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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 748 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Encounter Bay (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,156/m² of land (n=122). 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

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 $545/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.

Coastal Escape with Sea & Island Views

Found in one of the more sought-after locations in Encounter Bay, you will discover this immaculately presented seaside getaway built Circa 1990. The home built of Western Red Cedar weatherboard construction, features stunning cathedral timber raked ceilings with mighty Ironbark posts, sourced from the old Port Adelaide Wool Stores. The exceptional ceiling height adds to the wonderful sense of space and relaxed feel you experience in the upstairs open plan living area. Large picture windows capture the spectacular views on offer, taking in Granite and Wright Islands and "The Bluff" at Encounter Bay. New hybrid flooring upstairs and down in a limewashed tone adds to the beach vibe and contrasts beautifully against the timber ceiling and the freshly painted white walls of the living area. Two-way access is provided to the balcony via French Doors from both the living/dining room, as well as the master bedroom. Zip track blinds add to the amenity. The modern kitchen comes with an induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher, with breakfast bar, plenty of bench and cupboard space and handy walk-in pantry. Two bedrooms are found upstairs, both with built-in robes and ceiling fans. The main bathroom comes with bath, shower and vanity, with separate wc.

Downstairs is equally spacious, with internal access to the garage - the new floor and large light filled windows adding to the sense of space and the holiday beach vibe. The two downstairs bedrooms are both accessed from the living room - both with built-in robes and ceiling fans. The downstairs bathroom/laundry comes with shower, vanity and wc. The fully lined drive through garage has an auto roller door to the roadside and a manual lift roller door to the backyard. A workshop adjoins the garage. Both the front and back garden areas are well established - the backyard fully fenced and secure, with easy-care lawns available for both children and pets to play! A very handy storage shed perfect for storing bikes, surfboards and golf clubs completes the improvements.

Additional features of the home include two reverse cycle split air-conditioners and a gas fire upstairs, another reverse cycle split downstairs, NBN connection, new roller shutters on the roadside windows and security screens to the external doors. The wide brick paved driveway provides off-street parking for an additional four vehicles, plus there is a designated park for either a boat or caravan.

This fabulous getaway is found on 748m2 (approx) allotment, just a short walk away from the esplanade at Franklin Parade. The views are magical - nothing beats a full moon shing across the bay at night! The sunrises are mesmerising, and the lifestyle will be sure to make you the envy of both your family and friends. A two- or three-minute drive will have you at the boat ramp at "The Bluff" as well as "Whalers Seaside" restaurant found next to it. Take a walk around to Petrel Cove and walk the "Heysen Trail" along the rugged Waitpinga cliffs and watch the waves crash against the shore. A more leisurely walk toward Victor Harbor will take you passed the iconic Yilki Store and Beach House Café. So much to do and so much fun to be had!

A very exciting new lifestyle beckons - make sure you're not the one to miss it!
