Noosa’s hinterland properties continue to attract interest from far and wide.
Kess Prior of Hinternoosa was run off her feet at the first open house for 308 Eumundi Range Rd, Eumundi, on Saturday.
Meanwhile Lian Scott of Wythes Real Estate is getting good early inquiry on a substantial property in an elevated setting along the Eumundi-Kenilworth Rd.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with eight-car garage on 12ha goes to auction Friday, August 6, at 2pm.
It is attracting people from out west looking for a coastal base, as well as from interstate including those looking to commute on a regular basis to Sydney and Melbourne.
“It’s a blank canvas for horses or cattle,’’ Lian said. “A good property with lovely views of the ranges.
“The house has been designed around being able to take the outlook in from any room.
“You can see them right from the front door.
“People are surprised when they get there … a place like that, the scale and the beauty, the ambience and the views.’’
Interstate lockdowns have hampered the on-site inspections but a lot of confidence has been placed on buyer agents who have been looking for interstate clients.
When dealing with sight-unseen properties, it’s a matter of being able to describe it well, Lian said. Take them through the property on whatever application they prefer.
“People have all been happy when they see it.
“There has been a real mix from people in country Australia, also Brisbane outskirts and Sunshine Coast hinterland locals.
“Former cattle and dairy farmers looking to downsize.’’
The as-new Hamptons-inspired home features ducted air-conditioning, 2.7m high ceilings, ironbark timber floors, and stylish louvre windows for cross ventilation.
The modern farmhouse provincial kitchen boasts premium-quality inclusions and flows out to an elevated entertaining deck.
A creek forms the western boundary of the property that has paddocks with electric fences.
There is a 20m by 12m five-bay shed with 3.6-metre clearance, three-phase power, and a workshop with a car hoist.
HIGH, WIDE AND HANDSOME
It’s a big house with jaw-dropping views.
Hinternoosa’s Kess Prior has been kept busy with the five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 4.01ha at 308 Eumundi Range Rd, Eumundi, that goes to auction Friday, August 6, at 1pm.
Kess had good groups at the open home on Saturday as well as interest from interstate and overseas.
“It has been a combination of everybody,’’ she said, “ … from the beach areas, from England, Singapore and the US.
“We have had more Facetime inspections scheduled this week.
“It will appeal to a large family or extended family, and has dual living possibilities.
“They fall in love with that view.
“The beautiful thing is while it’s a steep property to get those views, it has about an acre of flat land around the house – so you have the best of both worlds.
“Usually flat, useable and views are not used in same sentence. But here you have them all.’’
“The neighbours run cattle and have maintained the fences.
“This is a premium hinterland property that combines the best of comfortable modern living, entertaining, and sustainability.’’
The house features multiple living areas, high ceilings, media room and a kitchen with stone benches and stainless steel appliances, a separate studio and 20m lap pool.
SUNSEEKERS CLOSE IN
From the beginning of the marketing campaign for the Chris Miller-listed free-standing townhouse at 12 Sunseeker Cl, Noosaville, the response was buoyant.
Not surprising given the single-level, three-bedder is part of the Noosa Waters’ estate, and this was the first time in 21 years it had been offered for sale.
There was a larger-then-usual crowd of enthusiastic property watchers and 12 registered bidders with their fingers crossed.
With multiple parties participating including via telephone, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald called “sold” at $965,000.
The Melbourne-based buyers were ecstatic, knowing they had secured an enormous opportunity in a first-class location.
The NZ-based sellers were impressed with the remarkable reaction and result, also grateful for the Tom Offermann Real Estate team effort.
The Tiffany Wilson-listed 29 Moonbeam Cres, Castaways Beach, has all the attributes you’d expect of a three-bedroom house near the beach and adjoining the Noosa National Park. However, it was passed in on auction day and she is negotiating with two interested parties from interstate and Brisbane.
SALE REFLECTS INCREASING VALUES
Scheduled for auction tomorrow, Saturday, but sold prior is the Eliza Coppin-listed penthouse 22 with a rooftop, at the Tropicana complex, 140 Noosa Pde, Noosaville.
Eliza who was very happy with the result as were the owners said “we are still receiving strong enquiry from investors in the southern states.
“The result is certainly a reflection of how Noosa’s values have increased.
“Recent sales of Noosaville apartments on the waterfront have been in the high $2 millions, such as apartment 6 Noosa Haven selling at auction for $2.64m.
“Some sales are tipping into the $3 millions, while dry-side values have also reached new levels.”
ON WATER’S EDGE
Steps to the water’s edge and seemingly in its own secluded paradise, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car townhouse at 1/19 Laburnum Cres, Noosaville, is set for auction at 11am on Friday, August 6.
Mal Cox at Tom Offermann Real Estate said the two-level townhouse was heavily renovated two years ago – inside and out.
Facing the water and with a private pool, there is a security gate to take you to the walkway through to the yacht club and Noosa River.
“There has been good interest,’’ Mal said. “A mix of interstate and locals looking to downsize and as an investment.’’
Banks of white plantation shutters in the open-plan living spaces slide back, amplifying the indoors-out effect.
This gives a seamless transition to the terrace on the north-westerly side.
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Get the sunscreen out, a hard-working family from Victoria are looking to escape the southern winter and move to Noosa after purchasing a Tewantin home prior to auction.
Jannell Chataway at Laguna Real Estate said the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 51 Werin St has gone under contract prior to the July 31 scheduled date.
“Everyone is happy,’’ Jannell said. “The buyers have business interests and will holiday here initially.
“They are so excited.
“Other offers were being presented so their son had a look through.’’
On a 505sq m allotment, the house features spacious, open plan living/dining, high ceilings, and ducted air-conditioning.
The kitchen, dining and lounge overlook the back yard and pool.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
It’s a rare find – a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house on 1002sq m at 11 Goodchap St, Tewantin.
Tucked away in this short, private street, the house will go to auction at 10am on Saturday, August 7.
Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate said the house had been built in 1980 and enjoyed an elevated, northerly aspect with a very attractive, leafy outlook.
“Poincianas line the street,’’ Warren said. “No-one knows it’s there poincianas, no-one knows its there but you can walk to the river, or the yacht and rowing club.’’
Warren has had the fortune of having acted for the vendor previously.
“It’s a lovely family. I’ve had the privilege of selling land for them in Noosaville in recent years.’’
The house has spacious, open-plan living with cathedral ceilings, a renovated galley-style kitchen, and a covered entertaining patio.
There has been interstate interest but generally locals, and people from Brisbane wanting to retire here.
Warren has had offers prior but the vendors are determined to go to auction.
“It is a much more transparent method,’’ he said. “This way they all have the time to do due diligence and be ready for auction day.’’
