1950 build | 4-bed house on 416m² | Moana shoreline proximity | Bushfire overlay
This property presents a strong positional investment, combining a large, buildable lot in a sought-after coastal suburb with a recent, substantial valuation uplift. The 77% building coverage on a 416m² block offers clear potential for extension or future redevelopment, a key advantage in a tightly held location moments from the shore. It serves a buyer seeking a long-term hold with optionality, capitalising on Moana’s established demand and the scarcity of sizable parcels so close to the coastline. The four-bedroom configuration with modern finishes caters directly to the family market, which dominates this catchment.
The primary decision mechanism is the bushfire overlay, which imposes specific construction costs and potential insurance premiums that must be factored into the acquisition price. The absence of flood or heritage constraints is a positive. The 2024 purchase at $700,000 against a current $847,000 estimated value indicates significant short-term equity growth; sustaining this requires capital investment to modernise the 1950-built structure. Acquire as a strategic land bank with a liveable house, prioritising mitigation of the bushfire risk to protect asset value. The commercial logic is in holding the location while improving the dwelling to align with the suburb’s modern comfort expectations.
