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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,900,000 (13 Feb 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 604 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Caves Beach (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,207/m² of land (n=109). 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

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.

Enjoy Fantastic North East Beach Views from Inside & Out, Just 1 Street off Frontline to the Ocean, with More Privacy & No Crowds, this is the One!

Prepare to be gobsmacked by outstanding beach views, taking in sand, breaking waves and Moon Island to the North East.

Love the fact that the views are from the rear of the home, so your privacy is assured, with all the perks of a true North East aspect, expect fantastic cool sea-breezes all summer long, and wonderful warm winter sunshine too.

You are literally just seconds from the sand and Caves Beach Surf Life Saving Club, our amazing cave and nearby rock pools, with a fantastic beachside cafe, and surf club bar open on weekends, with safe swimming not 100m from your back door.

Read the full description

The generous back deck is definitely the place to be, breakfast, lunch and dinner will always be better by the beach, out on your deck with family and friends.

Inside is no disappointment either, with gutsy open plan living and a lovely open kitchen both drinking in the big ocean and beach views, with fantastic connectivity to the oversized back deck.

From the second you step inside the front door, you are hit with a blue ocean vista, and a sense of what's to come, excitement builds as you stroll through the front living through to the explosive main living out back.

The upper level is complete with a master bedroom, ensuite and walk-in robe, with a renovated bathroom and 2 other light-filled bedrooms located in a separate wing away from the master suite.

The entry is hidden from the street by a gorgeous, very established tree, which provides beautiful privacy and shelters you from any westerly sun or wind, with lovely hardwood stairs welcoming you up and into the home's private front entry foyer.

Beyond the big deck and open plan living that are each drowned in views, head downstairs to 2 extra double bedrooms, which both enjoy their own lower level outdoor deck access and living.

A powder room and shower and toilet feature on the ground floor as well as a studio or 6th bedroom, that comes off the very much over sized garage.

The backyard is unexpected too, with room for a great lawn as well as a pool, with stairs beautifully connecting the top deck to the backyard, so you only have to holler when lunch is on and everyone can scurry upstairs for a bite to eat and a beverage or two.

A very much lifestyle focused home, of unexpected proportions, location wise, view wise and aspect wise they really don't come much better than this, and considering what we just sold across the road for and what we sold a duplex on half a block for, we think the price will pleasantly surprise you too!

• Promising big beach views from its elevated setting in prized street address

• Expansive vistas across sparkling water, spectacular sunrises & rolling storms

• Sprawling covered timber deck is the perfect spot to entertain, relax & unwind

• Spend your days up top, embracing views from the front deck, kitchen & living
