  • FactLand 1,033 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Penola (last 5 years) with land size: median $346/m² of land (n=41). 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

SA

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 $312/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.

Read the full description

Four or five bedrooms (you choose), two living spaces, two bathrooms, shedding, space, and location. Properties of this calibre are extremely rare in Penola. But this property is next level; A recent overhaul by a talented team of designers makes this home unrivaled, especially in this thriving property market.

The entire home has recently undergone an extensive renovation and the results are truly breathtaking. The scene is well and truly set at the entrance; An attractive front porch finished with character tiles under foot. Through the front door; A generous entrance with both width and high ceilings. Here, in the original part of the house the character is evident in the tall skirtings, panelled doors and timber detailing.

Somehow, the design has cleverly blended the old, together with a new addition - A contemporary open plan living, dining and kitchen. A light & bright space that has a warm and inviting atmosphere and of course a slow combustion fire (essential for winters like these). The new kitchen is the star of the show, and no expense has been spared. With a plethora of bench space, marble tiles, high quality cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. This area extends seamlessly through double doors to a paved outdoor entertaining area and the lawn beyond.

The solid stone home is huge. Perfect for families it offers three large bedrooms at the front of the property, with a large master at the rear. In addition, a loft can be found upstairs which would be ideal as a fifth bedroom, office or storage area.

A second living area at the front of the home is full of cosy character, and both bathrooms are in good condition.

Outside continues to impress; A huge three car garage (individual roller doors), a workshop and additional storage shed. The property also boasts a newly installed 6.6kw solar system as well as rainwater, ample parking (+ ability to turn the car around), and plenty of space for children to play.

Leave the car in the garage - the location couldn't be more central or convenient; Literally one door down from the Penola park, playground, pool and one minute away from the many cafes, retail outlets and amenities that Penola has to offer. You're also within walking distance to all three schools, supermarket, and sporting complex.

This property ticks all the boxes - space, comfort, style, location, and flexibility with a huge four or five bedrooms. Despite this size, the home would also lend itself to a retiree or executive couple with the ability to simply live in the rear of the home or convert a bedroom or two to home offices now that remote working is becoming more prevalent. The property would make an ideal high-end accommodation option for the busy Penola / Coonawarra tourist trade.
