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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $2,188,000 (27 June 2026).(Recorded sale)

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

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 $563/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

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

    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 Belle Property Brighton

Sold By Costa Karabatsos

SOLD BY COSTA KARABATSOS

This is family luxury with the volume turned right up, hidden away in a whisper-quiet cul-de-sac just one block from the beach. The contemporary architectural residence has the scale and entertaining power of a full-sized home with elite finishes throughout and a standard of design and execution that places it in a league of its own.

Wide, light and beautifully composed from the outset, the entry draws you past a fitted study with custom joinery, a built-in desk and the ability to close the door when work, homework or privacy calls. Then the interior opens into a spectacular stretch of living, dining and entertaining, where pale timber floors, a gas fireplace and walls of glass create an elegant ambience.

Read the full description

The kitchen is pure theatre. A waterfall-edge marble island anchors the space, while sleek cabinetry, premium appliances and a serious butler's pantry with a second cooktop and oven keep the mess, prep and catering out of sight. For family dinners, long lunches, big birthdays, Christmas and Friday night drinks, this is a residence that knows exactly how to host.

Two sets of sliding doors pull the living area out to a vast deck and covered alfresco zone, complete with a barbecue kitchen for all-season enjoyment. It's private, landscaped and crafted with the same intent as the interior. There's enough room for a long table, lounging and an easy flow that makes people stay longer than planned.

A ground-floor bedroom with walk-in robe, ensuite and outside access gives the home flexibility for guests, teenagers, grandparents or a second main bedroom option.

Upstairs, the sculptural staircase rises to the second level, with a spacious retreat, three more bedrooms and bathrooms echoing the theme of understated glamour. The main bedroom is quietly indulgent, featuring his-and-hers walk-in robes and a luxe ensuite with twin vanities that makes getting ready feel like an occasion. Two further bedrooms each include walk-in robes and share a family bathroom with bath, shower and separate toilet.

Zoned heating and cooling, a guest powder room, a double garage with internal entry, an underground water tank, back-to-grid solar and battery storage add quiet efficiency behind the style.

Close to Mentone Village, the train station, Thrift Park Shopping Centre, Keith Styles Reserve and leading schools including Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls' Grammar, St Bede's College and Mentone Girls' Secondary College, the home is also zoned for Beaumaris Secondary College and Mentone Primary School.

Substantial, sophisticated and superbly crafted, it's a stunning sea change without leaving Melbourne.
