There was nothing on the market that could compare … the views, the location, the house and the zoning.
All those things went together and provided different appeal for different people and for different reasons.
Lisa Hornsby of Dowling Neylan said the sale of 41 Picture Point Cres, Noosa Heads, at auction on Saturday for $16.45m was all about location.
As such it was regarded as the highest residential price under the hammer in Queensland and a residential record for Noosa Heads.
“It was like floating on top of the world,’’ Lisa said, “and so close to Hastings St.’’
The architect-designed, four-bedroom house with pool was positioned across a double block of 1447sq m and had a high density zoning, so there was potential to redevelop the site.
It was the first time to the market for the house in more than 40 years.
The property attracted eight registered bidders who were all present on the day, including those from Melbourne who had been staying in Noosa.
“There were a considerable number of bidders from Noosa,’’ Lisa said, “and Brisbane was also represented.’’
“Bidding started from $13m and ended up between two in the end.
“There were plenty of twists and turns … some attempted knock-out bids.
“The opening bidder was consistent but the winner came in strong towards the end.’’
The successful buyer was from the Sunshine Coast.
It was the highest sale Lisa has conducted, and she was grateful to have facilitated the process and bring it together.
“The owners were amazing to work with,’’ she said, “and the new buyers will truly appreciate the home.
“The marketing was extensive throughout the campaign to ensure we reached everybody possible.
“There were hundreds of inquiries.
“It was a matter of getting people to appreciate everything the home and location had to offer.
“You could not put a price on it so auction was basically the most transparent method of bringing it to the market.
Nestled into the north facing side of Laguna Hill, the house offered panoramic views across the Noosa waterways – from Noosa Main Beach to Noosa North Shore, Noosa River up to Tewantin and beyond to the mountains of the hinterland.
Split level, the home comprises a formal entry foyer, four bedrooms, study/reading room off the main, two modern bathrooms plus powder room, open plan living, covered wrap-around deck to catch the views and breezes, oversized in-ground pool with shower/toilet room and pergola plus a double lock up garage providing four-car tandem parking.
A REAL SHOW-STOPPER
Eyes will again be turned to Noosa Heads this Sunday when Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate takes Coco Privé at 1/1-7 Bayview Rd, to auction at 1pm.
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with pool and two-car garaging is in an exclusive enclave bordering the Noosa National Park.
It is the latest showpiece from the celebrated design and development team of Glen and Deborah Watson.
Everything has been taken care of, from custom furniture and curated artworks to towels by the pool, crockery in the kitchen, and linen on the bed.
The ultra-modern residence has an eye-catching metal laser-cut façade, while indoors the living and dining spaces with limestone floors open to numerous state-of-the-art travertine alfresco terraces.
There is also a stellar twisting staircase and private rooftop terrace.
“The response has been huge,’’ Chris said. “Massive.
“From around the world as well as Australia.
“It’s exciting to see the looks on the faces of people as they walk through.
“One of the things they love most is it is wrapped in rainforest – the privacy is exceptional.
“You have a private sky terrace and yet just minutes from Little Cove Beach.
“It is unique in in that it backs on to the national park so it has a wonderful sense of light and captures the essence of Noosa.
“You can count on one hand the number of homes that have come up for sale in Little Cove this year.’’
With just one neighbour, the priority was to make the most of the aspect by wrapping the residence on three sides by numerous terraces and zones.
What’s it worth? We’ll find out Sunday.
PRIZED POSITION
It will be the same today, Friday, when father-and-daughter team Tom and Rebekah Offermann take 5/81 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, to auction at midday.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment with pool features drop-dead northerly views of Noosa Main Beach.
Dress circle Hastings St is the prized address and this lavish apartment comes with an inspired Cape Cod/LA interior.
This world-class apartment is considered the best of what’s been offered to market for several years.
Access will be limited to pre-registered bidders.
NATURAL ATTRACTION
Kathy Wise and Rob Spencer of Sunshine Beach Real Estate have reported the sale prior to auction of 32 Driftwood Dve, Castaways Beach.
The campaign for the five-bedroom, three-bathroom, three-car house was aimed at buyers who appreciated the residential liveability of Castaways, Kathy said.
The coastal enclave showcases the best of both worlds in the nature department, with the National Park footsteps away and the pristine coastline a short stroll away all within close proximity to Peregian and Noosa.
The bonus studio apartment attached also attracted buyers.
“Interest came steadily from local and interstate purchasers in Western Australia, New South Wales and Victoria,’’ Kathy said, “but an offer from our international buyer was accepted by the vendors prior to auction.’’
IT WAS MEANT TO BE
The sale at auction on Saturday of the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 10 Coconut Gve, Castaways Beach, was special.
Linda Suter of Suter Smith Cleine said the vendors were ecstatic after it sold under the hammer at $2.450m.
“There was conditional interest as well as registered bidders,’’ Linda said. “Others were waiting in the wings, but those who could bid got it.
“It was a family with three girls, which is so Castaways … it’s such a family enclave.
“The vendors were very emotional. It’s been a family house and it sold to family, so there were tears.’’
The buyers were initially form Sydney and had been in Noosa for a while, looking to buy.
RIGHT ROYAL OUTCOME
Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jesse Stowers has negotiated the sale of the royal suite at 50 The Emerald, 42 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, for $7.2m.
He said it was the largest apartment in Hastings St and one of only a couple with a private swimming pool.
It has been owned by the vendor since The Emerald was built on its gateway corner site in the mid ’90s.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom mid-level apartment at 12 The Emerald was taken to auction on Saturday.
With mostly interstate interest looking for a lifestyle property to use themselves and rent out, there were three registered bidders.
It was passed in at $2.4m, with negotiations continuing.
PEEK OF THE PEAK
There has been a strong response to the five-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 10.67 ha at 161 Dath Henderson Rd, Tinbeerwah, that is set for auction Saturday at 3pm.
Peter TeWhata at Tom Offermann Real Estate had 11 groups through at the first open home – a midweek showing of a Wednesday – and interest has continued strongly since then.
Peter has registered bidders from all over – local and interstate – including Facetime inspections from Melbourne interest.
Twenty minutes from Noosa Main Beach, the property features shade trees, two fenced horse paddocks, and some great infrastructure for livestock including high-span sheds, ample rainwater storage and multi-purpose outbuildings.
There is even a peek of Mt Cooroy from the property that features the Queenslander-inspired homestead with wrap-around veranda – even the airplane hangar and dam.
“It’s one of those properties with a beautiful feel,’’ Peter said. “There is rainforest straddling Six Mile Creek.’’
October will be a busy month for Peter with auctions at 11 Cooran Ct on Noosa Sound, Unit 14 Jacaranda in Hastings St, and then 57 Orient Dve at Sunrise Beach in conjunction with Mal Cox.
NEAT AND TIDY
Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents is receiving plenty of interstate inquiry as well as local on 6/229 Weyba Rd, Noosaville.
The two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse is set for auction Thursday, October 21, at 1pm.
There has also been inquiry from first home buyers in Brisbane, Nathan said.
“It’s a neat and tidy apartment with north-facing yard.’’
Nathan is also set to auction a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in Noosa International late this month.
