Given the $585,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $585,000(Listing record · 18 Aug 2026)

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: South Australia schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Rental yield

No rent is recorded for this listing. Enter a weekly rent to model yield.

Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.

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?

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.

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

    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.

Mike Lao, Joshua Boyd and Edge Realty RLA256385 are proud to present to the market this coastal shack in the quiet, Samphire-country township of Thompson Beach, a rare opportunity for those chasing a genuine seaside escape. Sitting on a 931sqm (approx) block, the home is sustainably equipped with solar panels and rainwater tanks, keeping running costs down while you enjoy the coastal lifestyle. The land size also leaves scope to extend the existing living space or add a workshop (Subject to Approval from Council & All Other Relevant Authorities - STCA). With much of the hard work already done, this property is ready for a new owner to finish the renovation and make it their own, whether that's a weekender, a downsizer's retreat, or a first home with room to grow.

Step inside to an open lounge and dining area, kept comfortable year round by split system air conditioning and finished with durable hybrid plank flooring, flowing straight through to the adjoining galley kitchen. Here you'll find a walk in pantry, a gas cooktop, overhead cupboards, and an island bench with a raised breakfast bar, all opening via glass sliding doors to the alfresco area for easy indoor outdoor entertaining.

The home offers three bedrooms, including two master suites each with their own three piece ensuite and private access to the alfresco through glass sliding doors, a rare and valuable feature for multigenerational living or hosting guests in comfort. A central bathroom and a well appointed laundry with built in cupboard, bench, and trough round out the practical side of the floorplan.

Outside, a rear verandah overlooks a backyard with scope to transform into your ideal garden or entertaining space, while the separate alfresco area with ceiling fan is perfect for warm coastal evenings. An external rumpus room or studio, set beneath a pitched roof with an exposed beam, adds fantastic flexibility as a home office, hobby space, or extra retreat. A double width garage with automatic roller doors and drive through access, plus an attached storage room, completes the package with everyday convenience.

Key features you'll love about this home:

- Solar system with 6 panels

- Substantial rainwater storage across 3 tanks

- Split system air-conditioning in the lounge and both master suites

- Double garage with automatic roller doors and drive-through access

- External rumpus with pitched roof

Thompson Beach offers pristine waters just moments away, with fishing and crabbing on your doorstep, and sits within the Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary for those who love native wildlife.
