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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,275,000 (11 July 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 710 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Caves Beach (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,226/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.

Get Set to be Very Pleasantly Surprised, Much More Spacious than You’d Think, with Multiple Living Zones & Fantastic One Level Living Inside & Out!

Deliciously private, come and discover an extensive, single level residence that delivers good looking open plan living that flows from front to back and effortlessly outdoors to a great size, dead level sunny backyard.

With a beautiful backdrop of bush behind, you feel like you're in the country, with a tree change and sea change reality that is very hard to beat.

Whether you're retirees escaping the rat race, traffic and big city overcrowding, or you're a family looking for space to spread out, and room to breath, where your kids have every opportunity from schooling, sports, after school employment, and every kind of outdoor activity nearby, where they and you can enjoy a safe and peaceful environment, you can give this home a big tick!

Read the full description

Promising genuine double garaging and drive thru big carport access to a beautiful North facing lovely level backyard, set against a magnificent bush backdrop, the winter sunshine inside and out is sublime, and the seabreeze that rolls in on hot summer days is amazing and not something you get just any old where in Lake Macquarie or even Caves Beach!

The home itself is intelligently laid out, with dedicated spacious and separate open plan living areas and big bedrooms that are set well apart from each other for comfortable everyday living for retirees and families alike.

With no stairs in sight, this is the perfect home to retire to or enjoy for decades to come, from when your kids are tiny, to teenagers and beyond, as you can stay here long after the kids move out and still enjoy single level living and a great size flat backyard.

Our owners have loved their time here, and only now that our owner is on her own, and her health has taken a turn for the worst, has she even considered selling and moving on, which sends a strong message to buyers about how much she's loved living here, and how lucky you are to get the opportunity to live here.

Over time the property has been gently brought into the 21st century with contemporary modern flooring, and paintwork that welcomes you inside to enjoy picture perfect outlooks from the master suite and delightful front and rear living rooms.

As you step inside a genuine entry shields all of the living and bedrooms with perfect privacy.

Once invited in, fabulous living explodes before your very eyes, with open style lounge and dining on a very generous scale, giving way to a granite tops contemporary kitchen overlooking rear family room living and a generous indoor and outdoor entertaining room, and beyond to another dedicated big sunny light filled open living area, all with a delightful outlook to the level backyard and beyond to a beautiful bush backdrop.

Like the light filled open style front living, the master suite is blessed with a picturesque and very private garden outlook, boasting a fresh ensuite and walk in robe.

An entirely separate dedicated bedrooms and bathroom wing at the back of the home, lets you have space from young grandchildren and teenagers alike, making for a great guest wing for visiting or boomeranging adult children and grandkids and or invited guests.

The bedrooms are beautifully proportioned and set around extensive built in storage and an oversized light filled big bathroom complete with extensive vanity, and luxe separate bath and shower.

A generous fourth bedroom or roomy office flows off the family living, completing the bedrooms and office theme, although for those who don't need 2 dining areas, a 5th bedroom or home office option is also an easy add.

The laundry acts like a bit of a butler's pantry and like the kitchen with its generous breakfast bar and dishwasher has been renovated and is nothing like the original kitchen and laundry.

With so many different living space options, retirees who like to spread out and enjoy different rooms for different interests and occasions will love it, and so too will families who need more room for their kids and their mates to relax, without overtaking all of the adult living areas you need to stay sane during those teenage years.

Internal access from the garage and the big carport let you have plenty of off street parking for your 2 cars, your boat and trailer, or pop top camper or van, creating additional covered outdoor living for kids parties and when their mates come over, keeping them out of the house and not under your feet!

An all round winner, this estate promises much more generous blocks, with wilder streets and a more space from your neighbours, where owners are house and yard proud, and easy to get along with, all within easy strolling distance from schools, great beaches, and a lovely village cafe and hotel scene at Caves Beach.

Take the step to better living today, you won't regret it!
