This is on the market — is it worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale — no asking price recorded(Listing record · 12 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 604 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

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.

Data unavailable

Source

  • Provider: unavailable
  • Dataset: unavailable

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

Capital growth

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $766/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Sensational Whisper Quiet Location Close to Cafes & Surf Club, Immaculately Maintained & Beautifully Presented, Like New, Single Level living!

Don't Buy a Knock Down and Re-Build it Will Cost You a Bomb, and Years of Your Life....

Don't Compromise on Location Either, Buy in One of Caves True Hot Spots and Love It ...

And Definitely Don't Buy Old and Renovate, You'll End Up Disillusioned and Broke ...

Read the full description

Instead save yourself time and money, and take full advantage of this crazy opportunity to land the dream single level residence, in the dream location, just a street back from the Surf Club and Cafes, and start enjoying the lifestyle benefits immediately, not later on!

These owners once gave me the very challenging task of securing a spot for their future, it covered only a very small section of only a handful of streets, within immediate proximity of the patrolled end of Caves Beach.

They knew exactly where they wanted to be, and I managed to find someone ready to downsize, but boy were they reluctant to leave, now it's come full circle, and our owners, who knocked down and re-built have plans to travel the world, and they're downsizing and spending the kids' inheritance, giving you the chance to capitalise on all of their hard work.

There's oh so much to love here — one level, loads of space, a brilliant floor plan and the Caves Beach lifestyle on your doorstep.

This home makes everyday living easy.

It's beautifully maintained, quality built and surprisingly spacious, with a layout that gives you room when you want it, separation when you need it, and none of the stairs that often come with a home of this scale.

For sea-change downsizers, you can make the move to single-level living without wondering where all your furniture, family and friends are going to fit.

For families chasing a beach lifestyle and an escape from the big smoke, , there's space for everyone to find their own corner, in a home that well adapts to empty nesters too.

From the moment you arrive, it feels like a home that's been cared for.

Established gardens and lovely street appeal welcome you in, while the double garage, level design and practical layout make life easy from day one.

Inside, the home opens up beautifully.

The designer kitchen sits right at the heart of everything, overlooking a big open-plan family and dining area, so whoever's cooking is still part of the conversation.

There's loads of preparation and storage space, with plentiful soft close drawers, with a generous island to gather around, and a sensor lit walk-in pantry that keeps the everyday clutter out of sight.

However the real beauty of this floor plan is that everyone doesn't have to be in the same room.

Close the beautiful timber doors and you've got a substantial separate lounge for movie nights, reading or simply escaping the noise.

There's another living space to watch TV as well, as you enter the bedrooms and bathrooms wing, it's perfect for when the kids or grandkids are over, or for guests who are staying for a few days, making a beautifully lit home office too, big enough for the two of you to use, with storage aplenty!

Then, when everyone does come together, the entertaining area indoors and out is magic.

Wide doors effortlessly connect the main open plan living directly onto an oversized covered alfresco that feels like another living room altogether.

There's plenty of room for a long lunch around the table, an outdoor lounge and the barbecue, all protected from the weather with ceiling fan overhead.

The North East aspect ensures warm winter sunshine and fabulous cool summer sea breezes.

Flowing straight out to an easy care level lawn and established gardens, giving you a backyard you can actually enjoy, without committing every weekend to looking after it.

The master bedroom gets one of our favourite features of the home, its own direct access to the deck.

Sleep with the doors open in summer and enjoy cooling sea breezes, and open them up in winter to let in the sunshine all day long.

Love that little bit of separation from the rest of the house.

Inside the master suite, two walk-in robes mean no fighting over wardrobe space, while the generous ensuite with twin vanity and walk-in shower completes a genuinely comfortable master retreat.

Three additional bedrooms mean there's no need to sacrifice guest accommodation just because you're downsizing.

Keep a room for family, create a home office or simply enjoy the flexibility of the four bedroom design.

A full main bathroom, separate toilet and internally and externally accessed laundry keep the practical side of the home just as well considered.

And then there's the reason people love living in Caves Beach.

You can leave the car at home and walk for your morning coffee, head down to the beach for a swim or surf, wander out for breakfast and enjoy the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes this pocket so tightly held.
