Rural retreat near Katherine | 6-bed on 2.06 ha | pool, solar, shed | last traded 1996 at $51.5k | rental yield 4.6–5.2% at midpoint This property offers a rare combination of scale and infrastructure on a single title near a regional centre – the 2.06 ha block with a fully fenced yard, in-ground pool, grey water system, and substantial shed makes it effectively a self-contained lifestyle holding. The six-bedroom configuration, though partly informal, suits a buyer seeking multi-generational use, home-based business space, or short-term rental potential in a market where comparable rural homes are scarce. Solar hot water and panels, plus a water tank, reduce ongoing utility exposure, and the cul-de-sac position with no overlay constraints simplifies future changes. The strongest buyer position here is for someone who values privacy and land use flexibility over proximity to services, and who can capitalise on the rental upside of $740–$960 per week against a purchase in the $890k–$1m range. The principal risk is limited comparability and thin local demand – the last sale was thirty years ago, and the property sits outside Katherine’s core residential zone, which may lengthen holding periods if resale is needed within five years. The 1006 m² building footprint is large relative to the block, so future subdivision is unlikely without rezoning. However, the absence of flood or bushfire overlays and reliable 4G and satellite internet remove common rural deal-breakers. For a buyer prepared to hold at least seven years, this functions as a low-turnover lifestyle asset with solid rental cover; the logical use is owner-occupation with a portion leased, or as a private retreat with part-time income.
