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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 89,031 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Port Elliot (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,181/m² of land (n=68). 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

SA

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $505/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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. 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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 Harris South Coast

Architectural Elegance Framed by Breathtaking Fleurieu Views

Piercing. Uninterrupted. Encapsulating. This bespoke residence was designed and built in the late 1990s by one of SA's most renowned architects. Perfectly positioned on approximately 22 acres of scenic land, it boasts some of the best uninterrupted coastal views that the Fleurieu has to offer. A modernist pioneer, the architect created an oasis of calm – a home expansive enough for memorable gatherings, yet intimate enough for a couple's retreat.

The residence is located just outside the popular tourist town of Port Elliot and only 80 km south of Adelaide. This stunning, environmentally friendly stone home oozes quality and takes in breathtaking sea views from Port Elliot to Hindmarsh Island, the Murray Mouth and the wild expanse of the Coorong.

The property itself comprises multiple dams, paddocks and some of the prettiest countryside available. This land has abundant flora and fauna, a wildlife refuge for kangaroos, echidnas and plenty of birdlife; such serenity is difficult to replicate.

Read the full description

Upon entering the home, you will be captivated by the sea and country views, seen through the double glazed floor to ceiling windows. The high quality 2 pack kitchen will make cooking a breeze, with stainless steel appliances and a walk in pantry. The kitchen overlooks the open plan dining room and extensive family room with solid jarrah floating floor, built in bookshelves, freestanding open fireplace and massive stone walls built of Monarto limestone, which is featured throughout the home.

The main building comprises two bedrooms and luxurious bathroom that literally pulls the views inside. Purpose-built viewing decks capturing coastal panoramas as far as the eye can see. Adding architectural drama, the undercover columned breezeway acts as a promenade to a private guest wing: a one bedroom, one bathroom studio with its own breathtaking sweep of sea and rural vistas.

Down on the flat and among the trees predating the main house, lies a 2nd dwelling, the original farmhouse, hosting four bedrooms, kitchen, lounge room, plus separate shedding. It has been used in recent years to accommodate visiting family and as storage but could make a great rental opportunity if desired. Please contact agent for rental appraisal.

Other features include:

- High ceilings

- Extensive rainwater storage and dual fire protection systems

- Environmentally friendly septic system

- 3 fenced paddocks

- 3 dams (one currently dry)

- 9 x 6 m double garage

- Split system reverse cycle air conditioning

- 2 cellars under house

- Established garden areas merging with natural bushland

This remarkable lifestyle property offers an unparalleled opportunity to embrace the very best of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Every moment unfolds against a backdrop of inspired architectural design and breathtaking natural beauty.

Without question, it's among the most extraordinary properties we've had the privilege to present.
