A fund-raiser dinner at Park and Cove restaurant in Peppers Noosa Resort recently reminded me of how convenient the location is to Hastings St and Main Beach.
Just walk down Morwong Ave for a few hundred metres and you are there.
The development of the resort also came up in discussion while walking around Little Cove last week.
Talking with residents taking their dogs for a walk, as well as visitors enjoying the boardwalk to Noosa National Park, highlighted how people value the natural beauty of the area.
International visitors commented on the way the boardwalk made its way around trees and gave beautiful, filtered views of Laguna Bay.
It’s a reminder of Noosa in the 1960s … with sandy tracks winding their way through rainforest down to the surf beaches.
Similarly, the amount of community discussion prior to Peppers Noosa Resort being built has resulted in a pleasing outcome for residents and visitors alike.
Someone who knows Peppers well is Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Chris Miller.
He is taking a one-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment 8408/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, to auction Friday, 26 September, at 3pm.
“I have experienced first-hand on numerous times how apartments in Peppers Noosa Resort are coveted, and that is understandable,’’ Chris said.
“Holiday bookings are year-round and mostly back-to-back.
“One-bedroom apartments are highly prized because they provide the perfect opportunity for the first-time buyer as well as the seasoned investor who understands the buoyancy of the local market.“
Chris describes apartment 8408 as “a slice of paradise perched amongst rainforest trees.’’
The mid-floor apartment is in Bayview, the building with the least number of apartments, and among the best positions in the resort.
“This is a beautiful one-bedroom apartment,’’ Chis said, “about as good as it gets for a one-bed for position .
“There is a private outlook from a natural rainforest setting. There is a lovely sense of space and light.
“It has a different floorpan to most – highly accessible and with the bedroom suite at the front, and opens onto the balcony.
“You wake to that setting, which also means the living space is larger.’’
The response to the auction campaign has been strong – relatively even between Queensland-based buyers and those from interstate.
This includes locals and Brisbane interests.
As well as the rainforest outlook, interests have been impressed by occupancy rates and returns, Chris said, and recent sales reflect this.
In this case, with wider doorways and technically being wheelchair accessible, the apartment invites you to take off the shoes and go in holiday mode.
The open-plan living comes with modular sofa, colourful artworks and accessories, all designed to mimic the national park.
Indoors becomes out, thanks to sliders which seemingly disappear to reveal the terrace.
The surrounds of palms and rainforest trees are lush, delightful choruses from the native birdlife are on-song, and it is where some koalas call home.
The galley-style kitchen, with 2-pac and glass cabinetry, has a pantry, Miele dishwasher and cooktop, microwave and fridge; the laundry comes with washing machine and dryer.
The king-size bedroom suite has a built-in robe, and ensuite with walk-in shower, 2-pac cabinetry white single basin. Adjoining is a fully equipped laundry.
There is ducted air-conditioning as well as fans and auto blinds.
Undercover parking is on the lower level
With a fully-inclusive inventory, the resort caters to a high-end holiday market.
Designed by awarded Noosa architect John Mainwaring, Peppers Noosa is an eco-conscious sustainability resort with solar energy and rainwater irrigation.
CAPTURE THE BREEZES, THE VIEWS
Enjoying an elevated position in a cul-de-sac, a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool in Noosaville catches the breezes from the river as well as views towards Noosa Hill.
Nathan Howie and Jack Newton of Noosa Estate Agents are taking the property at 7 Treasure Cove to auction Wednesday, 24 September, at 12pm.
The two-level house has a north-facing heated pool and alfresco deck as well as being registered for short-term letting.
“It has an awesome, north-facing, outdoor living area,’’ Nathan said, “and the way the house is designed makes the most of natural light.
“The two-car garage is spacious, has wide access and drive-through facility for storage of a boat or trailer.
There are four spacious bedrooms upstairs, as well as a home office, theatre or guest room with bathroom.’’
The house combines stylish design with versatile family living, Nathan said.
A luxurious main bedroom suite on the upper level opens to a north-facing balcony.
Three separate living areas are across both levels, along with a large open-plan kitchen finished with stone benchtops.
A dedicated home office or potential guest bedroom is on the lower level, with a downstairs bathroom.
Bi-fold doors create an indoor-outdoor flow to a covered entertaining deck and barbecue zone that overlooks the heated pool and gazebo.
Upstairs, the bedrooms and media lounge have been recently updated with new carpets.
Ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning and ceiling fans have been installed.
RURAL LIFESTYLE ON OFFER
A glorious 29.16ha property at Traveston has attracted more enquiry than dreamed of by the sellers.
Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa are taking the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, eight-vehicle house at 374 Kenman Rd to auction Thursday, 25 September, at 4pm.
The sellers were a bit nervous at first about the auction process, Jeanette said.
“It’s only been on the market for just over a week and we’ve already seen many inspections at the property, and with second inspections being arranged.
“Interest has come from as far as Western Australia and Victoria, as well as local interest of land-owners looking to expand their holding.
“This is terrific grazing country and the ground-water means excellent stock carrying capacity.
“It’s attracting interest from families looking for that rural lifestyle as well as those downsizing from larger acreages.’’
The clear, undulating land has four dams, outstanding views from the homestead , and a 12m by 14m shed.
Built 15 years ago to reflect the timeless character of a sandstone homestead, the one-owner residence offers space, comfort, and an outlook stretching across the property then all the way towards Gympie.
Set well back from the road, the single-level four bedroom house with study enjoys privacy.
Spacious living areas with high ceilings open to full-length verandahs. Ducted air-conditioning and security screens are fitted.
The main bedroom suite, with a wheelchair-accessible ensuite, is located at one end of the home, while the guest wing features three spacious bedrooms and their own activity room, as well as a smart three-way family bathroom.
The kitchen impresses with its long island bench, walk-in pantry, and easy availability to the verandah.
Outside, there are landscaped gardens, a variety of fruit trees, and lush improved pastures. Boundary fencing is in place and there is some internal fencing.
Of the four large dams, one has solar/petrol back-up pump for garden water. There is a greenhouse, chicken coop, solar panels, and an impressive shed with extra-high door and solar fan.
With remote-controlled front gate, the property is 25 minutes to Cooroy or Gympie with the coast about 45 minutes away.
The property is being opened for inspection twice a week leading up to auction.
