Character Meets Modern Comfort in Exclusive Location

Been searching for a place that combines the elegance of a country estate with the comforts of contemporary living that is close to Noosa, but also very peaceful and private? This gorgeous property has it all, with bonuses such as dual living potential and sustainable lifestyle features. Set near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, it is nestled among native bush and surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes, with a north-east facing position that captures the refreshing sea breezes.

With a butterfly staircase front and centre, the stunning high-set Garth Chapman-built abode oozes with the charming features of a traditional Queenslander, such as ornate fretwork, gleaming timber floors, VJ wall panelling, and French doors opening onto wide covered verandas. Modern amenities also feature strongly and include air-conditioning, multiple living zones, and up-to-date bathrooms.

The lower level incorporates three generous children’s/guest bedrooms, a separate study, bathroom, and a wide covered back patio that leads onto a spacious, level grassy lawn. It has its own entrance and could easily be converted to allow for dual living (subject to council approval). Upstairs is an entertainer’s paradise, with a versatile floor plan that includes spaces for living and dining – including a gorgeous formal dining room and a loungeroom with open fireplace. Alternatively, you can spend time with your guests on either of two decks, with the rear deck boasting an extension that makes a fabulous outdoor dining space.

Cook up a storm in style in the modern kitchen, which features immaculate white cabinetry, stone benches, induction cooking, walk in pantry, and island bench with breakfast bar. Also upstairs, the master suite provides a peaceful retreat with its oversized bedroom, walk-in robe, and ensuite bathroom.

The residence also has ceiling fans, lock-up garaging for two vehicles, and 5kw solar panels. Other sustainable living features include solar hot water, approximately 80,000 litres of tank water storage with filtration system and an abundance of fruit trees. The gorgeous, usable grounds blend tropical plantings with features like tidy, clipped hedges that add to the sense of seclusion, particularly around the 60,000-litre inground pool.

All this is located in a tightly-held part of leafy Doonan just 20 minutes from the heart of Noosa Heads, allowing you to live in complete privacy without sacrificing easy access to everything the region is famous for – such as pristine sandy beaches, national parks, and world-class shopping and dining. Several schools, local shops, and Eumundi village (renowned for its markets and country pubs) are also within easy driving distance. This enchanting property will quickly take someone’s heart, so secure your inspection fast if you’d like to make it yours.
