Given the $695,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $695,000(Listing record · 13 May 2026)
  • FactLand 45,200 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationAsk is 34% above the St Helens median recorded sale ($518,500, n=19, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at St Helens's advertised median rent ($409/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.06% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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: Tasmania schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Capital growth

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $409/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 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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.1%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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 for this property.

  • 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 LJ Hooker St Helens

Classic hobby farm on the outskirts of town

With the sounds of town just out of earshot, and the serenity of your own slice of agricultural heaven, 52 Ansons Bay Rd might just be the "bit of Tassie" you've been looking for. With a classic weatherboard farmhouse and sheds for just about everything, this property has been an integral part of the rich history of the area, with strong family ties to the community which continue today.

The home is quite original, down to the wood stove and carpet you'll remember from your Nanna's home. With hardwood flooring under the carpet, exposing them as part of a renovation will be an immediate reward for effort. Some upgrades have been made with the inclusion of a reverse cycle air conditioner and bathroom modifications to improve mobility considerations. Two generous bedrooms at the front of the home offer classic country style accommodation. A third smaller bedroom off the veranda will become the room that everyone remembers, thanks to its pocket size and external access. Separate lounge room and dining room offer versatility, and the expansive rear entrance offers room for wood storage and shoe and coat racks for that authentic country feel. The combined laundry and bathroom are functional and offer access to the northern sunroom, which could be a further bedroom or hobby room. The home is serviced by town water and a septic tank.

Outside you'll find sheds for wood storage, the old laundry (complete with copper), garage spaces, carports and workshops. There is also a substantial shed that was once the site of a sawmill and boat-building operation.

Read the full description

The paddocks and ready to graze, while the front garden has a variety of fruit trees, including a wonderful mulberry tree, that will delight the taste buds every year and may encourage some seasonal preserving for the year ahead.

With town just a few minutes from your door, having a hobby farm to run some sheep, keep chooks and be self-sufficient with a veggie garden as big as you want will give you an enviable lifestyle in a wonderful part of Tasmania.

St Helens is the largest centre on the East Coast and offers an enviable lifestyle for anyone who appreciates living within easy access to stunning natural beauty, fresh and saltwater fishing, surfing, diving, world-class mountain bike trails, bush walking and following exquisite food and wine trails. The town is fully serviced with schools, hospital, hardware, cafes and restaurants, community centre, light industrial area and employment opportunities.

If you think you're ready to embrace a rural lifestyle close to town, and the most beautiful scenery in Tasmania, call me to arrange your private inspection.
