  • FactLand 32,901 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mount Helena (last 5 years) with land size: median $312/m² of land (n=106). 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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 32,901 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 $649/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

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

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 32,901 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • 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.

A Romantic Hideaway, Rich in History

As you rise with the sun peeking through the towering gum trees, you'll wonder how you got so lucky when you found this property. This six-bedroom, three-bathroom character home tells a rich story of its origins in Bassendean before being relocated decades later to Mt Helena. The current owners have been the custodians of this extraordinary home for 25 years, where they raised their family and now it is time for you to write the next chapter.

Much of the original cottage built in 1950's has been lovingly restored, with additional bedrooms and living spaces added over the years. These extensions sympathetic to the era showcase many features carried through between the original and newer parts of the home, including high ceilings and jarrah floorboards – looking for the clues where the old meets the new adds to the intrigue.

With 276sqm of living space, this home offers loads of space for families with a parent's retreat tucked away in a separate wing, including a dedicated lounge and a large dressing room. The spacious primary bedroom and ensuite with a spa bath open onto a private deck with sweeping views of gum trees where the kookaburras and kangaroos are your only neighbours. Also in this wing is a dedicated study or the sixth bedroom with an entrance leading to a wrap-around veranda, accommodating those working from home and creative ventures in this idyllic location.

Read the full description

Despite the plentiful rooms, this gorgeous home feels cosy, inviting you to kick your shoes off and snuggle up in the many nooks and crannies or host memorable get-togethers with your favourite people in the open-plan living room and gourmet kitchen, sunny dining room or outdoor cabana overlooking the pool. Year-round entertaining is one highlight of living in the hills, where the wood-burning heater inspires toasty nights while the pool and spa keep the party going all summer.

It might feel like a million miles away from anywhere, but you're only around the corner from the Mount Helena Tavern, White's Mill and Grind café, Mt Helena Deli, tennis, swimming and the day spa at Amaroo Retreat. The kids can ride to school to Mount Helena Primary School or Eastern Hills Senior High School, or it's a short drive to the primary and secondary campuses of Mundaring Christian College. Easy access to Great Eastern Highway will have you in moments in Sawyers Valley, Mundaring, Glen Forrest, Darlington or Midland.

Set on a 3.29-hectare (8.13 acres) corner block, this stunning home offers the best of both worlds – all the amenities you could ever desire and an abundance of nature. Cindy & Alistair is ready for your enquiry at cindyandalistair@theagency.com.au or 0411 208 202 & 0402 785 877
