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.
Based on the low end of the asking range, not a contract price.
Pre-filled with Clunes'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 $380/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 1.8%. 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 Belle Property DaylesfordBuilt in 1862 and designed by renowned colonial architect Leonard Terry, The Vicarage is one of Victoria's oldest and most distinguished residences. Steeped in Australian Goldrush history, this French-inspired estate is an enduring icon of Clunes, offering both historical significance and refined modern comfort.
Set on 3,539sqm in the historic heart of town, the formal gardens create a captivating introduction. A central path lined with pencil pines leads through lush lawns and mature European trees-one adorned with a charming swing. The romance of this property is immediate: bluestone foundations, solid brick walls, and a fully restored slate roof frame a residence of rare character. Original features include wide verandas, a grand arched entry with stained-glass highlights, and a soaring central archway in the foyer.
The front rooms impress with scale and light. To the right, a formal lounge with fireplace and vintage chandelier opens through French doors onto the north terrace. Opposite, the main bedroom offers its own French doors to the southern veranda. Throughout the home are six fireplaces-three with enclosed wood burners-enhancing its warmth and grandeur. The southern wing hosts two additional bedrooms, each with fireplaces and direct garden access.
In the northern wing, a second lounge connects to a private terrace, while the kitchen and dining area blend tradition with modern function. Flooded with natural light, this space features European appliances including a 900mm Belling oven, abundant storage, and a repurposed vintage shop counter from nearby Daylesford. The main bathroom showcases copper fittings, a stepless shower, and an open fireplace, complemented by a second bathroom with laundry facilities. A central enclosed courtyard unites the wings, creating an intimate retreat for morning coffee, while a fully plumbed cast iron bath adds a touch of classic charm.
Outdoors, the estate continues to impress. A 160-year-old elm provides a majestic canopy, while multiple alfresco areas cater to both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The northern courtyard, framed by antique Indian doors, sets the stage for larger occasions. A fire pit repurposed from an Indian dahl pot anchors the chef's garden, complete with raised vegetable beds and an established orchard. Additional highlights include a stainless-steel wood-fired hot tub (available for purchase), double garage with barn doors, garden shed, deep bore water supply, and a tiny house with its own enclosed garden-perfect as a guest room, studio, or office.
Holding two titles and dual street frontages with convenient side-lane access, The Vicarage occupies a premier position within Clunes' heritage precinct. It is just moments from the train station and town centre, with Daylesford and Hepburn Springs within easy reach.
Rarely offered and impossible to replicate, this is an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of Clunes' most significant estates.
