Elysium Noosa has turned out to be a winner for families as the boutique estate filled up with a broad range of house designs.
“There’s lots to love about living in Elysium,’’ Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Erica Newton said, “especially when there is a park at the end of the street, cycle and walking tracks around the estate, along Lake Weyba, and also through part of the Noosa National Park.’’
Such was the case for 4 Bennets Ash Rd, Noosa Heads, that Erica took to auction at the weekend.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence attracted much interest from locals as well as Sydney and Melbourne buyers, also several bidders on auction day.
However, it was Brisbane buyers who were excited to move into their new home, close to so many amenities including the resident’s-only private recreational facility. It was sold under the hammer for $1.6m.
PICTURE-PERFECT LITTLE COVE
The cachet of Little Cove is unequivocal, and a whole-floor apartment 3 with a pool at 54 Park Rd proved irresistible to buyers early in the campaign. With sweeping views across Noosa Main Beach, Laguna Bay, Coloured Sands and beyond to Double Island Point plus Noosa National Park on the doorstep, Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter, said little wonder it was snapped up prior to auction.
FEELS LIKE HOME
Caitlyn McConnell at Sunshine Beach Real Estate had good early interest in the three-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 15 McAnally Dve, in the North Sunshine Beach precinct.
At a beachside location in this sought-after street, there were two registered bidders on Saturday and a start at $3.6m.
The property sold under the hammer for $4.2m to a local family returning to Sunshine Beach from Noosa Heads.
The appeal was the breaking wave views, a relaxed beach house they could put their stamp on, and the community/village feel of Sunshine, Caitlyn said.
LOCATION SPEAKS LOUDLY
There’s a nice feel to the waterside home on Lake Weyba Drive at Noosaville and it is attracting strong interest ahead of auction.
Tiffany Wilson at Tom Offermann Real Estate is marketing the five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 95 Lake Weyba Dve in conjunction with colleague Nic Hunter.
It goes to the market at 12pm on Saturday, 27 July.
“People have been coming through the open homes,’’ Tiffany said. “This is a street people have had their eye on for such a long time.
“The more time you spend in the house, the more you realise how unique the outlook is … and the community is fantastic.
“This is a very clear location with regard to the lookout – and the design honours the location of the house. There is the water and the national park.’’
Locals have predominantly been those showing most interest … some looking to move from the hinterland and not willing to lose the privacy and nature yet appreciate the proximity to services. Others have dreamed of waterfront.
The contemporary residence designed by Sketchi Architects and constructed by MGQ Builders, is timeless. It engages with structural simplicity, based on function, form and respect for an idyllic subtropical climate that blends with the outdoors.
Vaulted ceilings and walls of glass attract natural light that falls across white polished concrete floors downstairs and blackbutt timber in the expansive living areas upstairs.
There are multiple living areas across two levels, gourmet galley kitchen with high-end Smeg appliances, and a luxurious upstairs main bedroom suite with walk-in robe and ensuite.
Multiple terraces include a 5m by 7.2m undercover alfresco area and 4.9m by 8m pool with sun terrace.
The upper level boasts beautiful blackbutt timber flooring and raked ceilings. The expansive living and dining areas provide a seamless connection to the north-eastern undercover terrace, showcasing a180-degree view of Lake Weyba waterways and foreshore.
DESIGNED WITH LIFESTYLE IN MIND
Anyone who has been inside a Frank Macchia-designed house will understand the importance he puts on family.
The living areas, the kitchens, the alfresco dining … they are the heart of a home.
They encourage family gatherings around the table where meals are served and conversation is shared.
That sense of family generally spills out onto the gardens, the pool areas or the waterfront.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom property at 4 The Anchorage, Noosa Waters is a fine example of Macchia’s work.
Set on 1049sq m, it is scheduled for auction Friday, 26 July, at 12pm with Rick Daniel and Kym De Warren of Coastal Noosa.
Positioned on the water, the meticulously maintained property has its emphasis on the utmost privacy.
With a beautiful streetscape, there is an atrium, floor-to-ceiling curved walls, louvered windows and a view to the outdoor living area.
The upper level is dedicated to the main bedroom suite, including studio with expansive views of the canal.
There are three internal living areas and multiple indoor/outdoor living areas. An automated Vergola louvred roof system closes when it rains.
The designer kitchen, offering a private view of the waterway, includes a double-fridge space, ample cabinetry, five-burner cooktop and a 900mm oven.
A second living area features a built-in timber fireplace, while an office with a separate entry can also serve as a fourth bedroom.
The resort-style swimming pool, with 17m lap section, looks out to the waterway.
A second driveway suits a trailer, jet ski or boat.

The house was in a dilapidated condition but it has been fully restored to one of the highest in finishes and would suit private or acreage buyers.
The Queensland-style, four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool on 1032sq m at 16 Miva St, Cooroy, goes to auction Saturday, 27 July, at 2pm.
