Given the $1,300,000–$1,400,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,300,000–$1,400,000(Listing record · 20 Apr 2026)
  • FactLand 141,300 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Data unavailable

Source

  • Provider: unavailable
  • Dataset: unavailable
  • Retrieved: not yet retrieved

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.

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.

Records

Property history

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

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?

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. 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.

Private Bushland Escape

Set within a lush Martinsville landscape, where the surrounding greenery creates a sense of calm without compromising connection, this is the kind of place people dream about but rarely find. A home that doesn't just sit in nature, but feels part of it-wrapped in timber, light and the quiet rhythm of the bush.

From the moment you arrive, the near-wraparound veranda sets the tone. It's a home designed to be lived outdoors as much as in-morning coffee with birdsong, long lunches under cover, evenings that stretch as the light filters through the trees.

Inside, warm timber flooring runs throughout, anchoring open living spaces that connect effortlessly to the surrounding greenery. Large openings invite the outside in, creating a seamless flow to the expansive entertaining zones overlooking dense, established bushland. It's private, peaceful, and completely immersive.

Read the full description

The layout is as practical as it is inviting. Bedrooms are generously proportioned with built-ins throughout, including two walk-in robes and two triple robes, while bathrooms on both levels offer flexibility for families or guests. A cleverly positioned under-stairs study nook provides a quiet space to work or retreat, complemented by ample storage including triple linen.

Beyond the main residence, the property continues to unfold. A separate workshop or retreat with its own kitchenette, shower and composting toilet offers versatility-ideal for creative pursuits or a quiet escape of its own. A greenhouse, multiple garden sheds and established grounds add to the sense of a self-contained haven, while mains power, water and septic ensure everyday comfort.

Positioned moments from Martinsville Recreation Park and within easy reach of Watagans National Park, Lake Macquarie and Trinity Point, the setting balances seclusion with accessibility. With the emerging Cedar Mill precinct and Watagan Park Central nearby, convenience is quietly catching up to this already special pocket.

A place where time slows, the air feels different, and every day begins and ends with the calm of the trees.
