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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $875,000 (28 July 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,012 m² against a 162 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in West End (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,088/m² of land (n=79). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $417/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.

A Secluded Hillside Sanctuary with Panoramic Views

Hidden away in one of West End's most prestigious hillside enclaves, this architecturally layered residence offers an extraordinary lifestyle where privacy, flexibility and breathtaking views come together in perfect harmony.

Set back from the street in a peaceful, secluded position, the home unfolds over two thoughtfully designed levels, each offering its own unique living experience. As you arrive, the lower level welcomes you with two generous bedrooms, one of which could effortlessly transform into a second living area, media room or guest retreat. A beautifully renovated bathroom services this level, creating endless possibilities for families, teenagers, guests or those working from home.

Wrapping around the home is an expansive balcony that seamlessly connects to terraced lawns below, creating multiple outdoor spaces to relax, entertain or simply soak in the elevated outlook.

Read the full description

Ascending to the upper level, the home truly reveals its showpiece. A grand entry foyer immediately captures uninterrupted 180-degree vistas, setting the tone for what lies beyond. A dedicated study nook provides the perfect work-from-home space before opening into an expansive living and dining domain, where walls of glass frame the spectacular outlook and invite the outdoors in.

At the heart of the home sits a beautifully appointed designer kitchen, created with entertaining in mind. Featuring elegant marble-look benchtops, quality brass fixtures, an abundance of cabinetry including a cleverly concealed appliance cupboard, and generous servery benches extending directly to the entertaining deck, every detail has been carefully considered to create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Two additional bedrooms, complete with custom built-in joinery, are privately positioned alongside a family bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for the whole family.

To the rear of the home, a generous laundry flows effortlessly to a second terraced entertaining area—a peaceful retreat to enjoy afternoon sunsets or explore the exciting potential to further enhance and expand the home in years to come.

Perfectly positioned moments from Castle Hill walking tracks, The Strand, Townsville CBD, quality schools and vibrant cafés, this remarkable residence offers a lifestyle rarely found and even more rarely available.

A home of this calibre is more than a residence—it's a private sanctuary where every level has been thoughtfully designed to embrace the landscape, celebrate the views and create a lifestyle that feels worlds away while remaining moments from everything Townsville has to offer.
