The flags will be flying again next week when Penny Choyce and Anne Powell of Laguna Real Estate take two dwellings on 1.08ha at Doonan to auction.
The property, at 943 Eumundi-Noosa Rd, offers six bedrooms, three-plus bathrooms, swimming pool, sheds and dam.
Location as well as the variety of options on offer are proving to be the main appeal of the property, Penny said.
“We’re very excited, it’s a really special property.
“There’s nothing on the market that’s comparable because of the quality of the build.
“The second dwelling was created for the current owner to live in and rent out the main house.
“The idea was for it to look like a shed but when you walk inside it is a real surprise.
“There are many options on what to do in future.’’
Those who have inspected the property like the “wow’’ factor of the smaller house, also the position close Eumundi, Noosa, and the Sunshine Coast Airport.
Most inspections have been from local and Sunshine Coast interests, looking at the property being desirable for anyone looking to work from home or run a small business, with the potential for added income.
The dwellings are in an elevated part of the picturesque property and look over the dam.
The double-storey main home can be used for a family, for a multi-generational family as downstairs is a fully self-contained area. Alternatively, the whole main house could be rented.
It features expansive wrap-around verandas and outdoor areas.
The upper level features an expansive open-plan living area and a large state-of-the-art kitchen showcasing thick bookended marble benchtops, a 900mm gas cooktop, and ample slide-out storage.
Two bedrooms on this level enjoy the lovely rural views.
The private second dwelling boasts kitchen, living, two bedrooms and a bathroom. It has its own undercover outdoor area, spa, barbecue area and gardens.
There are two large sheds, a tandem carport, and a spring-fed dam with its own jetty.
The property goes to the market at 12pm on July 23.
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
“There’s nothing like enjoying the good life of Noosa Waters,’’ is a phrase often heard, but for Melburnians who bought 2 The Peninsula some years ago intending to use it for regular holidays, it didn’t eventuate, and remained empty most of the time.
A family on holidays from Sydney, never intending to buy, were attracted by the open for inspection of the four-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront residence with jetty, plus entrance on each of the two levels, listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Luke Chen and Lauren Chen. So smitten, they requested a second viewing.
Their plans changed to selling in Sydney, uprooting two teenage sons from school and the move to live in Noosa Waters became a reality.
With the post-auction price of $3.6m they’re now living the happily-ever-after in the now dream location and shopping for a boat.
It was a similar scenario at 502 The Ridge at 61 Noosa Springs Dve, Noosa Heads, a striking three-bedroom residence with central courtyard, terraces, pool, exquisite gardens, and captivating views, which on the north-side seemingly stretched beyond the boundary to a waterlily-dotted lake near the 16th fairway.
Listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Julie Bengtsson and sold at auction for $2.72m, the vendors, who had enjoyed 17 years of wonderful family holidays passed the keys to a very excited, young local family who will make it their home. The campaign drew a lot of positive feedback from those with owner-occupier interest, who are very familiar with Noosa Springs and looking for their happily-ever-after thing.
OCEAN, LAKE AND HINTERLAND VIEWS
It’s rare to get a great family home with three different views – ocean, lake and the hinterland ranges.
Yet that’s what’s on offer at 6 Lyrebird Ct, Peregian Beach.
Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the four-bedroom, four-bathroom, three-car house to auction on Saturday, July 23, at 1pm.
“It’s located at a very high point in a quiet cul-de-sac,’’ Tracy said, “with big living areas plus a great space to work from home, use as a teen retreat or a gym area.
“There are solar panels and solar hot water, and additional workshop/studio with bathroom.
“The inspections so far have been very positive.’’
In a dress-circle beachside setting, the family-friendly home has high ceilings and offers about 400sq m of living space.
There are two extremely large living areas and numerous entertaining decks, a wide entry hall and parquetry flooring.
On the entry level there are three spacious double bedrooms – one with its own private balcony and hinterland outlook.
The oversized double garage is fully tiled throughout.
Upstairs, is a huge open-plan living and dining space that spills directly out onto a large, covered, north-facing balcony with Lake Weyba views.
The kitchen features a large walk-in pantry and over-sized windows to take in the ocean outlook.
The upper level also offers the main bedroom suite with large walk in his-and-hers robe, and ensuite with spa and double basins.
COMFORTABLE LIVING
Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents report good numbers at the first open on Saturday for the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 9 Seacove Ct, Noosa Waters.
On a 787sq m corner block with two-car garaging, the property has a price guide from $2.50m.
“There are less numbers at the moment but more genuine buyers,’’ Scott said.
“It depends on the property you are dealing with.
“This property is really well presented – a lot of attention has been paid to detail.
“It’s a very comfortable home that has the ideal north-east aspect – it is open on three sides and has rear access.
“There is a beautiful connection between the indoor and outdoor living … it’s got a lot going for it.’’
Early interest has been from those looking for single-level living, and as well as local inquiry there are families relocating from Sydney and Melbourne.
The house features ducted air-conditioning, high, raked ceilings with bright sunlit interiors – the kitchen with a large servery window opens onto full-length decks overlooking a sparkling 9.5-metre in-ground pool.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Scott and Kelsie have an interesting listing fresh to the market this week – management rights at the Colonial Resort Noosa, on Gympie Tce at Noosaville.
It includes a free-standing house in Elizabeth St that is being use as the manager’s residence.
This is an opportunity to manage 15 – one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments, which are known to engage high-end clientele and ongoing repeat business due to the blue-chip location.
“It is a different prospect to normal,’’ Kelsie said, “as there will be substantial value just in the residence itself.
“It will appeal to someone who wants to live there and enjoy the benefit of the income.’’
The manager’s residence is a spacious stand-alone four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, plus a study and double lock-up garage.
The Colonial Resort Noosa features a 25m heated lagoon pool and spa, communal barbecue area, equipped gym, sauna and a variety of restaurants and shops within the building.
Expressions of interest are invited by August 5.
