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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,231,000 (30 Nov 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 995 m² against a 175 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Bridgewater (last 5 years) with land size: median $905/m² of land (n=74). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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 $706/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.

Listing material

Listed by Harris Real Estate Stirling

Retro reborn in the heart of Bridgewater

An architectural home that embraces the best of 1977 origins to create the finest in breezy, light-drenched contemporary living – when it comes to mid-century soul reimagined, 48 Mountford Avenue sets the bar.

Hidden away from street level and perched perfectly for views across the valley, picture and clerestory windows harmonise perfectly with picturesque surroundings and ensure no sunray goes wasted. Raked ceilings, stonework, timber detailing, and engineered floating floors are layered over an enviably flexible floorplan, delivering something new and breathtaking to discover across every zone.

Centered by a combustion heater for the toastiest winters imaginable, a vast living area radiates free flowing ease. Unfolding to a gourmet kitchen, stone benchtops, 900mm oven/gas cooktop, wide pull-out cabinetry, and subway style splashbacks are set to elevate every recipe, open plan design streamlining every moment from the daily breakfast rush to spontaneous midnight feasts.

Read the full description

Two spacious bedrooms are primed for every version of your clan, serviced by a split-level bathroom that redefines resort living at home. Uniting millennial pink vertical tiles, brushed brass hardware, freestanding tub, frameless walk-in shower, and wall-hung vanity, and canopied by a rain-sensing skylight, you'll never find a chicer space for everyday rituals.

And that's just the upper floor. Head downstairs for an additional lounge that defines multi-purpose potential, whether you embrace as your formal lounge, playroom, teenagers retreat, or home theatre (BYO popcorn). Bookended by private study, walk-in robe, and showstopping curved ensuite, the main bedroom completes the equation with a truly exceptional suite to start or end the day.

A trifecta of alfresco areas offer your choice of location for downtime spent outdoors, whether it's a quiet morning coffee overlooking the terraced yard on the lower deck, full-scale entertaining on the north-facing balcony, or marshmallow roasting to rear alfresco area. Established gardens wrap the 995m2 allotment with botanical privacy, lush gardens, vast lawns, and leafy trees creating an incredible canvas for green thumbs and a picture-perfect slice of the hills to call your own.

Unmatchable positioning hides you quietly away from the world with still seconds from all the amenities of both Bridgewater and Aldgate for shops, cafes, supermarkets, and your choice of pub for summer sips on the deck or winters around the fire. Numerous educational options nearby, including Aldgate and Bridgewater Primary Schools, Heathfield High School, and numerous private schooling options. With the best of the Adelaide Hills Wine Region at your doorstep, weekends are sorted, while it's less than half an hour to the Adelaide CBD.

Settle in, soak it up – heaven is a place on earth.
