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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $5,050,000 (19 July 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 1,012 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Bulimba (last 5 years) with land size: median $4,537/m² of land (n=42). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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

QLD

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 $851/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.

Elevated across an expansive 1,012sqm allotment, it captures sweeping, uninterrupted views from the city skyline to Newstead, Teneriffe, and New Farm.

Read the full description

Soaring ceilings and freshly polished timber floors flow through to a large open-plan living and dining area at the rear, perfectly connected to the outdoors via sliding doors. A thoughtfully designed double study nook adds flexibility for work or study.

The kitchen is equally impressive—well-appointed with sleek stone benchtops, premium appliances, extensive storage, and an oversized island ideal for entertaining or casual family meals.

To the rear, the home opens onto a vast entertaining deck overlooking a private, level lawn and a sparkling saltwater pool with tie deck—designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Underneath the deck, additional external storage provides practical space for garden gear, bikes, and more.

The master suite is privately tucked away at the front of the home and enjoys its own private deck, walk-in robe, and elegant ensuite. Luxe feature wallpaper brings a refined, designer feel to the space. Also on this level are a second bedroom, stylish family bathroom, and separate powder room.

Downstairs, a wide staircase with oversized window floods the lower level with natural light. A spacious rumpus with kitchenette opens to a second outdoor entertaining terrace and the landscaped front yard —ideal as a teen retreat, guest quarters, or additional family living space.

Three generous bedrooms with built-in robes, a full family bathroom, and internal access from the garage complete this incredibly functional lower level.

Car accommodation includes two lock-up garages, a carport, and an additional off-street space behind a second electric gate. At the front of the property, a built-in firepit surrounded by lush greenery provides yet another inviting outdoor zone.

Situated just moments from the lifestyle and dining precinct of Oxford Street, the Apollo Road ferry, local parks, and Bulimba Golf Club, this exceptional address also lies within the catchments of Bulimba State School and Balmoral High, and close to Lourdes Hill and Saints Peter & Paul's. With the future Bulimba Barracks precinct close by, this home offers timeless character, family scale, and future lifestyle upside.

A rare opportunity to secure a landmark family compound in one of Brisbane's most tightly held riverside enclaves. Elevated, elegant, and irreplaceable.
