Given the $330,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $330,000(Listing record · 14 Feb 2026)
  • FactLand 911 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

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

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.

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

    Unknown

  • 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.

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

Listing material

Listed by Elders Real Estate Eyre Peninsula

Great Location, Quaint Cottage in Main Street – Endless Potential - Price Reduced

Perfectly positioned in the heart of the stunning coastal town of Smoky Bay-where the oysters are plentiful, the locals are welcoming, and visitors never want to leave-this charming 1960s cottage presents an exciting opportunity to secure a prime slice of seaside living.

Set on a generous 911m² allotment right on the main street, the property is within an easy five-minute stroll to everything that makes Smoky Bay so special. Enjoy convenient access to the jetty, pristine beach, state-of-the-art boat ramp, General Store/Post Office, community playground, sports complex, and golf course. Whether you're casting a line, heading out on the boat, or enjoying a relaxed beachside walk, it's all at your doorstep.

Classic Charm with Solid Foundations

Read the full description

Privately nestled behind a short brick fence and sheltered by established front garden trees, the home is well protected from coastal winds and harsh weather. The rendered concrete exterior in soft grey tones gives the cottage a fresh and welcoming street presence.

A three-metre-wide front verandah provides a sheltered entry into the cosy lounge, complete with reverse cycle air conditioning, wood combustion heater, and two stylish three-light glass pendant fixtures. Carpeted flooring enhances comfort in the lounge and two front bedrooms.

Both bedrooms are light-filled, each featuring ceiling fans and windows on two separate walls to maximise natural light and airflow.

Functional Layout with Scope to Modernise

The kitchen offers generous bench and cupboard space along two walls, overhead cabinetry, room for a fridge, single sink, gas oven and cooktop, and vinyl flooring throughout. While perfectly functional, this space presents a fantastic opportunity for a modern upgrade to truly transform the heart of the home.

The rear porch (also vinyl floored) leads to a tiled bathroom and separate toilet, along with a small third bedroom with a concrete floor. The bathroom includes built-in cabinetry with laminated benchtop and single basin, a three-door mirrored wall cabinet, and a step-up shower with glass sliding door.

Outdoor Features & Future Possibilities

Outside, the property features:

• 3m wide semi-enclosed rear verandah with shade cloth

• Built-in brick barbecue

• Approx. 1,200-gallon rainwater tank (servicing drinking water and garden)

• Lawn area, fruit trees, and established grapevines

• 3m x 5m garden shed with concrete floor and shelving

• Single garage with extended lean-to

• External laundry with double wash trough and adjoining storage room

There is enormous potential here. Removal of the existing garage and lean-to would create ample space for a substantial new shed-ideal for securely housing both boat and vehicle out of the weather.

Invest, Renovate, or Relax

With solid bones and an unbeatable central location, this property is ready for its next chapter. Renovate and modernise to create a charming coastal retreat, secure a holiday home, establish a rental investment, or settle in permanently to enjoy fishing, water sports, beachside living, and the strong sense of community Smoky Bay is known for.

With very limited properties currently available in Smoky Bay, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.

A visual video is available to view online, the price has been reduced to sell.
