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

SA

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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $562/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

Cordolyn - A Rare Lifestyle Acreage Offering on 23.5 Acres

Welcome to Cordolyn, a remarkable lifestyle property set across approximately 23.5 acres (9.5 hectares) of fertile, fully arable land in the picturesque surrounds of Strathalbyn. Offering the perfect balance between comfortable family living and productive rural land, this exceptional holding presents an opportunity for families dreaming of a true country upbringing, hobby farmers seeking space and versatility, or buyers looking to establish a small-scale commercial venture.

Originally built in 1976, the spacious family residence has been thoughtfully updated over time, combining classic country charm with modern improvements. The home offers six bedrooms and two bathrooms, with renovations to both bathrooms and the laundry completed in 2024, while the kitchen was upgraded in 2019 and features a gas cooktop and generous preparation space for family meals and entertaining.

Multiple living zones provide flexibility for growing families, including a large family room warmed by a substantial Nectre combustion heater, a separate dining room and a versatile games or rumpus room perfect for children, hobbies or entertaining. Split system air conditioning in the master bedroom and family room ensures year-round comfort. Bedroom six also offers the benefit of separate external access, creating an ideal space for a home office, guest accommodation, or independent teenager's retreat.

Read the full description

Surrounding the home is approximately 1.2 hectares / 3 acres dedicated to the house block, providing generous space for gardens, recreation and outdoor living. Beyond this, the expansive 8.3 hectare / 20.5 acre main paddock opens up a wealth of agricultural and lifestyle possibilities.

The property has been carefully set up for productive rural use. The fully arable paddock has previously supported 14 head of Black Angus cattle and commercial chicken pastures, while historically producing phalaris, rye and clover. Infrastructure across the land includes excellent fencing and a well-designed water system, with nine taps positioned throughout the paddock at approximately 50 metre intervals via 32mm irrigation poly pipe, ensuring convenient access to mains water wherever it is needed.

For horse lovers, the property is particularly well suited, offering four horse stables with adjoining yards, two of which are fully enclosed, with mains water available. Additional improvements include a substantial 15m x 9.6m concreted shed with power and water, a three-bay carport, and a workshop with power. Adding further practicality and character are three railway carriages sourced from the Ghan, positioned within the paddock and providing unique additional storage.

A standout feature of Cordolyn is the established orchard of approximately 70 fruit and nut trees spanning across 1,800sqm, offering a rich variety of produce including citrus, lemons, oranges, mandarins, Kaffir and Tahitian limes, apples, plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries, mulberries, kiwi fruit, pomegranates and almonds, alongside table grapes and passionfruit.

Complementing the orchard is a rabbit-proofed vegetable garden of approximately 1,000sqm, already producing an abundance of seasonal vegetables and herbs including pumpkin, corn, zucchini, snow peas, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, capsicum, coriander, basil, oregano, spring onion, rhubarb and strawberries. For families seeking a more sustainable lifestyle or the potential for boutique produce sales, the groundwork has already been laid.

Water security is another key feature of the property, with mains water connected, approximately 57,000 litres of rainwater storage, the toilets are connected to mains with the remainder of the home supplied by rainwater with a Puratap filtration system installed in the kitchen.

Cordolyn is more than just a property - it is an opportunity to embrace a genuine rural lifestyle. Children can grow up exploring wide open paddocks, learning to care for animals, collecting fresh produce from the garden, and enjoying the simple pleasures of country living, all while still being within easy reach of the historic township of Strathalbyn.

Whether you envision running cattle, keeping horses, establishing a hobby farm, or simply enjoying the space and freedom that acreage living provides, Cordolyn delivers the perfect foundation for a fulfilling country lifestyle with genuine productive potential.
