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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,325,000 (9 July 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 558 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Shoal Bay (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,245/m² of land (n=50). 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

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $563/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

TRANQUIL COASTAL LIVING WITH EXCEPTIONAL OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING

Have you ever walked into a property and instantly felt like you had arrived... home!

81 Government Road is certainly a home that creates all the feels. From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of calm, warmth, and ease.

The soft sheers across the front window gently filter the natural light, creating a beautiful sense of tranquility. They bring the outside in, soften the entire room, and give the home a peaceful, welcoming feeling from the very beginning. There is a lovely warmth here, the kind that makes you want to slow down, take a breath, and imagine yourself living in the space. It feels loved, comfortable and genuinely inviting.

Read the full description

Designed for both family living and effortless entertaining, the home offers four generous bedrooms and multiple living zones, allowing everyone their own place to relax while remaining connected. The kitchen truly forms the heart of the home, overlooking the living spaces and creating the perfect environment for family dinners, long conversations and everyday moments that become lifelong memories. A skylight floods the space with natural light, adding to the home’s bright and welcoming atmosphere.

The master suite feels like its own private retreat. Beautifully separated, it flows through to its ensuite and an impressive dressing room, creating a sanctuary to begin and end each day.

As you continue through the home, you’ll discover something that makes this property truly special, its collection of hidden oasis. Every turn reveals another inviting space, another reason to stay just a little longer. The undercover verandah seamlessly connects the indoors with the outdoors, opening into what feels like your own private sanctuary. Framed by beautifully established succulent gardens, this peaceful space feels wonderfully removed from the everyday, yet you are only moments from the sand and shoreline of Shoal Bay Beach.

The private resort-style sanctuary is nothing short of exceptional. With built-in cabinetry, barbecue facilities, refrigeration, plenty of prep space and loads of room to sit back and relax, this is the kind of outdoor entertaining area you’ll want to use all year round.

Whether you’re hosting family celebrations, watching the football with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet Sunday afternoon, this space becomes the destination. Add the spa, television area and surrounding tropical gardens, and you have an outdoor retreat that many luxury resorts would envy. The outdoor spaces continue to surprise, with additional courtyards and private areas, including an outdoor shower, perfect after returning from the beach. Every element has been carefully considered to embrace the relaxed coastal lifestyle that Shoal Bay is renowned for.

Storage and versatility are equally impressive. A double garage provides secure parking along with additional driveway space for multiple vehicles. Beyond this, another substantial garage or workshop area with an extra bathroom offers endless possibilities, ideal for storing a caravan, camper, boat or additional vehicles while still providing exceptional storage, and add 22 solar panels for added power efficiency.

Adding even more flexibility is a separate rumpus or retreat accessed through the garage. Whether you envision a teenager’s retreat, a man cave, games room, home gym, studio or work-from-home office, this generous space allows your lifestyle to evolve with your needs.

The charming front porch provides yet another place to unwind. Sit with your morning coffee, and watch the neighborhood come to life, embracing the slower pace that makes Shoal Bay so highly sought after.

Perfectly positioned between Shoal Bay Beach and Fingal Bay Beach, you’ll enjoy the incredible privilege of living where people travel from all over Australia to holiday. Morning walks along the coastline, afternoons by the water and evenings entertaining family and friends become part of everyday life.

Some homes are measured by bedrooms and bathrooms. Others are measured by the memories they create and the feeling they leave behind.

81 Government Road is unquestionably one of those homes.
