It is the agent's own wording for what the seller is asking, printed as they wrote it. Byrz does not turn it into a figure of its own, and it is neither a valuation nor what the home will sell for.

Modern Comfort meets Rural lifestyle on 3.4 acres
Set on a sprawling 3.4 acres in Duns Creek, this classic home is the perfect country escape. Designed for relaxed family living, the property blends timeless appeal with contemporary inclusions, delivering space, privacy and a genuine connection to its natural surroundings. This creates an ideal setting for families seeking room to grow and enjoy a peaceful lifestyle.
Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home enjoys an elevated setting that captures expansive and uninterrupted rural views, creating a peaceful, private retreat. From the moment you step inside, the layout feels generous and inviting, with a spacious open plan design that brings together the kitchen, dining and living areas as the true heart of the home.
The contemporary kitchen is both practical and stylish, offering abundant bench space and statement pendant lighting, ideal for busy family life or hosting gatherings. The adjoining living and dining zone is enhanced by a wood fireplace that creates warmth and character, while split system air conditioning and ceiling fans ensure comfort throughout the year. Solar panels further enhance the home's efficiency, helping to reduce energy costs while supporting sustainable living.
An enclosed Queensland room further extends the living space, providing a versatile area perfect as a children's retreat, games room or additional entertaining zone. Complete with its own split system, this room enhances the floorplan's flexibility and connects seamlessly with the outdoor areas.
The master bedroom is generously proportioned and features built-in robes along with a modern ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are all well-sized and include built-in wardrobes, serviced by a neatly appointed main bathroom with a relaxing bathtub, creating a functional and family-friendly layout.
Outdoor living is a standout feature, with multiple decks positioned around the home to take advantage of its elevated setting. The covered deck overlooking the pool is complete with downlights, creating an inviting space for evening entertaining or relaxed weekend gatherings, while additional outdoor areas provide different perspectives of the surrounding rural landscape.
With no neighbours at the rear and a natural line of trees surrounding much of the property, the home enjoys exceptional privacy and a peaceful sense of rural seclusion. The acreage itself offers plenty of room for children to explore, outdoor activities, pets or hobby farming pursuits, all set against a picturesque backdrop.
Completing the property is a substantial 8m x 12m separate garage, delivering excellent storage, workshop potential or secure parking for vehicles, trailers or recreational equipment. The property also benefits from a licensed river water pump, allowing water to be drawn directly to the land and helping keep the acreage drought-resilient year-round.
Offering room to move, and space for the whole family to enjoy, this beautifully presented acreage property delivers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful rural setting.

A feature that is not listed here may still be there.
Has anyone checked these features?
No. Each one is something a listing or an agent said the home has, written down and passed on. Nobody from Byrz has been inside to confirm any of it, so treat the list as claims to check at an inspection rather than as findings.
How buying a home actually works
Buying a home is the same few steps every time.
What each step involves
Here they are in the order they actually happen, so you can see where reading this page fits in.
- Find out what you can borrow. Do this before you fall in love with a home. A lender or a mortgage broker works out how big a loan you could get, and that ceiling decides which homes are worth your Saturdays. It is called pre-approval, it is not a loan and it is not a promise, and asking for one costs you nothing.
- Go and stand in a few. Photographs flatter every home ever listed. An open home is free, nobody books you in, and you can leave after two minutes. Walking through five homes in one suburb teaches you what your money buys there, which is the thing no website can tell you.
- Pay somebody to check the home, and somebody to read the contract. A building and pest inspector finds what the photographs left out. A conveyancer or a solicitor reads the contract, which is the part that decides what happens if something goes wrong, and it is written before you ever see it. Both cost money, both are cheaper than what they find, and both happen before you sign rather than after.
- Then you make an offer, or you bid. An offer can usually be made subject to your finance and to the inspection, so you have a way out if either falls over. An auction sale usually has no cooling off period, so at an auction everything above has to be done before you raise your hand. After that comes settlement, which is a month or two of paperwork your conveyancer runs, and then the keys are yours.
You do not need an account for any of that. It does take months, though, and the homes you are weighing up will move while you are working through it.
Save this home and Byrz keeps watching it for you: price changes, and when the listing sells, goes under contract, is pulled or comes back.

If this home goes to auction, you can register to bid and follow your own registration here.
The money
What buying this one would actually cost
The price is not the number you need: transfer duty, registry fees, a conveyancer and a building and pest inspection all come out of the same savings as your deposit, and Byrz works them out only from a price this listing states or one you put in, never one it invented.
Queensland only, for now
Byrz has transcribed the transfer duty schedule and the registry fees for Queensland, and so far only for Queensland. This home is in NSW, so Byrz will not put Queensland rates on it and will not guess at another state's.
Everything else on this page is unaffected, and what each of these costs pays for is the same wherever you buy, so the notes below still hold. A conveyancer in that state will give you the duty and the fees before you sign anything.
What each of these costs pays for
Transfer duty is a tax on the transaction itself, paid to the state, and on most purchases it is far larger than everything else combined. The registration fees pay the state titles office to record who owns the lot and who holds the mortgage over it. Conveyancing pays a person to read the contract, run the searches that tell you whether the property is affected by anything, and move the money on settlement day. Building and pest pays an inspector to walk the home before you are committed.
Why two of these are ranges, not rates
A published rate is set by a government, either applies to you or does not, and you can check it against the schedule yourself in a minute. A typical range is an observation Byrz has made about what people are charged, and nobody is bound by it. A page that mixes the two into one total without saying which is which has misled you by its shape, whatever its words said. Ring two conveyancers and find out what yours will be.
Why none of this can go on the loan
A lender lends against the property, not against the cost of buying it, so none of these charges can be added to the loan. They come out of the same savings you were going to put down, and they come out first. That means the price you can reach is not your savings divided by a deposit percentage: it is your savings, minus all of this, divided by a deposit percentage. People find this out at the wrong end, usually a week before settlement.
What Byrz cannot know about this home
Byrz does not put a price on any home. Every figure here is worked out from one price: the one this listing states, or the one you put in yourself, and the card says which. Byrz does not know your savings, so it shows reference deposits rather than your position. It does not decide whether a concession applies to you: the state revenue office does that, on the transfer, and a conveyancer will tell you where you stand before you sign.
How this area scores with the ABS
These scores describe the area around this home, not this home itself and not the people who live in it.
Scores for the Seaham - Woodville area, from the 2021 Census.
- Disadvantage
- 8 out of 10 across Australia
- Advantage and disadvantage
- 7 out of 10 across Australia
- Economic resources
- 10 out of 10 across Australia
- Education and occupation
- 5 out of 10 across Australia
This one is about disadvantage only. A decile of 1 means the area is among the most disadvantaged tenth of areas, counting things like low income, unemployment and homes without a car. A decile of 10 means it has few of those things. A high score does not mean an area is wealthy, only that it has little measured disadvantage.
This one counts advantage and disadvantage together, so it sits on one scale. A decile of 1 means the area has a lot of measured disadvantage and little advantage, and a decile of 10 means the opposite.
This one is about income and housing costs, and it leaves out education and job type on purpose. A decile of 1 means households in the area have relatively fewer economic resources, and a decile of 10 means they have relatively more.
This one is only about how much education people have and what kinds of jobs they do. A decile of 10 means the area has a lot of people with higher qualifications and skilled jobs. It says nothing about income.
SEIFA describes the area, not the people or households in it. These indexes are computed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for Seaham - Woodville, the statistical area this suburb sits in. A statistical area is a Bureau region of a few thousand people, so it can take in more than one suburb. A decile places the area against every other area in Australia: 1 means the lowest tenth on that index and 10 means the highest tenth.
What do these scores actually measure?
SEIFA is how the Australian Bureau of Statistics compares areas. Every area in Australia gets a score from 1 to 10, and the score describes the area as a whole, not any one household in it.
Government records for this location
They describe the location, not the condition of the home.

- Lot and plan
28/DP830742
14,010 m². Measured by Byrz from the NSW cadastre boundary of this lot and plan.
Where these records come from
Byrz reads these from government flood studies, planning schemes, school catchment maps and public transport datasets, at the mapped coordinate for this home. Boundaries and datasets change, and a mapped risk describes the mapped area, not the state of any building on it. Before relying on one of these records, check it against the council's or the custodian's own tools for this address.
What is a planning overlay?
An overlay is an extra rule a council puts on an area of land, on top of the normal zoning. If a home sits inside one, it means the council looks at certain plans more closely, like building near a waterway or changing an older character home. An overlay does not stop you buying the home.
What is a school catchment?
A state school catchment is the area a school takes its enrolments from, so a home inside one is generally entitled to a place at that school. Catchments are redrawn from time to time and there are exceptions, so confirm with the school or the education department before relying on one. Non-government schools set their own enrolment rules, which is why only state catchments appear here.
What is a lot and plan number?
It is how the state land registry names the piece of land an address is recorded against, and it is what a title search, a council enquiry or a conveyancer will ask you for. It describes the land, not the building on it: every unit in a block shares one plan, and a single parcel can hold more than one home. Where a land size is shown beside it, Byrz measured that from the boundary the registry publishes, because no state publishes the area itself.
