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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $880,000 (7 July 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Maclean (last 5 years) with land size: median $710/m² of land (n=51). 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 $534/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.

SOLD By LJ Hooker Maclean

Style and comfort combine for idyllic North Coast lifestyle

The North Coast of NSW is becoming one of the most desired locations for people seeking a sea change and Maclean is on the radar of those looking for a lifestyle change. A home like this offers a difference in the market place that doesn't come up that often.

The home was first conceptualised with a local Clarence Valley Builder (John Ayres) and was designed to ensure great comfort in our sub-tropical environment in all seasons. The design guarantees natural light and airflow to filter through all the rooms.

Read the full description

From there the owners decided that no expense would be spared in creating a family home of the highest quality. Aspect and orientation were paramount when designing the four bedroom home. Separate living areas provide an escape to a quiet environment. The country kitchen flows into the second living space adjacent to the kitchen with gas stove and plenty of cupboard space plus a huge walk in pantry fit for the budding chef. These areas flow into the separate formal lounge and onto the wide verandahs with views of the Clarence River and Woodford Island hinterland.

Three spacious bedrooms are on the street level including the main bedroom and ensuite with walk in wardrobe. On the lower level is a fully contained bedroom, lounge and bathroom. Ideal for those that work from home, a fantastic teenagers retreat or could it be some extra income with an Air B & B set up?

Also on the lower level is a huge workshop area for those who love to tinker. Plenty of stand up space, benches, power and hot and cold water with access from the side of the home or lower guest room. Add to this a large 7.6 KW/h Solar supply with 10 KW/h inverter solar supply back to the grid system and 2 X water tanks (1 6,000 Litres), you have a well rounded residence.

Whilst the block has a very gentle slope, the entire near ÃÆ'â€Å¡¼ acre is beautifully landscaped with a mature English themed styled garden and established fruit orchard. At the side of the home raised garden beds full of seasonal vegetables allows a touch of self-sufficiency. The owners have put in hundreds of hours in this magnificent garden and you only have to look at the pictures to appreciate that hard work.

With the newly upgraded M1 now complete, access to the Clarence Valley has never been better and Maclean now has much to offer people looking to settle here. A brand new shopping centre in the centre of the CBD, the district Maclean hospital, and the bustling coffee and food culture thriving in Maclean gives confidence about the area's future.

When Maclean people think about where is the spot to go for holidays, walking the dogs or afternoon swims, Brooms Head is that location. For many years now, this beachside location has been the annual holiday for many, and the residents of Maclean are only a short 15 minute drive to access this wonderful part of Australia. Wide open, children friendly beaches, fabulous fishing and a small community of people which allow the local community access to beaches without the crowds.

Comfort is at a premium from the living rooms to the bathrooms and bedrooms. Both owners and guests have five star facilities at their fingertips. To appreciate the true ambience of this home you are welcome to complete an organised inspection.
