58 Babar Drive, Officer VIC 3809

Near-new build in Officer | 3-bed duplex-style on compact lot | Zoned for Kurrun Primary | Low-maintenance for first-home or investor This property offers a rare combination of near-new construction and a price point that avoids the premium often attached to larger lots in the corridor. The 171m² floorplan on 263m² is efficient—two living zones, ducted heating and cooling, and a double garage—making it a strong entry for buyers who prioritise low upkeep over land banking. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays simplifies due diligence, and the school zoning adds a layer of demand stability. This house suits first-home buyers seeking a turnkey move-in option or investors targeting the sub-$700k rental bracket. The compact lot limits future subdivision potential and means the property is more exposed to oversupply risk in new estates. The 2019 sale price of $259,000 reflects raw land value before construction, so the current price is almost entirely driven by the building—meaning depreciation schedules and build quality matter more than location scarcity. The upside here is rental yield, not capital growth, unless the corridor tightens further. Hold for cash flow, not speculation.
