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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,085,000 (15 May 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 1,161 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Narara (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,537/m² of land (n=126). 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 $682/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.

Read the full description

Discover an exceptional opportunity to own a spacious family residence with a commercial shop perfectly positioned on the same 1,161m² waterfront reserve block. This impressive property effortlessly blends a large family home with a purpose-built commercial space, offering an unparalleled lifestyle that caters to both residential comfort and business potential.

Step inside the expansive family home, where four well-appointed bedrooms — all complete with built-in robes — ensure ample storage and convenience. The generous open-plan living areas create a harmonious flow throughout the home, while a substantial family room presents the versatility to be transformed into a potential fifth bedroom, an inviting space for relaxation, or an inspiring creative area. Three separate bathrooms, including a private ensuite to the master, elevate the daily routine, and additional thoughtful touches include a handy kitchenette on the lower level, perfect for informal meals or entertaining guests, and a fully equipped kitchen upstairs boasting a nearly new fridge-freezer that promises both style and functionality.

Designed to maximize comfort in every season, the home features ducted air-conditioning on the upper level and a split-system unit downstairs, ensuring a cool retreat from the Australian heat. Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces beckon you to embrace alfresco living. Enjoy lazy afternoons on the full-length covered deck at the ground level, or elevate your evenings on the equally impressive, covered balcony upstairs. A dedicated pool area enhances the lifestyle experience, complete with its own covered deck, a striking hexagonal bandstand-style deck, an in-ground salt-water swimming pool, and a luxurious hydro-spa situated on the bottom deck — ideal for unwinding after a long day.

At the rear of the property, a purpose-built shop awaits, having formerly served as a long-standing seafood outlet. This well-designed commercial space comes complete with a counter display cabinet, a dedicated fridge, a twin industrial sink, and an efficient workspace featuring a fourth toilet and shower, making it ready for immediate business use or simply set it up to your liking ready to work from home. In addition to five secure garages — one of which now houses cool rooms and an industrial ice maker — the property offers parking for up to eight additional vehicles and even has room for a large caravan, motor home, or boat.

Waterfront enthusiasts will relish the direct access to Narara Creek, where its saltwater mingles with the playful presence of plentiful fish. For boat lovers and keen fishers, the convenience of launching your boat directly from your own backyard means weekends spent navigating Brisbane Water, where bream, flathead, and silver trevally await. Kayaks are included as an extra bonus, ensuring you are ready to explore the serene waterways at a moment’s notice.

As the day winds down, enjoy a peaceful moment on the veranda, where golden light filters through the trees, and the gentle rustling of leaves reminds you that this isn’t just a property — it’s a sanctuary.

Location is key, and this property does not disappoint. A brief three-minute journey takes you to Narara Station and the bustling Wyoming Shopping Centre, while Gosford High School and St Philips Christian College are conveniently located just 1.2 kilometres away. Gosford Hospital is within easy reach, and with the M1 motorway accessible in under 10 kilometres from either the Ourimbah or Gosford turn-offs, connectivity is never an issue.

If you’ve ever dreamed of a lifestyle where business meets tranquility, where nature is your neighbour, and where every day feels like a retreat, then this is the place for you.

Come and see what makes this home, shop, and little slice of paradise so special. Nigel might even say hello!
