It’s a beautiful four-year-old single level home in Noosa Springs, spacious with lake and golf course frontage.

Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property at 706A/61 Noosa Springs Dve to auction on Saturday, 22 July, at 12pm.

“The home has been built to a high level,’’ Peter said, “with extensive use of louvres to maximise air-flow and natural light.

“Facing dead north, the home gets all-day sun and is really quiet and private.

“The pool sits right on the lake … and this is probably one of youngest homes in the estate. ’’

On 825sq m with 20m of golf course frontage, to the third fairway, it enjoys further views to the ninth fairway.

Entry is by an over-sized, custom-designed glass and timber pivot door to ceilings of about 4.5m throughout.

There are VJ internal doors, air-conditioning, and an open-plan living/dining with tall stacker glass doors to the expansive outdoor entertaining terrace.

The kitchen features a 3m grey/white stone topped waterfall island bench/breakfast bar with 2-pac/timber upper cabinetry.

You have soft-close drawers, an AEG 900mm oven, micro/convection oven and five-hob gas cooktop, plus a Vintec wine fridge.

The butler’s kitchen comes with AEG integrated dishwasher and dual sinks.

There is alfresco living with outdoor granite-topped kitchen, integrated Beefeater barbecue, Schmick wine fridge, remote controlled blinds and fans.

A media room opens to the undercover courtyard.

The king-size main bedroom suite is resplendent with plantation shutters and louvres, giving pool and golf course outlook.

It also features a lavish walk-in-robe, ensuite with floor-to-ceiling grey travertine tiles, free-standing bath, oversized walk-in shower plus grey console with double, black, marble-topped vanity.

There are two more king-size bedrooms with ensuites, undercover terraces and path to pool.

The double garage is a picture, with epoxy flooring, high ceiling, storage drawers/cupboard, plus third parking space for golf cart and side access from a single roller door;

WIDE APPEAL

Saturday is looking to be quite special with Diana Pound of Century 21 Noosa taking a two-bedroom cottage charmer in Tewantin to auction at 1pm.

The energetic James Callianiotis will be auctioneer of the property at 78 Ward St, that is nestled into a stand of magnificent established trees, and shielded from the adjoining homes with lines of mango trees.

With one bathroom and four-car parking, the property is in the Old Tewantin precinct of Old Tewantin, catching the breezes from the river and within walking distance of the town centre.

The home has been in the hands of the same family since the early 1990s, Diana said.

There is side access to the rear of the block and the two-bay shed in the back corner.

Under the house is plenty of space to cater for hobbies and tandem parking for two cars.

“It’s a gorgeous little property,’’ Diana said, “and we’ve enjoyed a really good response.

“There have been a lot of local interest, some from builders, and those from out of the area looking for a retreat.

“The vendors have been realistic about where it’s value is.’’

“There are not many properties around of this size. And it’s elevated, so you get good breezes.’’

SPRING COMES EARLY

With some glorious sunny days it has been less like the middle of winter and more like spring.

And Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller is keeping ahed of the crowd with four auctions on the go.

Each is different and attracting a variety of interest groups.

A fully-renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 25 Aquamarine Cct, Noosaville, is the first to go to the market, at 1pm on Saturday, 22 July.

Then comes 99 Upper Hastings St, Noosa Heads, a three-bedroom architect-designed house that goes to auction at 11am Friday, 28 July.

On Saturday, 29 July, a commercial building and three waterfront apartments at 7 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, will be offered at 11am in conjunction with Jesse Stowers.

Later that day, at 3pm, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 7/39 Noosa Pde will be presented for competitive bidding.

The property at 25 Aquamarine Cct, Noosaville, is a real gem, Chris said.

“There is a lovely pool there. The property is being very well received.

“We are getting strong inquiry numbers and well-attended open homes.

“What people are loving is that it’s a single-level home that is immaculately presented but also has generous outdoor spaces and gardens. That’s unusual for these areas.

“There is the pool, undercover areas, lawns and gardens plus a reserve at the back fence.’’

The house has been fully renovated in and out over time, and immaculately maintained. There is storage and mud room in the garage, as well as side access for the boat or trailer.

The house comes with a stunning Scandinavian beach house-inspired feel characterised by multiple light-filled leisure spaces and materials such as timber and stone.

There is a seamless connection to the massive, north-facing undercover alfresco entertaining terrace, the luminescent pool and flourishing sub-tropical gardens.

For something completely different, the Gabriel Poole-designed house at 99 Upper Hastings St is up amongst the tree canopy near Noosa National Park.

The response has been extremely strong, with Little Cove one of the most tightly-held precincts in Noosa Heads and this being the only house available there at the moment.

INTERSTATE INTEREST

Dean McLure at McLure Prestige has seen a very strong response right from the start of the marketing campaign for a five-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 50 Shipyard Cct, Noosa Waters.

Being marketed by an expressions of interest campaign closing 24 July, it is mainly appealing to interstate interest – Sydney than any other area.

“So many people are looking at coming up from the Northern Beaches of Sydney,’’ Dean said, “more so than Melbourne.

“The home has been renovated to a very high standard and is being very well received as turn-key property … everything has been done and thought of.

“It caters for a demographic that is looking for a family home yet on a single level.

“It flows seamlessly.’’

What the market is starting to experience is a longer decision-making process than before, Dean said.

During Covid from listing to the sale of a property was about two weeks.

Now it is more drawn out … more conditions due to the sentiment in the market place.

“People are still looking for a change of life,’’ Dean said, “and choosing Noosa for a simpler life in a coastal area and being mortgage free.

“Before, people were making decisions around freedom. Now it is very much based on financial situations.

“People have been taught some lessons on what is important in life.’’

With five magnificent bedrooms, two elegant bathrooms, two full powder rooms, and a separate study, the Shipyard Cct property comes with a selection of living areas.

At the heart of the home lies the ultra-stylish chef’s kitchen, with soft-close 2-pac cabinetry, sumptuous stone benchtops, and a suite of European appliances including dual Neff ovens, warming drawers, a V-ZUG induction hotplate, a Schweigen silent rangehood, and a Miele semi-integrated dishwasher.

A well-appointed butler’s pantry, features an all-in-one Zip tap, Fisher & Paykel dish drawers, and stone benchtops.

Another property Dean is marketing is 13 Topsails Place, Noosa Waters, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront home with pool.

It is being marketed by an expressions of interest campaign, also closing on 24 July, and attracting a very strong response.

“This is a beautiful, open-plan home that is being very well received,’’ Dean said. “There are interested parties stepping forward.’’
