White water views hold appeal

Watch the waves break from multiple vantage points at a four-bedroom house in an elevated position at Sunrise Beach.

Jesse Stowers at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the phouse with pool at 30 Ventura St to auction Friday, 6 February, at 11am.

With two bathrooms and two-car garaging the house enjoys a north-easterly aspect, and is walk-in ready, Jesse said.

Initial interest has been from the North Coast of New South Wales, local and from Noosa hinterland parties looking for ocean views and being within walking distance to the beach.

In immaculate condition, the house has been thoughtfully designed to attract natural light along with fresh sea breezes.

The open-plan design facilitates seamless internal-external flow to the wrap-around deck, offering covered and alfresco space to take in the 180-degree sea vista.

Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and whitewashed timber-look flooring bring warmth and charm, together with split-system, reverse-cycle air-conditioning to create a coastal vibe.

A functional modern kitchen with stainless steel oven and gas cooktop, stone benchtops, and soft-close cabinetry comes complete with ocean view and direct deck access.

Underneath the house adjacent to the double lock-up garage is a massive undercroft – suitable for storage and could also be enclosed to create a further separate living area.

Fully fenced, the property has a private pool with expansive decking for the sun lounges.

“This is a property with incredible appeal,’’ Jesse said, “particularly for a beach-loving family, as its locale is so close to a beautiful section of beach and there are multiple schools are within walking distance.’’

ORIGINAL BEACH HOUSE SELLS

It was like old times at Sunshine Beach on Saturday as neighbours and old friends chatted while making the most of the shade and the sea breeze on a warm summer’s day.

Caitlyn McConnell and Tania Wood of Sunshine Beach Real Estate had six registered bidders and a crowd of about 100 in the street at 21 Duke St for the auction of the original two-bedroom, one-bathroom beach house.

On a 611sq m zoned medium density, the house was built in 1977 and is one of the last remaining original properties in the area.

It has been held within one family for nearly 50 years.

Introducing the property to the market, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald said as often the case in such precincts it is a matter of like attracting like.

“My money is on someone very similar to the Ward family who built this house who will be successful today.’’

He looked for an opening bid around $2m and got a start at $1.8.

The auction was paused at $2.560m to seek further instructions and, somewhat surprisingly, virtually all of the crowd waited while extended negotiations took place.

When the auctioneer returned he announced the bid had been increased to $2.660m and the property was sold under the hammer to a young family living in Noosa.

The sellers were very happy for the property to go to family with children who were about the same age as when they built it, Caitlin said.

Coming to the market next month will be a stunning home at North Sunshine.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

A riverfront Noosaville property benefits from both worlds – position as well as privacy.

Adrian Reed and Donna Taylor at Reed & Co Estate Agents are taking the striking four-bedroom house with pool and jetty to auction on Wednesday, 4 February, at 1pm.

Perfectly positioned on one of Noosa’s most revered stretches of the river, 41 Wyuna Drive is a rare convergence of natural theatre and contemporary refinement, comprehensively renovated in 2025 to an exceptional standard, agency director and founder Adrian Reed said.

“Riverfront homes of this calibre, with a prized north-east aspect and private jetty, are incredibly rare in Noosa.

“This property has been completely redesigned to maximise its position on the river, delivering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of the area’s most tightly held waterfront streets.”

The 2025 renovation was extensive and uncompromising in its execution. Every element has been replaced, renewed or elevated.

The result is a residence that feels entirely new, while remaining deeply connected to its riverfront setting.

The position of the property highlights the bushland outlook across a wide expanse of water. This gives privacy in a precinct renowned for providing a peaceful waterfront lifestyle.

Early enquiry has been a balance of Brisbane, local interstate interests.

“As the Brisbane market continues to push ahead in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic Games, there is plenty of capacity for them to move,’’ Adrian said

“A lot have done really well out of the South-east corner of Queensland.

“There is good energy in the Noosa market place.

“Overall, it is stronger than at the end of last year.’’

At the heart of the Wyuna Dve house, the quality designer kitchen is a true statement. Vast slabs of Italian sourced Arizona Quartzite form the island, benchtops and backsplashes.

Importantly, the property benefits from a current and highly sought-after short-term holiday letting approval, enhancing its appeal as a blue-chip lifestyle investment, premium holiday home, or permanent residence of distinction.

“Wyuna Drive, often referred to as Hideaway Island, is renowned for its strong sense of community, leafy central parkland and quiet exclusivity, all while remaining just moments from Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the cafes and restaurants of Gympie Terrace,’’ Adrian said.

NATURAL ATTRACTION

A sense of privacy and the appeal of a natural bush setting are driving interest in a four-bedroom Noosa Heads house set for action in early February.

Adam Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the two-bathroom, two-car house at 4 Naturi St enjoyed a very coastal feel and the quiet precinct.

“It’s proving very popular, “ Adam said. “The steel-framed house has been very well maintained.

“This is shaping as a good entry level into a quality area with the 4567 postcode.’’

The property goes to auction Saturday, 7 February, at 1pm. Interest to date has been from Brisbane as well as local.

Entry level into the Noosa Heads market is now around the mid $1m mark, Adam said, and Brisbane sellers are getting close to that, so they are looking to make the move.

Framed by leafy, established native gardens and backing directly onto parkland, this immaculate family home offers potential for not only dual living but to value-add.

The owners since 2006 have meticulously maintained the house that features a full-length covered timber deck on both sides.

Parquetry flooring is in the kitchen and dining room, ceiling fans throughout, split system air-conditioning, quality carpets in the upper bedrooms and lounge, and a full-sized bath with shower and dual vanities in a two-way bathroom.

The high-set design comes with an ensuited bedroom, bathroom, and living room on the ground level with its own entry.

As well as an oversized double lock-up garage, there is driveway parking. The fully-fenced backyard boasts exceptional privacy with its parkland backdrop.
