Given the $810,000–$850,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $810,000–$850,000(Listing record · 30 July 2026)
  • FactLand 432 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationAsk is 17% above the Goulburn median recorded sale ($695,000, n=175, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Goulburn's advertised median rent ($500/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.21% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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 $500/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.2%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.”

Read more

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.

A Timeless Treasure in the Heart of Goulburn

Please enquire online to receive floorplan, virtual tour, contract, building and pest inspection and more photos.

Welcome to Button Bee Cottage, a beautifully preserved piece of Goulburn's history, originally built in 1876 and thoughtfully modernised without ever compromising its remarkable character. Positioned on one of Goulburn's treasured heritage streets, just moments from cafés, parks and the CBD, this is a home that celebrates the craftsmanship of another era while embracing the comforts of today.

Behind the recycled wrought iron fence, hand-forged gate and sandstone frontage, an established cottage garden creates an unforgettable first impression. A French blue front door, vintage security screen and flourishing camellias, peonies, hydrangeas and wisteria set the tone before you've even stepped inside.

Read the full description

From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the attention to detail that has made this home so special. Original timber floors, soaring ceilings, impressive 24cm skirting boards, double-hung windows, picture rails and elegant chandeliers combine to create a warmth that simply can't be replicated. Every modern improvement has been completed with respect for the home's heritage, right down to the original pull-cord light switches that still operate the new LED downlights.

Three generous bedrooms offer beautiful accommodation, with decorative fireplaces, abundant natural light and thoughtful additions including numerous double power points and gas heating points throughout. One of the original mantels was even carefully sourced from a heritage home in Balmain, adding another layer to the home's remarkable story.

The inviting lounge is the heart of the home, where a fireplace, feature windows and soft natural light create the perfect place to unwind. Flowing through to the spacious living and dining area, you'll discover built-in storage, a skylight, air conditioning and a unique walk-in storeroom, believed to have once served as the property's original meat store.

Recently completed in July 2026, the bathroom perfectly balances timeless style with contemporary luxury. Timber wall panelling, a generous vanity, standalone shower with recessed niche, black fittings, heat lamp and extensive towel storage create a space that feels both elegant and practical.

The kitchen is every bit as charming as it is functional. Original timber flooring, a striking Belling five-burner dual fuel cooker, dishwasher, breakfast bar, deep cottage windowsill and an abundance of cabinetry and power points make it a space you'll genuinely enjoy spending time in.

Open the timber sliding doors and the home continues to impress. The covered alfresco, complete with decorative Art Deco leadlight feature window and roll-down blinds effortlessly overlooking the lovely lawn, second entertaining area, rose hedges and a gated vegetable garden. Beyond this, you'll find an incredibly versatile collection of spaces including a studio, workshop, garage, storage, second shower, toilet and laundry, creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle whether you're entertaining friends, pursuing hobbies or simply enjoying the slower pace of cottage living.

Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. The home was rewired in 2016, features sensor lighting, solar panels and a heat pump hot water system, keeping electricity costs to around $50 per month (excluding rates), while providing all the modern conveniences expected for everyday living.

Homes like Button Bee Cottage are exceptionally rare. Lovingly preserved, thoughtfully updated and filled with stories waiting for their next chapter, this is more than a beautiful home. It is an opportunity to become the custodian of one of Goulburn's most enchanting heritage properties.
