmth, integrity and genuine connection to its setting.
Whether you are seeking a permanent family home, a tree-change lifestyle, a creative retreat or an investment in one of Daylesford’s most desirable locations, Leapfrog Cottage offers comfort, character and opportunity in equal measure.
