No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
SAPlanning 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $386/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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
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
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.

UnknownPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood

Statutory land value versus ask

Listing material
Listed by Century 21 Kangaroo IslandWith 180-degree views over Kingscote shores and Nepean Bay, it's hard to decide if this 4-bedroom house is your ideal family home or a luxurious beach house – perhaps it's both!
This spacious 2008-built property is unique and can't be compared to the average Kingscote home in so many ways.
If location is king, then this house must be crowned as one of the best in Kingscote, with uninterrupted views from the mainland windfarms at Rapid Bay to the Cygnet River mouth, and a 30m frontage to take best advantage of the spectacular views.
With four bedrooms, a separate office, sunroom and 80m2 of living area tiled in quality Italian ceramic tiles, this house is larger than it looks from the street – and that's just where the story starts.
The hidden extras at this property are extensive. Under-floor heating throughout the combined lounge, dining and kitchen provides ambient winter comfort and a separate system heats the en-suite floor – all supported by an 8kw solar system with 32 panels on the north-facing rear roof.
Reverse cycle air-conditioner in the sun-room will keep you cool, complemented by ceiling fans in each room.
All internal walls are lined with acoustic insulation and the doors are solid, creating a calm and quiet environment and privacy for each room. All timber in the construction has been termite-proofed.
A brand new gas demand hot water system supplies the bathrooms and a 22,000 litre rainwater tank is plumbed to the house.
The main bedroom with its bay window is designed to maximise views and comfort. It has a new walk-in robe and an en-suite that is larger than most conventional bathrooms. There are no glass shower screens to clean, with a huge walk-through shower and choice of two shower styles – conventional and rain shower heads.
Three more generous bedrooms all have built-in cupboards and a large linen press completes the ample storage.
The second bathroom has a full-sized bath and a separate toilet with handbasin. A third toilet off the laundry means you and your guests will never be caught short!
This split-level home flooded with natural light features a stunning stone wall to divide levels. Clean but interesting internal angles accommodate the shape of the 873m2 block and the soothing neutral palette throughout is just waiting for you to add your own style and colour. A raked ceiling in the living area and 9-foot (2.7m) ceilings in every room add to your sense of space and comfort.
The kitchen and living area are newly repainted and refurbished, as are the en-suite and the outside. In many ways, this home presents as a new house.
The fourth bedroom is currently disposed as a second office, with views on to the garden creating a perfect work-from-home scenario.
Outside amenities are also taken care of with an established ultra-private rear garden. Separate pergola, a carport under the main roof, a 4m x 6m storage shed (with power), screening trees and custom-built retaining walls provide privacy and utility. Fruit trees and a vegetable garden with raised beds and interesting spaces will please gardeners.
Lifestyle benefits extend beyond the property, with easy access to the Kingscote foreshore walking/cycling path just over the road and a choice of beaches to exercise and walk. The main street of Kingscote is just a 15-minute walk or three-minute drive, and the Kangaroo Island Yacht Club is even closer.
