Understandably, the Tom Offermann and Nic Hunter-listed 60 The Peninsula, a private albeit lush oasis on Noosa Waters, attracted national publicity and massive buyer interest in the lead-up to Saturday’s private auction.
There were six pre-registered bidders, all super keen to secure the north-facing residence, boasting flourishes of Hamptons’ inspiration, whispers of cool Palm Springs, and a sense of grandeur on the wide waterfront.
Bidding commenced strongly, was bolstered with large dollar increments and ultimately two families going head-to-head for the prized keys.
After 20-plus bids, the knock of the auctioneer’s gavel sounded.
It was a new record price, and although undisclosed, it is well in excess of previous sales for a single allotment in the prestigious Noosa Waters estate.
The successful buyer is from Melbourne.
LIKE LIVING ON AN ISLAND
It’s arguably the closest thing to owning your own island in Noosa – without the hefty price-tag.
Just a tinnie ride to Noosa Marina and Tewantin Village, the rambling four-bedroom, three-bathroom, three-car riverfront property at 51 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore, is a breath of fresh air.
It’s also a journey back to a more relaxed way of life.
Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate is bringing Mango Landing to the market for the first time in 31 years.
Listed in the mid to high $2m, it includes slipway, workshop and jetty as well as extended decking with views back to Tewantin and Mt Tinbeerwah.
“It’s one of the best positions,’’ Warren said, “with long water views and great sunsets.
“It was an old shack for many years, then a Brisbane couple saw it as their future retirement, bought the land and built a house in front of the shack.
“The property goes back to the timber industry days on the North Shore.
“The mango trees are about 130 years old … and still fruiting.’’
On 991sq m of riverfront land, the home is all western red cedar with cathedral ceilings, a self-contained one-bedroom flat and a workshop.
There is three-bay car-parking, water tanks and solar panels.
The property will be open for inspection Saturday 12-1pm.
AWASH WITH SUCCESS
It was a holiday weekend of bitter-sweet emotions at Tom Offermann Real Estate auctions.
The Lauren Chen and Luke Chen-listed 2 The Peninsula, Noosa Waters, attracted four registered bidders on the Saturday for the waterfront residence.
It was sold under the hammer for $3.6m with vendors bidding a fond farewell to their much loved holiday home and a big warm welcome to an ecstatic Sydney family who have started packing and will be heading north as soon as possible.
Six registered bidders battled it out for the Tracy Russell and Mal Cox-listed duplex two at 22 Avocet Pde, Peregian Beach.
It sold for $1.95m and the Brisbane-based vendor passed the baton to fellow Brisbanites who already own property in Peregian Beach and cannot wait to entertain family and friends on the big deck.
ELIZA STRIKES TWICE
Hot on the heels of the two-bed apartment 7 Offshore Noosa, 221-227 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, selling prior to auction, Eliza Coppin of Tom Offermann Real Estate has done it again.
This time the beautifully refurbed penthouse apartment 21 Noosa Tropicana at 140 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, has sold before auction day on May 7.
A Tasmanian couple who missed out on apartment 22 last year, had been waiting for a three-bedroom penthouse with rooftop terrace, hence the early offer, also superseding the record by $225,000.
The Offshore apartment was due to go to auction on May 14 but a Brisbane couple snapped it up.
SETTING SALE IN BLUEFIN
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom villa at 1/61 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, sold at auction with Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville of Noosa Estate Agents.
With three registered comprising one on the phone from the Gold Coast and two on the ground, there was an $850,000 start before selling at $1.1m to Noosa hinterland buyers wanting to be close to amenities.
“Built in 2000 and fairly original, the single-level villa suited downsizers,’’ Scott said. “It was perfect.’’
In other recent sales, a two-bedroom townhouse at 2/9 Robert St, Noosaville, went to multiple offers before selling for $911,500 to Brisbane buyers.
The manager’s apartment in Como, 4/169 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, sold for $1.67m to New Zealand buyers.
NOOSA HEADS AUCTIONS
The McLure Group have a string of auctions lined up this month – the first is at 12pm today, Friday, in Hastings St, Noosa Heads.

SYDNEY BUYERS ON THE MOVE
Stylish with clean modern lines, the two-storey house at 12 Headland Dve, Noosaville, has sold prior to today’s auction with Sam Plummer and Angela Wood of Noosa Estate Agents.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool on 704sq m backs onto parkland and playground.
“It has gone to Sydney buyers,’’ Sam Plummer said, “who are really looking forward to relocating.’’
Just listed is 26 Raini Cct in North Rise estate, that Sam describes as “a really nice home.’’
