Districts View
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.

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
TASPlanning 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $568/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. 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.
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
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 Harcourts HobartThis irresistibly charming 'cape-cod homestead' inspired country cottage, with gabled roof and postcard perfect dormer windows, constructed with sturdy sandstone block, sits proudly atop a quiet, sunny hill in Taroona on the fringe of Sandy Bay where the water views are spectacular.
Renovated in 2016, and set up for low maintenance living, the home will appeal to home owners, investors (previous achieving $600 to $620 per week during the past four years), and even potential short-term accommodation owners (subject to Kingborough, not Hobart, Council approval).
Adorned with custom architectural elements including cathedral style, exposed timber beams in the ceilings and French style red Cedar window frames, the home is charming inside and enjoys a striking street presence from the outside.
The generously proportioned, family sized house is set over three levels and has a floorplan that will allow flexibility as your family grows. There is a place for everyone's quiet time, and spaces where the family can come together too. A small fourth bedroom is currently set up as an office for easy work-from-home flexibility.
The kitchen and informal meals area is on a split level to the living and formal dining room above where the open plan is warm, relaxed, and comfortable with earthy brick and soft timber textures warmed by a fabulous Convict Sandstone open fireplace, or reverse cycle air conditioning for year-round climate control.
Upstairs via a staircase with attractive timber banister is the spacious master bedroom with ensuite that has been designed to allow one to soak in and connect with the forested outlooks while you soak in the suds - a perfect way to start or end the day's activities. There are appealing water views to the Derwent River across to Tranmere in the distance from both of these upstairs double bedrooms.
The compact gardens surrounding the home are well established with low maintenance native trees, plants and shrubs whilst also featuring a paved private courtyard at the rear nestled among the leafy surrounds. There is off street parking for two vehicles to complete the package.
There are beautiful coastal walks and bush trails nearby and its location is within 12 minutes' drive to the CBD, 6kms to everything that prestigious and vibrant Sandy Bay has to offer, and a short 4-minute drive to Taroona beach and immensely popular Taroona High School - the convenience a lifestyle here would be hard to beat.
