A five-bedroom waterfront house in Noosa’s famed Witta Ccl has sold at auction for a Sunshine Coast record of $17.6m.
The house, on 610sq m at 31 Witta Ccl, features a showpiece wet-edge pool, sand beach and jetty.
Gillian McCauley and Shane McCauley of Richardson & Wrench Noosa had, as expected, significant enquiry during the marketing campaign.
There were four registered bidders from Sydney, Melbourne and local for the 11am Saturday auction.
“There is so much money in Noosa at the moment,’’ Shayne said, “so locals are very active.’’
With a start of $15m, the house, with six bathrooms and secure parking for three vehicles, sold under the hammer for $17.6m
It marks he highest sale under the hammer on the Sunshine Coast, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald said.
The property has been approved for short-term letting and that appealed to the Melbourne buyers, as well as the location as it looks across the water to a bushland backdrop yet within walking distance of Hastings St and Main Beach.
The buyers intend to refurbish the house initially and will make it their home.
Other interests were going to renovate or rebuild.
The flexibility of the floorplan was another driver of interest. The indoor-outdoor living design ensures seamless integration of comfort with leisure.
Spacious living areas are part of the open-plan design, along with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a soothing palette.
There are five bedrooms, each with a private ensuite, including a main bedroom suite with a balcony overlooking the river.
A chef’s kitchen and expansive bar come with bar seating and a stand-alone bar.
Split-system air-conditioning has been installed throughout, and there is gated access.
THE HEART OF SUNSHINE
It’s in a great street, opposite the beach yet in close proximity to everything in Sunshine.
Tiffany Wilson and Roark Walsh of Tom Offermann Real Estate are taking a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment at 1/5 Belmore Tce, Sunshine Beach, to auction Saturday, 12 April, at 12pm.
The apartment is on level one, and has been held for about 20 years.
The strong holiday bookings it enjoys are testament to how much people love this apartment.
Tiffany said that as well as overlooking the heated swimming pool, some of most expensive real estate in Noosa shares the same view.
In a sunbathed end-position apartment in La Mer Sunshine, it’s virtually front-row beachfront living.
Filled with natural light, this two-bedroom apartment enjoys excellent cross-ventilation for sea breezes.
An open plan living, dining and kitchen area flows to the covered terrace, and the galley-style kitchen with an island bench provides a gathering place for conversation.
Terrace access comes with the large main bedroom, complemented by an spacious ensuite with built-in robe.
The second bedroom has a peaceful garden outlook. Both bedrooms benefit from individual split-system, air-conditioners and are separated by the main bathroom and internal laundry.
The apartment is being offered fully furnished and is in the holiday letting pool.
LOCATION SAYS IT ALL
Just steps away from the sand, and close to the Duke St shops, a beach house at 23 Ross Cres, Sunshine Beach says so much about the benefits of location.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool goes to auction 11.15am Saturday, 12 April, with Mike Hay and David Conolly of Century 21 Conolly Hay Group Noosa.
“It’s been held for 16 years,’’ Mike said. “The people love it.
“You can throw a stone onto the sand from here.
“This is a big house – elevated, solid with suspended slab.
“You can see see to Caloundra to the south and the headlands of the national park to the north.’’
Brisbane, local and interstate interests are expected to be main groups to enquire.
Beautifully presented, the house is spread over multiple levels and the layout has been designed to offer room to spread out and relax while also taking full advantage of the ocean views.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and family room are on the upper level with banks of glass doors leading to the wrap-around balcony.
Soaring ceilings enhance the sense of space, including in the kitchen with a walk-in pantry, breakfast bar seating and a suite of quality appliances.
A powder room is also on this level, along with the main bedroom, boasting an ensuite and an attached balcony.
Three more bedrooms are downstairs, including two with walk-in robes and glass doors to yet another covered outdoor area.
Two bedrooms and a second living zone add to the versatility of this level and there’s a dedicated office.
Among the extensive list of quality features is the functional laundry room, with storage, a double lock-up garage, a solar panel system and a sparkling swimming pool.
