Noosa’s eastern beaches offer tremendous value when you consider what is on offer.
Beachside living within walking distance of kilometre upon kilometre of spectacular coastline with the Noosa National Park as a backdrop.
Going to auction on Saturday, 6 May, at 10am is a comfortable single-level home on 800sq m at Marcus Beach.
Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 16 Sandalwood Cl to the market at 10am.
Situated in a tightly-held street with northerly aspect over bushland, it is an immaculate home, Tracy said.
It is an excellent residence designed with functionality, and offers privacy as well as a beautiful backdrop while still within walking distance of the beach.
The property features an exotic front garden reminiscent of a piece of Mexico, with Madagascar palms and silver torches, cycads, elkhorns and ferns along the pathway.
There is a shaded terrace and when the door is opened, and a hallway that appears to stretch forever.
High ceilings allow the natural light to drench the expansive sunken lounge thanks to doors opening to the undercover terrace.
The dedicated dining space with a wall of timber sash windows also looks out to the terrace which continues to wrap the eastern side.
Be surprised with the extent of the land and how paperbacks adorned with elkhorns, abut the Noosa National Park.
The botanical-like gardens are beautifully landscaped with a variety of plantings from vines to succulents, the veggie patch is a cook’s dream and the extra-large greenhouse has power and an auto irrigation system.
Whether outside on the terrace or inside, every living space is impressively spacious and spells serious options for entertaining.
Needless to say, the kitchen with stone-topped white cabinetry including a semi-island, cool green and aqua-toned splash back also high-end appliances, is commensurate.
Surrounded by nature, dreamtime comes naturally in the four carpeted and sizeable bedrooms with plantation shutters.
The main suite/retreat has a walk-in robe, ensuite and opens to the terrace, and three queen-size bedrooms have built-in robes and share a bathroom with timber cabinetry, bathtub and a separate toilet. The laundry is nearby.
VACANT BLOCK BRINGS IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
Little Cove has 107 house sites, four of which are vacant.
Everyone wants one, due to it’s position between ocean and national park.
There are no through roads. People come here to swim in at the beach or walk in the park.
Imagine the response Tom Offermann Real Estate father-and-daughter team of Luke and Lauren Chen are getting on one of those final four blocks of land.
The vacant 610sq m residential block at 11 Little Cove Rd, Noosa Heads, goes to auction at 10am Saturday, 13 May.

“Inquiry is from all over the country,’’ he said.
“Particularly from Victorians who like swimming at Little Cove and are wanting to build a nice place.’’
Part of the appeal of Little Cove is the architecture in the area, generally sensitive or sympathetic with the environment.
“lt is a special place,’’ Luke said. “The people who live there want to enjoy the natural appeal.’’
New house sales range from $9-10m without views, while those with views are looking around $20m.
This property can only be a house site.

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront apartment on Noosa Sound has brought amazing levels of interest since being launched to the market on Anzac week.
Luke and Lauren Chen at Tom Offermann Real Estate have been “thumped with inquiry’’ on the Culgoa Point .. launched Anzac week and thumped with inquiry.

Acreage is still the flavour of the year, according to Alisa Wythes at Hinternoosa.
Activity in the hinterland is busier than ever, particularly with the style and quality of properties that are on offer.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car lakeside house on 4.01ha at 92 Hoy Rd, Lake Macdonald, sold immediately after auction last Saturday.
With tennis court, gazebo-style circular covered outdoor entertainment area, and double-bay shed, the quality home by Harold Boreham attracted seven registered bidders.
In the end it came down to two but neither would budge at $1.9m so it sold immediately after under auction conditions to a Brisbane buyer.
