Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
ACTPlanning 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $430/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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.
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
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
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.

Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood

This lot's DA history

Statutory land value versus ask

Listed by LJ Hooker Dickson** INSPECTION BY APPOINTMENT ONLY **
Awarded the Master Builders Association 'House of the Year' on completion in 2010, this project was summed up by the expert judging panel at the time quite simply as "You have to see it to believe it!" When you hear that there is some 625sqm of absolute quality living area plus a further 178sqm of garaging, you begin to ascertain the sheer scope of the home however, it's not until you inspect that you will truly understand its magnificence.
The classic Reid cottage facade belies a stunning and massive residence, unmatched in its ambition and achievement. Nestled within converted and tightly held Dirrawan Gardens and set on a huge parcel of land (1371 sqm), the attention to detail is nothing short of astonishing.
The sophistication of the home becomes immediately apparent from the breathtaking entry. Intricate parquetry floors extend in all directions, but your eye is drawn to the stunning glass reception gallery teaming with natural light. The feeling of warmth and opulence portrayed pays homage to the golden era of design where art deco themes compliment contemporary comforts.
There are so many well-considered features - the heat-treated curved timber series of windows which form part of the spherical access to the lower floor visible from above, are amongst the most impressive and must be seen to be believed. A grand and elegant curved travertine staircase takes you down to the lower level and its wrought-iron sweep of balustrade is another reminder of the sheer craftsmanship at play here. There are literally hundreds of square metres of hand-cut parquetry tiles and the use of timber stone and glass is staggering. The huge formal lounge to the right of the entryway is complete with an ornate marble fireplace - it's the perfect winter retreat. Further exploration on this level will reveal a large and well-appointed kitchen complete with a full-size butler's pantry. Adjoining this is a decadent formal dining room on one side and a smaller or day-to-day meals area on the other. There are three bedrooms including a huge main suite with walk-in robe/dressing room and an impressive ensuite. A purpose-built study completes the accommodation on this level.
Descent of the aforementioned sweep of stairs heads to a large, atrium like space - part ballroom, part gallery - which leads into the incredible sub-ground cinema. Beyond compare, this remarkable, fully fledged theatre features tiered luxury seating, a huge five-metre, widescreen, curved projector screen, state-of-the-art surround sound system, dedicated 'film room' with built-in storage plus a segregated lounge area for post-movie socialising. There's a guest powder room nearby for convenience and yet another gallery space. Also, at the subterranean level you'll find a five-car garage with adjacent strongroom, fire rated up to four hours. A climate-controlled wine cellar and walk-in closet as well as a 70,000-litre rainwater tank (which services toilets and provides irrigation) are amongst other surprises.
A substantial terracotta-tiled rear terrace, overlooking the private and tranquil rear gardens, takes care of the alfresco options for larger group gatherings.
Heritage listed Dirrawan Gardens is absolutely blue-chip Canberra real estate and it's not hard to see why. The garden setting of the suburb, complete with historic Tennis Club and preschool, will never be built out and offers surprisingly easy access to the lake, the growing CBD and Mount Ainslie, with buzzing Braddon not far either. A pinnacle Canberra lifestyle exists both within and just beyond these amazing walls - a home you truly must see to believe.
Ground Floor Area: 378.2sqm
Lower Floor Area: 247sqm
Total Living Area: 625.2sqm + 178.3sqm garage
