Rural/range scarcity zoning caps new supply; large-lot lifestyle appeal near the Sunshine Coast border.
A 3-sale market with prices down 33.5%, no measured rental demand, and ~40-45min to services or rail — untradeable for a fund.
A Feb-2022 landslip cut the road here; bushfire and isolation are structural risks that lift insurance and can strand tenants.
Not an SMSF investment: illiquid, tenant-less and remote. Pass on the numbers.
