44 Mantis Circuit, Tarneit VIC 3029

5-bedroom double-storey new build | 81% site coverage | strong school zoning | only listing on street The property’s configuration as a near-new 5-bedroom house on a 400m² lot with 81% building coverage is competitively rare in Tarneit’s newer estates, where most comparables sacrifice bedroom count or living space. The two separate living areas plus a study, combined with ducted heating and air conditioning, serve large families or those wanting a dedicated home office. Its position as the only current listing on Mantis Circuit, in a street of 27 owner-occupied houses, signals limited local supply and reduces negotiation leverage for a buyer serious about this pocket. The primary risk is the high land-to-building ratio, which leaves minimal outdoor space and may limit future extension or resale appeal to buyers wanting a larger yard. The price gap between listings suggests the seller may be testing the market, offering a buyer opportunity to negotiate toward the lower end of the recent $840k–$900k sale range. The zoning for Tarneit P-9 and Senior College adds long-term rental or family buyer demand. Hold this property as a long-term family home or rent it to a professional household; it is not a short-term flip candidate.
