Given the $1,100,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,100,000(Listing record · 27 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationLand 101,200 m² against a 731 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

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?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

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.

0 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

    Unknown

    No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

  • 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.

Freedom Ridge - 25 Acres of Endless Possibilities - Ocean Mountain Island Views

Some properties are simply bought.

Others are discovered.

Welcome to Freedom Ridge — a remarkable lifestyle property where approximately 25 acres of space, privacy, established infrastructure and spectacular rural, mountain, ocean and island outlooks combine to create an opportunity unlike anything else on the market.

Read the full description

As you pass through the gates, the pace begins to slow. Established tracks wind through the property, the landscape opens and glimpses toward the coast begin to appear. It's a place that reminds you of something becoming increasingly difficult to find — room to breathe, space to create and the freedom to imagine what comes next.

Whether you're searching for a peaceful family retreat, an off-grid lifestyle, a place to build your forever home, serious shed space for your vehicles, boats and machinery, or a property with established infrastructure that may support future lifestyle or business aspirations (subject to the necessary approvals), Freedom Ridge provides an extraordinary foundation.

An Extraordinary Shed & Established Infrastructure

At the heart of Freedom Ridge is a substantial engineered, cyclone-rated shed that forms the centrepiece of the property.

The scale becomes apparent the moment you step inside. Expansive open areas, high clearance, workshop and storage zones provide exceptional capacity for vehicles, boats, machinery, equipment, recreational gear and serious hobbies.

For buyers who have been searching for acreage with genuine shed space, this is an increasingly rare find.

A dedicated power room houses the property's off-grid solar and battery system. The building incorporates an extensive solar installation and multiple batteries providing the infrastructure for independent living.

Within the main building are further practical spaces including a fully lined room, bathroom facilities and a unique fold-out building positioned beneath the protection of the shed, providing additional living and accommodation spaces while you contemplate the property's next chapter.

Another unusual feature is the approximately 12-metre pool structure within the main building. Currently non-operational, it presents an opportunity for the next owner to investigate completing or repurposing the space. The area was designed with a hard pool cover allowing the space above to be utilised as a stage.

A Homesite With a View

Adding another dimension to Freedom Ridge is an elevated potential homesite with completed soil testing, positioned to take advantage of an impressive outlook across the surrounding countryside toward the mountains, ocean and offshore islands.

Imagine designing a home specifically for the site, capturing the changing landscape and distant coastal outlook while enjoying the privacy of your own acreage.

Designed for an Off-Grid Lifestyle

Freedom Ridge has been established with self-sufficiency in mind.

Approximately 100,000 litres of rainwater storage, an off-grid solar and battery system and an approved septic system provide substantial existing infrastructure.

Beyond the main building, established tracks connect different areas of the property through a diverse landscape of cleared spaces, established gardens and natural bushland.

Fruit trees and productive vegetable gardens are already established, while fenced areas provide practical options for animals, chickens and pets.

There is room here for the boat, caravan, trailers, machinery, recreational equipment — and then some.

The Dam, Jetty & A Little Adventure

Then there's the seasonal dam.

Nestled within the natural landscape and complete with its own jetty, it's another unexpected element of Freedom Ridge.

And in keeping with the personality of this property, there's even a long waterslide running down toward the dam — a wonderfully unconventional feature that captures the adventurous spirit of the place.

Country Freedom, Coastal Lifestyle, City Connection

For all its privacy and sense of escape, Freedom Ridge remains connected to the places and services that make everyday life practical.

Seaforth township, beaches, swimming enclosure and boat ramps are only 5 minutes away, while Mackay is approximately a 35-minute drive and Mackay Airport approximately 40 minutes away.

For families, Seaforth State School provides local primary schooling, while school bus services operate for secondary students travelling into Mackay, including services for Mackay North State High School and Holy Spirit College.

It means you can enjoy acreage, privacy and the coastal lifestyle without completely disconnecting from the city, schools, employment, healthcare and transport connections of Mackay.

25 Acres of Possibility

Perhaps one of Freedom Ridge's greatest strengths is its versatility.

The combination of approximately 25 acres, substantial existing infrastructure and an elevated soil-tested homesite gives the next owner an exceptional platform from which to explore their own ideas.

Perhaps you'll simply enjoy Freedom Ridge as the wonderfully private lifestyle property it is today.

Perhaps you'll build your forever home and enjoy the shed, gardens, dam, tracks and acreage around you.

Or perhaps you'll investigate future possibilities such as boutique accommodation, eco-glamping, a hospitality or wellness venue, live music or jazz events, creative workshops, tourism experiences or a home-based business — all subject to the relevant council and other approvals and the buyer's own investigations.

Whatever your vision, Freedom Ridge offers something increasingly difficult to replicate:

Land. Infrastructure. Privacy. Views. And possibility.

All of this is located just minutes from Seaforth township, beautiful beaches and boat ramps, allowing you to retreat into your own private world without giving up access to the coast and local community.

Some buyers will appreciate the land.

Others will appreciate the infrastructure.

The right buyer will recognise the opportunity.

Freedom Ridge.
