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

View not ready — official layers are still retrieving for this property. Official planning layers still retrieving. Flood / bushfire / heritage not yet retrieved. No recorded sale price for this property. Districts does not score a property it cannot yet see.

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 1,799 m² against a 190 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

QLD

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?

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. 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.

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

    Unknown

Listing material

Listed by For Sale By Owner QLD

Beach/Holiday House in Paradise

This home is a large beachfront house on two levels on Prince of Wales Island in the Torres Strait. The 1799 square metre freehold allotment has a forty metre frontage. It is an easy ten minute commute by boat or school ferry to Thursday Island which is the main commercial centre. It is also an easy commute to Horn Island where the airport is located--a one and a half hour flight from Cairns.

The top floor contains living area, kitchen and full width viewing family room with views to include Thursday Island, Wednesday Island, Horn Island to Possession Island and Cape York. Walk through sliding glass doors to a full width balcony. An open veranda at the rear provides a laundry area and access to the elevated backyard.

From polished Cypress timber floors upstairs walk down the polished Kwela timber internal stairs. On the lower level you will find the master bedroom and two more bedrooms, all with built in cupboards, fans, ocean views and polished Cypress timber floors. Louvered glass allows sea breezes to cool the bedrooms also. Downstairs also has a large bathroom with shower, vanity and large counter and drawers. A separate toilet is off the hallway which connects to the side entrance door and storage room. This store room is aptly located ready to install solar power, batteries and controls.

Read the full description

The backyard contains the water tanks. A pressure pump is used to pump up the head tank (3000 litres) from the storage tanks: three 27,250 litre plastic tanks and three 10,000 litre fibreglass tanks. This gives a total storage capacity of 115,000 litres of rainwater. A solar hot water system supplies to the kitchen, bathroom and laundry tubs.

The kitchen has a four burner gas stove and oven and 500 litre fridge/freezer. The dining area has an American Oak eight-seater dining table and matching wall unit. Basic power supply is a Honda 2Kva generator. The house is solar ready for full time occupation for the owner's requirements.

This engineer designed building, constructed in 1989, consisted of large demit hotshot zinc portal frames and treated hardwood frame with hardiplank sheeting. The council approved septic system was appraised in 2010. The house is currently rented at $350 per week, and has previously been used as a guest house.

This home would suit retired persons, as an island home away from home, as a home for any individuals employed on Thursday or Horn Island, or any people who love the adventure of island living including fishing, hunting, camping, and boating. Prince of Wales Island has pristine beaches and campsites. There is excellent anchorage for all boat types.
