It’s a wonderful time of year in Noosa with the smell of frangipani flowers in the air and the red of the poinciana blossoms creating a blaze of colour.
Visitors have been enjoying themselves during the holiday period and there has been strong inquiry in property, despite the early rain.
Patrick and Clare Sherwood of Tom Offermann Real Estate had 26 groups through the lakefront Tewantin residence at the first open for inspection.
That number will swell to almost 100 before the three-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-car free-standing lakefront residence at 1/1 Werin St goes to auction Saturday, 20 January, at 3pm.
Most of the early interest has been from locals downsizing or making a sidewise move, Clare said, as well as those from Brisbane looking for a weekender.
The main appeal has been the complete lake frontage, the private location and the fact it is presented new.
Having lift access from the three-car garage adds to the appeal.
The free-standing residence has constantly-changing, 270-degree across Lake Doonella.
A brilliant red poinciana almost frames the statement front entrance that comes with a split-marble feature.
Completed in December 2023 and designed by architect Peter Willis, the home encapsulates the secluded and private location.
The open-plan living space comes with plush carpet and eco-gas fireplace, while a wall of glass sliders seemingly disappear to reveal the undercover alfresco terrace and the water views.
Alternatively, the living and dining spaces open on the favoured north side to a wide sun terrace and luminescent pool.
The very chic galley kitchen features a white-tiled floor, stone-topped cabinetry including an island/breakfast bar, appliance cupboard/pantry, soft-close drawers and the latest Bosch appliances including a gas cooktop.
On the entry level is the premier bedroom suite with a picture window wall and again those 270-degree views.
There is a built-in robe and ensuite with cream marble-topped, two-basin cabinetry, free-standing bathtub, separate toilet and shower areas plus access to the laundry chute. Adjacent is a leisure/relaxation space with a built-in robe while a dedicated office adjacent to the entry foyer is fitted with custom cabinetry.
On the ground level are two large bedrooms with built-in robes, bathroom and one with wide lake views.
Interestingly, the garage not only has room for multiple vehicles and water toys, but there is also storage a-plenty and the lift to the upper level.
NOOSA SPRINGS ATTRACTS INTEREST
The appeal of a gated estate and no through traffic is being highlighted at Noosa Springs, according to Tom Offermann agent Clare Sherwood.
The inquiry has been from interstate but also local, Clare said, due to the quality of the properties but also the privacy of the golf course estate. Most of the inquiry has been from open homes.
Clare and Patrick Sherwood are marketing a four-bedroom, four-bathroom, two-car golf-front house with pool at 521/61 Noosa Springs Dve for $5.75m.
They also have a five-bedroom, two-bathroom Noosa Waters home listed at $1.79m.
The property, at 46 Shipyard Cct, has two-car garaging, pool and a 715sq m block that offers privacy due to it’s cul-de-sac position and established gardens.
SLICE OF PARADISE
It’s new to the market and something to get excited about.
Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate has a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 8301/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, he is taking to auction Saturday, 3 February, at 1pm.
“It’s exceptionally well positioned,’’ Chris said. “A recently-refurbished two-bedroom apartment with northerly aspect ensuring it is nice and bright.
“This apartment is beautifully presented and shows good strong returns.’’
It also highlights the importance of location, as it is at the heart of Noosa Heads.
As part of Pepper’s Noosa Resort & Villas it is a few minutes walk to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach yet also handy to Noosa National Park.
Perched among the treetop canopy, it features a galley kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry including a semi-island breakfast bar, a pastel grey-tiled splashback and premium appliances.
There are two bedrooms with the king main suite having access to the terrace, while the ensuite bathroom comes with spa bath.
The twin bedroom with a built-in robe, bathroom and powder room, is along the hallway from the entry foyer, along with the fully-kitted out laundry.
TREETOP VILLA
Chris Miller has another property in Peppers Resort coming to the market in February – a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car villa.
“This is a unique opportunity,’’ Chis said. “There is just the one – it’s really spacious and completely wrapped in the rainforest of national park surrounds.
“Exceptionally private in this natural setting, it has the benefit of two-car lock-up garaging.’’
HINTERLAND OPPORTUNITIES
It’s a stunning property in a blue chip hinterland location at the foot of Cooroy Mountain.
Jeanette Catalano and Kess Prior at Hinternoosa are marketing the three-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool and floodlit tennis court on 10.38ha at 51 Lone Hand Rd, Eumundi. There’s even a conference centre, dam and a helicopter landing pad.
The architect-designed home was built by Ron Scholes for the owners and it has been immaculately renovated over the past year.
It embraces the northerly aspect and contains exceptional office space as well as gymnasium.
A terraced patio extends across the full width of the residence, and a 12-metre suspended pool curves around the home’s stylish semi-circular edge.
As well as gated entry there is Control 4 Home Automation system and C-bus lighting. A storage area would be ideal for a wine collection.
The conference centre is totally separate from the house and overlooks the dam.
For sale at offers over $6.50m, it is smack-bang in the heart of the hinterland’s golden triangle.
Coming to the market by auction in February is a house on 1.25acres at Doonan with ocean glimpses.
Tightly held for the past 20 years, the property has a pool and shed, and has been featured in home magazines.
Another new listing with the Hinternoosa team will be a small acreage with large home at Cooroibah. With pool and shed, it is likely to be listed in excess of $2.1m.
