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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $630,000 (21 Feb 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 173,400 m² against a 640 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mena Creek (last 5 years) with land size: median $277/m² of land (n=4). 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. 1No 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?

Zoning is not available (no_adapter). 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 (no_adapter). 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?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

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.

0 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Zoning is not available (no_adapter).

    Unknown

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (no_adapter). 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

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Build Cost $1.7M, 42 Acres Included—All for $650K? This Deal Is Absolutely Bonkers!

A Stunning Opportunity for Large Families Who Value Space, Visitors, and Entertaining

FACT- Cost to build a house - $2800 and $4950 a square metre

Building a house in Brisbane usually costs between $2800 - $4950 a square metre, according to recent construction industry research.

Read the full description

That means building a build for this massive 640sqm house under roof, even starting at the lower end will cost $1.7M.

An outer Brisbane 300sqm block yes block, not house, on the lower end will cost $200,000. Here you get an entire 40 acres.

Yes its not new, a few aesthetics and updates wouldn’t go astray, but dollar for dollar you are at least a million dollars ahead.

Here’s a deal that’s almost too good to be true! With a massive 640 sqm homestead on 42 acres of land, this property is the ultimate combination of luxury, privacy, and value. Priced at Expressions of Interest over $650,000, you simply cannot build a home of this scale for less than $1.7M in today’s market—let alone on acreage like this.

Let’s Talk Value:

Building costs in Brisbane today range from $2,800 to $4,950 per square metre. That means constructing a home of this size—640 sqm under roof—starts at $1.7M on the lower end.

• And that’s just for the house!

• A 300 sqm block of land in Brisbane’s outer suburbs will set you back at least $200,000.

Here, for less than the cost of the house alone, you get a sprawling homestead plus 42 acres of picturesque land. That’s a saving of over $1 million—an absolutely stunning opportunity that won’t come around again.

The Homestead:

This solid, character-filled family home is perfectly suited for tropical living and entertaining:

• 4 large bedrooms, all with built-in robes.

• Master bedroom features a walk-in robe, spa bath, and ensuite.

• A spacious gallery kitchen with endless bench space, gas cooking, dishwasher, and pantry.

• Multiple living areas: a formal dining room, huge lounge room, and separate family room.

• 2 bathrooms, separate toilet with hand wash basin, and a large indoor laundry with ample storage.

• Double French doors open onto wraparound verandas, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Built for Comfort and Sustainability:

• Perfectly designed for the tropics with cross-ventilation, fans, and wide verandas. There’s no need for air conditioning here.

• Attached 2-bay lock-up garage with internal access.

The Land:

• 42 Acres with one fenced paddock, perfect for grazing, hobby farming, or creating your own retreat.

• Lush rainforest backdrop with a creek on the property’s eastern side.

• Regular visits from wallabies, cassowaries, and abundant birdlife add to the natural charm.

• Stunning views of surrounding mountains and rainforest.

Practical and Convenient:

• Just 20 minutes to Innisfail CBD and 75 minutes to Cairns CBD.

• Reasonable rates at $3,500/year.

• 4WD access recommended in the wet season (something a few truckloads of gravel wouldn’t fix).

Why Wait?

This property offers incredible value for money and an unparalleled lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for space, privacy, or a rare investment opportunity, this is your chance to secure a homestead and acreage that would cost well over $2M to replicate today.

Virtually Furnished for Inspiration:

The property has been virtually furnished, allowing you to visualize the layout and possibilities for each space. This thoughtful feature helps you picture how this Queenslander can become your perfect home or investment.
