Noosa’s eastern beaches continue to surprise with the calibre of properties being offered and the subsequent results.
Tracy Russell at Tom Offermann Real Estate has achieved some interesting sales in recent months and has a string of impressive fresh listings.
A five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 40 Currawong St, Peregian Beach, is set for auction at 12pm on Saturday, 22 February.
“It a great property,’’ Tracy said, “a very contemporary home near the beach.
“On 724sq m, it backs onto a coastal reserve and is an easy walk to the village as well as the ocean.’’
The near-new home is a matter of modern luxury meeting beachside convenience.
The open, airy design creates a blend of indoor and outdoor living set among low-maintenance native gardens.
Discover polished grey concrete floors, soaring ceilings, light-filled spaces, and premium finishes.
The private main bedroom suite at the front of the house comes with a spacious ensuite featuring floor-to-ceiling tiles, a free-standing bath, and a rain shower. There is a walk-in robe with custom shelving, plus a private courtyard with direct pool access.
Overlooking the central courtyard and pool, the open-plan living spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows and stack-back doors.
The outlook into the treetops of the coastal reserve ensures privacy and the sounds of abundant birdlife.
Step outside onto expansive entertaining decks and enjoy coastal breezes and the magnesium pool.
The kitchen is a showstopper, featuring a galley-style design with a massive stone island bench and open timber shelving. The butler’s pantry behind provides endless storage.
The ground level also boasts a guest bedroom, a second bathroom, and a family-sized laundry. With internal access from the oversized double garage, convenience is key.
Downstairs is a second living area and three more bedrooms, all with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and built-in desks.
The raw, industrial vibe of exposed concrete ceilings adds an edge, while the separate bathroom and layout make it perfect for teens, guests, or even an income-generating setup.
In addition to the double garage, tucked along the side of the house is a secure storage area.
EXCITING NEW DEVELOPMENT
Coming soon to Peregian Beach is a boutique set of apartments opposite the foreshore reserve on The Esplanade.
Tracy Russell took the corner property to auction about two years ago.
What is proposed is Chris Clout-designed complex that has development approval for eight single-level, three-bedroom, apartments with subterranean car parking, and lift.
Upstairs apartments will have the coastal views, while those downstairs will have individual swimming pools.
The development will be selling off the plan and appeal to locals wanting position and to downsize or upgrade, Brisbane buyers looking to move to an upmarket weekender, or Melbourne buyers who like the winter sunshine.
ORIGINAL RIVER HOUSE SELLS
An original Queensland cottage on a prime 637sq m site at Noosaville, 200 metres from the Noosa River, attracted much conversation and an interested crowd of about 60 at the recent auction.
There was talk about what used to be where and who used to live there as one by one the houses in the street have been replaced by apartments.
Now, for the first time in 62 years, it was the turn of the high-set timber house with two-plus bedrooms and one bathroom at 13 Russell St.
Melanie Butcher and Olivier Miller of Laguna Real Estate were marketing the property and auctioneer Justin Voss calling for bids.
Two registered bidders saw it start at $3m before being passed in at $3.5m, and subsequently selling post-auction after negotiations.
“It has been sold unconditionally,’’ Melanie said. “A southern buyer recognised the excellent potential of the site but also appreciated the fantastic history it represents.
“It is there to enjoy and rent out as-is, and be redeveloped down the track.’’
On Saturday, 1 February, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 8/112-114 Hilton Tce, Noosaville, was passed in at $1.4m but attracted many buyers to the auction.
Melanie Butcher continued working with post-auction interest and has announced it sold under auction conditions to a very excited local who has been searching for the ideal property for several years.
“Most of the buyer inquiries came from the local area,’’ Melanie said, “… some Brisbane and interstate as well.
“It is a small, well-located complex and those with low body corporate fees are highly sought-after. They are very desirable for downsizers.’’
The exquisitely renovated apartment faces onto open parkland with Noosa River glimpses.
POPULAR LOCATION
It was always going to be an interesting auction but the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 706sq m at 13 Koel St, Noosaville, sold prior with Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents.
“The property sold to a young local family who will do some improvements and make it their home,’’ Scott said.
“Enquiry was a bit sporadic, interestingly mostly from local buyers. What we have is happy sellers and ecstatic buyers.’’
The buyers were attracted by the locations – handy to shops, river and recreation areas – and the sense of space in the house as well as the grounds.
Immaculately presented, the single-level home offered landscaped gardens, a large grassy yard, and multiple outdoor entertaining zones.
LIKE FALLING IN LOVE
Going to auction on Saturday, 15 February, is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, three-car house with pool at 24 Cooloosa St, Sunshine Beach.
Zoe Cooke of Tom Offermann Real Estate said people were falling in love with the property, in a tightly-held street with a close-knit community.
“The swimming pool is the centrepiece,’’ Zoe said, “… more than 12m in length.
“It’s like having a pool and the house goes with it.’’
Set to go to the market at 3pm, the house has spacious bedrooms, making it ideal for a couple or small family.
Interest has been a mix from local, Brisbane and interstate.
The home offers a sense of sense of privacy and security. It features bi-fold doors and sunny decks that create an open-air feel.
There is reverse cycle air-conditioning, and a centrally-located kitchen with a breakfast bar.
Upstairs features a modern, stylishly renovated bathroom and oversized bedrooms that open to a deck overlooking the pool.
There is remote gated entry with intercom access, solar power and rainwater storage.
INTENSE INTEREST
The interest has been unbelievable … and that comes from Warren Evans, a 40-year master of real estate in Noosa.
Warren, together with Chris Forde of Laguna Real Estate, is taking a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house on 633sq m at 29 Bluebell Ct, Noosaville, to auction Saturday, 21 February, at 12pm.
“We have been taking five to 10 enquiries a day on the house,’’ Warren said, “but there is a lot of work to do on it.
“Ideally, it would suit a young builder or a couple looking to cut their teeth and get some capital gain.
“It will be a terrific auction – it presents a golden opportunity to enter the Noosa market.’’
The brick veneer dwelling in Bushlands Estate is almost at lock-up stage but needs extensive internal and external work.
One level has three bedrooms, ensuite, main bathroom and laundry. The lower level has high ceilings, open-plan lounge and kitchen with an easterly view to parkland.
The double garage has internal access.
