  • FactLand 3,439 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Montrose (last 5 years) with land size: median $906/m² of land (n=101). 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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $608/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. 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.

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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Nature’s Embrace Meets Everyday Elegance in the Coveted Sheffield Road Precinct

Tucked privately behind a curtain of leafy natives and poised on a glorious 3439sqm (approx.), this beautifully crafted brick home delivers the lifestyle so many dream of - early birdsong, fruit-picking from your own trees, long lunches strung with fairy lights, and kids tumbling across the lawn till the stars come out.

Positioned in the prestigious, no-through end of Sheffield Road, it feels like a country escape - yet Montrose Village, schools, and conveniences are just minutes away. It’s a rare and seamless fusion of peaceful acreage living with modern-day ease.

Thoughtfully zoned across a single-level design, the home offers two generous living areas, three robed bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a flexible home office or fourth bedroom - perfect for remote work, study, or bookish escapes.

Read the full description

Inside, stunning spotted gum engineered floors guide you to an open-plan heart of the home, where a sublime stone-topped kitchen is equal parts function and flair. Picture waterfall benches, an integrated touch-open bin, double ovens, a breakfast bar for rushed mornings and slow chats, plus bifold windows that invite in the breeze as you cook with a view of the garden.

An easy conversation away, a lavish meals domain with grand timber sliders flows into a lounge warmed by a wood fire, where a custom-lit divider adds designer style. A separate second living/TV room with built-in storage opens to the rear where the entire home is wrapped in a shady timber verandah for year-round outdoor enjoyment.

The bedroom wing offers quiet retreat, with the main bedroom flaunting a walk-in robe and ensuite with a stone-topped bespoke timber vanity. The sparkling family bathroom features a freestanding bath, and there’s a full laundry with hamper complemented by an undercover clothesline.

Outside, it’s a nature-lover’s paradise. Camellias, fruit trees, birdlife, and sprawling lawns are complemented by an alfresco deck lit by fairy lights and framed by weeping cherry trees, a firepit zone, built-in monkey bars for the little adventurers, and a basketball area with built-in ring.

For tradies, tinkerers or hobbyists there is a double garage with workshop space, and extensive off-street parking (yes, bring the trailer, the boat and the caravan). You can also access the rear via side gates.

With ducted heating, evaporative cooling, a split system, keyless entry, and fresh flooring throughout (excluding the study), this is the one that wraps comfort, character and a knockout location into one beautiful, big-hearted package.
