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.

“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.’’
