9 Barnes Street, Woolgoolga NSW 2456

Secure, level block | three-tiered privacy | walkable Woolgoolga | renovated interior | strong rental yield. This property presents a rare combination of a fully fenced, three-tiered block with a renovated interior, placing it well above the typical Woolgoolga offering. The 179m² floorplan, with its oversized main bedroom and dedicated deck space, is configured for families or couples seeking low-maintenance coastal living with immediate amenity access. Its 28% building coverage and 640m² lot provide a genuine edge in a market where outdoor space is increasingly valued. The property is best suited to owner-occupiers wanting a turnkey home or investors targeting the reliable $650–$780 per week rental bracket, supported by 69% owner-occupancy in the street. The primary risk is the $875,000 list price, which sits near the upper bound of the $740k–$910k estimated range and above the suburb median of $845k. This premium requires justification through the renovation quality and the block’s privacy features, which are not fully captured by comparable sales. The 68% appreciation since 2021 is a market tailwind, not a repeatable one. The opportunity lies in negotiating toward the $820k–$850k zone, where the rental yield (3.3–3.6%) and growth profile (4.9% suburb growth) align. Hold for at least five years to capture further coastal demand, or lease immediately to offset holding costs.
