If there’s one thing that stands out about Little Cove it’s the immediate connection you have to the sheer beauty of the natural environment.
The tightly-held enclave backs onto Noosa National Park and has the blue waters of Laguna Bay at the doorstep.
Then there’s the convenience of being able to walk down to Hastings St.
Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate has a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment coming to auction this month in the highly-sought Cove Point complex.
Perfectly positioned above First Point, the set of eight apartments are nestled on the ridge between Little Cove and Laguna Bay’s Main Beach.
The apartment at 5/18 Park Rd, Noosa Heads, is a get-away location and listed for auction at 11am on Saturday, August 27.
On the doorstep of Little Cove Beach and Noosa National Park, it features raked ceilings, massive living spaces, and a thoughtful design that blends a cool coastal aesthetic with relaxed luxury.
Disappearing sliding doors open to a wide terrace with filtered northerly views extending from Laguna Bay and Main Beach to the Coloured Sands.
The large U-shaped, bright, white kitchen with stone bench tops and breakfast bar, has plenty of storage plus appliances.
There is designer artwork, two leather sofas, marble-topped coffee table, also comfortable chairs around the glass-topped dining table.
Off the hallway in the south-east wing are two bedrooms with built-in robes. Both bedrooms have national park-like outlook and access their own bathroom, one with a dedicated laundry space.
“The apartment has been owned since 1988,’’ Luke said.
“The location is first-class.
“It’s such a good building and has the perfect vantage point … private while looking down on First Point.
“There are some trees in the view but there is a lot of blue.
“The apartments are staggered up the rise so there is no-one above you – they are behind.’’
Luke has good interest … mainly from interstate and from Victoria in particular.
The apartment has been stylishly updated and includes a Kelvinator two-door fridge; Westinghouse double oven plus four-hob cooktop, and Dishlex dishwasher.
The 6.9m by 1.5m terrace comes with outdoor furniture, umbrella and barbecue.
There is a residents/visitors-only pool that heats automatically if water temperature drops below 27 degrees.
NOOSAVILLE ESCAPE
Father and daughter team Luke and Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate have listed a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment 150m from the Noosa River.
The apartment 201/299 Weyba Rd, Noosaville, is listed at $629,000 and would appeal either as a holiday pad or the next place to call home.
“Front row positions are usually top of the list,’’ Luke said, “but nowadays that’s something becoming more and more difficult to achieve without a considerable price-tag.’’
This is the opportunity to purchase in the golden triangle of Noosaville and still be close to the buzz of Gympie Tce.
Al Rio is a single-level corner apartment providing privacy from the rest of the complex and amongst manicured gardens.
It is open for inspection Saturday, August 20, from 12-12.30pm.
SERENE SETTING
Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville of Noosa Estate Agents have a new listing in a sought-after part of Noosa Heads.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 19 Sleepy Hollow Dve, Noosa Heads, has been launched with a price guide from $1,600,000.
Quietly located in a sought-after leafy enclave, this immaculate home has been thoughtfully transformed with modern coastal living in mind.
Spacious light-filled, open-plan living areas flow onto a generous entertainers deck through large glass sliding stacking doors.
The north-facing deck is fully covered and overlooks the glistening in-ground pool with landscaped garden surrounds.
A modern central kitchen has Bosch appliances, reconstituted stone bench tops and features a servery window to the outdoor entertaining area.
The dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen and a second living area provides quiet space away from the family room.
There are three bedrooms – main overlooks the pool and has a private ensuite.
The two guest rooms have built-in robes, ceiling fans and share the second bathroom.
Tropical gardens surround the home and the yards are fully fenced.
Other features include a double carport with security gated access, large workshop or storage room, and internal laundry.
Air-conditioning and new doors and windows have been fitted throughout.
Opposite Weyba Park, it is handy to Noosa Junction shopping, Noosa Farmers Markets and the Noosa River.
The Weyba Park precinct is seeing a lot of rebuilding going on as people realise the value of its position.
“It’s so central yet quiet,’’ Scott said. “There is no through traffic yet close to the shops and the river.
“This is really easy living – all on one level and offering nice space
“There has been an extension of the living area to the pool, as well as the big double carport and workshop.
“This is a house with character.
“People walk in and warm to it quickly.’’
Early interest has been interstate mingled in with locals.’’

FRIDAY, August 26
Robyn Reid of Tom Offermann Real Estate has listed something a little bit out of the ordinary in Bluefin Ct, Noosaville.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car townhouse with pool at 2/65 Bluefin Ct, is set for auction at 1pm on Friday, August 26.
“To get a four-bedroom apartment in Bluefin is a rarity,’’ Robyn said.
“It’s a fabulous property … private yet so close to everything.’’
The beauty is it has a main bedroom or guest suite on the ground level, which is appealing to those wanting to downsize.
It is mainly locals who know the area that have been through the open homes so far.
Yet the townhouse is also proving attractive to those who want a bit more space, and the lay-out as well considering the easy access to the outdoor living.
