Three auctions, three hot spots and three successes for Tom Offermann Real Estate. First on the schedule and listed by agent Tiffany Wilson on the much coveted five-star Hilton Esp, was number 65 – a bright, white, two-level, riverhouse-style, design triumph.

Nestled amongst the serenity and the pristine nature of the Noosa River foreshore, there was much interest from Brisbane and interstate buyers.

However, on auction day it was down to two local buyers battling it out amongst a bevy of interested on-lookers.

It was sold under the hammer for $4.62m, and the buyers and sellers were ecstatic.

SURFSIDE SUCCESS

It was a beachside stunner in a totally private cul-de-sac of eight residences, abutting the Noosa National Park, with a 180-degree outlook and 150m to the sand.

That was what grabbed enormous attention in the lead-up marketing campaign.

Listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Tim McSweeney, 9 Surfside Ct at Sunshine Beach was declared “sold“ by auctioneer Gordon MacDonald at $4.59m.

LOCATION SAYS ’NOOSA’

It was billed as the “belle on the hill“ and not surprising given 5 Mainsails Sq, Noosa Heads, listed By Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Adam Offermann, has views arguably surpassing all others on Noosa Hill. Look over a vast coastal playground with the ocean and beaches stretching south along the coast on the left, in the front is Lake Weyba, its waterways, way beyond is the Blackall Range, Mt Tinbeerwah and the lush Noosa hinterland.

Sweeping right in the northerly direction, is the Noosa River. And let’s not forget the back garden abuts the Noosa National Park.

It sold under the hammer for $2.3m.

SERENITY ON THE RIVER

It’s a blend of serenity, the natural outlook, and the beauty of the property.

Complete with a 20-metre water frontage, jetty and beach, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house at 67 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore features a design that blends in with the natural surrounds.

On 1174sq m, the house is being taken to auction at 12pm on Wednesday, 19 June, by Adrian Reed and Taylor Clout of Reed & Co.

Early interest has been from interstate as well as local, Taylor said.

“Most people are familiar with the area and are wanting a property on the North Shore.

“A feature is the availability for it to be holiday-let.’’

The newly-built plantation-style river house presents a blend of modern architecture and natural charm.

There is a sense of grandeur with an expansive living area highlighted by elegant weatherboard detailing. The stylish kitchen features an abundance of storage and a seamless extension to a bar and office area.

From the dining area, doors open to a covered deck. This outdoor living space extends towards the water where the pool is bordered by lush landscaping.

There is also a private jetty with marine infrastructure that will allow for a larger vessel.

The opulent main bedroom suite, located on the upper level, offers a private sanctuary with stunning water views.

The additional guest accommodation is conveniently located on the same level as the main living area. Two of the guest bedrooms boast ensuites, while the other two bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom.

Each room within the home is crafted to enhance the bright, tactile environment that stimulates both visual and emotional senses.

There is impressive garaging that can accommodate up to five cars and is equipped with a workshop. The property has a 10kw solar system

and two large water tanks that store 50,000 litres.

OPPORTUNITY FOR RANGE OF BUYERS

A three-bedroom, one-bathroom, five-car house on 1716sq m at Cooroy offers an opportunity for young buyers as well as empty-nesters.

The property, at 28 Overlander Ave, goes to auction Wednesday, 12 June, at 12pm, with Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa.

Early inquiry has been from Sunshine Coast and locals, Jeanette said.

“Investors and couples where children have already left home have been among those who have inspected.

“The block size is the drawcard – and the shed.

“The house is well looked after and can always be extended.

“The first two open houses have been well attended and there are genuine interested parties already.’’

It’s the first time the property has been for sale in 35 years, and the house is air-conditioned with the tiled lounge room featuring exposed timber beams in the raked ceiling and which flows through to the kitchen and dining areas.

Freshly painted, there is new carpet and new curtains in the bedrooms, solar panels and a new outdoor entertaining area.

SOMETHING SPECIAL IN HASTINGS ST

Featuring a renovation by Gull Design, it is unusual in that in that two apartments have been combined to make one house-sized apartment, Peter said.

“It takes you by surprise, to have best of both worlds – views, the river and Hastings St on your doorstep.

“Interest has been from local and interstate interest.

“They see it as a lifestyle investment … they can see opportunity to get a substantial piece of Noosa real estate, and will be quite envious of new owner.’’

With two-car parking and a residents-only jetty, the apartment features open plan dining and living spaces. Bespoke curved timber walls with hidden cabinetry and integrated television, blend with ash-hued flooring and plush rugs.

A lengthy undercover terrace blurs the lines between the inside and out, highlighting the position and outlook.

There are the latest appliances including Miele cooktop, two ovens plus convection/micro and warming drawer; two Fisher & Paykel dish drawers, pantries, a hideaway bar and glass storage, and Samsung four-door smart fridge.

The premier bedroom suite retreat has adjustable zipped super king beds, Art Series smart television, a bedside cabinet bar, and opens out to the terrace and has those views – from bed.

Adjacent is a media room or potential fourth bedroom. A walk-in includes concealed jewellery storage and a safe, and the ensuite has wash-plane basins carved into granite-topped cabinetry, plus shower, bath and mirrored-fronted upper cabinetry.

Two big bedrooms on the north-east side with built-in robes, ensuite and kitchenette have dual key/private entry.
