Utopia on Castaways Beach; Awash with Coral Sea Views

If a picture-perfect location, perched on dunes in an exclusive beachfront estate, surrounded by nature reserves and eagle-eye views to Coolum and beyond, sounds like utopia, you’ve found Noosa’s best kept secret: Noosa Dunes.

The residence is ideally north-east facing and footsteps away to the pristine white sand including a stunning stretch of dog-friendly Castaways Beach via two residence-only accesses. Its high elevation allows sweeping 300-degree views of the Coral Sea and beaches from the headland of Noosa National Park to Point Cartwright, Mooloolaba and beyond, plus the verdant Hinterland. There’s immediate access to coastal cycleways as well as walking trails from the Noosa National Park to Lake Weyba.

Admire the native pandanas, banksias and cycads that mimic the nearby national park and fringe the front pathway, also the honey-hued American hickory ash flooring inside the impressive contemporary residence. It not only delivers privacy, but those awe-inspiring views truly enhance the art of coastal living, whether out on the deck, which wraps both the south and east sides or enjoying the open-plan high-ceilinged living and dining spaces.

There is also an adjoining more casual family-style space, which cleverly opens out to a private deck on the north-side and has westerly views. With its covered area for lolling around, alfresco area for barbecues, and a glistening, sun-drenched freshwater plunge pool designed for aquarobics, it is the undeniable year-round hub of entertaining and family fun. It is of course augmented by a kitchen which is C-shaped and comes with a pantry and the latest appliances.

How about waking to the sounds of the surf, watching dawn send shimmering rays over the ocean from the master suite with its walk-in robe and over-generous ensuite? Or marvel at the annual whale migration. Another big plus here is the spa bath for not just soaking pleasure but drinking in those verdant sunset views.

A bedroom with built-in robes, plus a powder room are also on this level.

The lower level, just like the one above, encapsulates the perfect lifestyle for a young family, today’s work-at-home barefoot executive, plus those desirous of guest accommodation. There are three double bedrooms all with built-in robes, a family bathroom, kitchenette or maybe it is a bar to service the media/living room, which opens out to an undercover terrace and balcony. There is also access to the rear garden from the laundry and patio, which currently houses gym equipment.

Go for a jog through the Noosa National Park, or grab the kids, surfboards, and the dog, and before you can say “white sand” you are on Castaways Beach.

“Noosa Dunes estate has it all in buckets and spades,” extols Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Michael McComas. “It is a master-planned, exclusive, private and secure gated estate with architecturally-designed multi-million-dollar, prestigious, contemporary homes. Discerning owners want nothing less than a spectacular location by the beach as well as sensational panoramic views.

“The central location is also vitally important. It is an 8-minute drive to Hastings Street and Noosa’s Main Beach, a few minutes more to Little Cove and the world-famous surfing reserve in the Noosa National Park, and 5-minutes away, are the villages of Peregian Beach and Sunshine Beach with a bevy of cafes, bars, and boutiques”.
