Step back in time to claim the future

A five-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 12-car house, with pool, tennis court, studio, on 3.59ha, at 61 Sivyers Rd, Tinbeerwah, goes to auction Saturday, 6 December, at 12pm. 515565_06

It’s a remarkable home – one that is part of the Noosa story.

Tracing its origins to the founding families of the Noosa region, the 3.60ha property at Tinbeerwah stands as both a testament to legacy and contemporary refinement.

Beau Lamshed at Tom Offermann Real Estate is marketing the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom house at 61 Sivyers Rd that comes with pool, tennis court, pecan plantation and 12-vehicle garaging.

It is set for auction at 12pm on Saturday, 6 December.

Linked to the Sivyer family who were involved in the creation of Devon Park in the late 1800s, the property offers a combination of access and privacy.

Poised on its own elevated plateau, the landscape unfolds in rolling green slopes, shimmering treetops, morning birdsong, private gardens, and old-world charm, Beau said, creating a sanctuary of beauty, history, and distinction.

At the summit of the estate lies an architectural masterpiece of enduring craftsmanship.

Meticulously revived and timelessly re-imagined, the interiors are generous and light-filled, with expansive living and dining areas that are sheltered beneath soaring gabled ceilings dotted with crystal chandeliers.

It uses timber that cannot be milled any more. The beams that shoulder the ceilings are carved from some of the final logs of the everlasting Tasmanian huon pine.

“With stately wrought-iron entry gates, this is an estate in every sense of the word,” Beau said.

A majestic Canary Island palm crowns the grand circular entrance. As such, it carries the quiet dignity of another era.

Every bend of the path, bough of the trees and fortifying pillar speaks of heritage, quality and class.

The interiors of the home feature expansive living and dining areas that are sheltered beneath soaring gabled ceilings dotted with crystal chandeliers.

The four bedrooms include a luxurious main suite with grand dressing room and spa ensuite.

Multiple formal and informal living areas flow to alfresco terraces and decks, complete with wood-fire pizza oven.

A gourmet kitchen features bespoke farmers cabinetry, hand-finished Italian granite benchtops, and a suite of premium Smeg and Miele appliances. There are dual extractors, a six-burner gas cooktop, dual ovens with a steam oven and warming tray, and a Zip tap.

The bathrooms are fitted with heated towel rails throughout, while the main ensuite is further elevated by luxurious heated flooring.

A swim-up bar is part of the lagoon-style pool with spa, and there is a separate powder room with western cedar sauna.

As well as a separate, fully-equipped studio there is a dedicated retreat for children.

The estate also offers a full-size floodlit tennis court, private gym, and extensive storage facilities.

Yet there is a vibrant fruit orchard as well as established trees and a cinematic pecan grove.

Gentle slopes are fully fenced, while a three-bay barn shed and storage space offering versatility.

IN THE HEART OF LITTLE COVE

Set right in the heart of Little Cove, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house at 4 Little Cove Rd is set for auction Saturday, 6 December, at 10am.

Nic Hunter at Tom Offermann Real Estate is marketing the property that he describes as “a really nice site in the centre of quality homes.”

Little Cove is a highly-sought enclave surrounded by the sea and Noosa National Park, within an easy walk of Hastings St.

“There is a great sense of community,” Nic said, “and it’s wonderful to get something available for sale.

“Little Cove is a place to come home to – offering filtered views through the trees of the beaches.”

After 35 years of holiday memories the time is ready to pass the baton on.

There have been mid-week inspections as well as weekends that have attracted interstate interest, also those looking for an escape from the city.

“They love the proximity to Main Beach and the fact there is virtually no through traffic as such.”

The Mediterranean-inspired residence is private and ostensibly built into the contours of the land to create an idyllic connection to the great outdoors.

The house comes with tnorth-facing terraces on both levels that cleverly take prized place in the sun.

Together with the brushbox flooring, the centre of attraction is an ever-so high void with glass ceiling. Below, there is balustrading with guitar tensioners creatively connected to the nautically-inspired curved western red cedar staircase.

The living space has a wood-burner fireplace and separate dining area with slide-away, cedar-framed doors to the undercover terrace.

Numerous doors have been lovingly hand-crafted in various exotic timbers such as Papua New Guinea walnut, plus unique diffused glass panes.

The U-shaped kitchen comes with curved, black-topped birds-eye jarrah on the high and prep benches, also wall cabinetry. A suite of Bosch appliances is augmented by a Samsung icemaker fridge.

Easy access from the garage after unloading a big shop makes life easier; an expansive courtyard suggests long lunches; and the laundry is close too.

A leisure space on the upper level features a serious bar, in jarrah cabinetry, with a sink, bar fridge and window opening to the northerly terrace.

On the south side is an expansive studio with exposed beams and ceiling, plus a wall of storage.

Two bedrooms are on the upper floor including a white, bright main retreat with access to the north terrace, also a walk-in robe and ensuite with spa bath.

In the east wing the bedroom has built-in robes and an ensuite-style bathroom plus separate toilet. On the ground floor the bedroom has a high ceiling, accesses the north undercover terrace, a bathroom ensuite with a bathtub, as well as an adjacent two-way powder room.

ON NOOSA’S DOORSTEP

There has been a massive response to an acreage property at Weyba Downs that is set for auction at 10am on Friday, 5 December.

Caroline Johnston and Daniel McAlpine at Hinternoosa are marketing the 6390sq m property at 71 Paradise Dve.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, seven-vehicle house comes with dam and shed.

“There have been heavy inspections on weekends and midweek,” Caroline said. “Mostly locals – some looking for their children.

“We are getting a lot of referrals, as they have been mentioning it to extended families.

“There has been interstate interest, and buyers looking to renovate. There are massive opportunities as it is a virtual blank canvas.

“It has been held in the family for more than 35 years. The property has minimal trees, there is a gentle slope and it is flood free.”

Central Sunshine Coast and the hinterland interests can see value in the location. There is an environmental nature reserve at the back so it is private yet not far from Lake Weyba.

The solid brick of the home provides the chance to refresh or modernise. It offers warmth and functionality with multiple living zones, spacious bedrooms including main with walk-through wardrobe to ensuite.

There is good indoor-outdoor flow to the undercover timber decked area while the kitchen is open plan and overlooks the dining area as well as the entertaining deck. It includes dishwasher, laminate benches and has ample storage.

A dam is surrounded by greenery while a fully-powered, three-bay shed offers workshop space, storage or a hobby retreat.

The 2.9m-high double carport accommodates larger vehicles.

Immersed in nature and framed by the canopy of Spoonbill Park Reserve, a reimagined residence at Peregian Beach blends refined craftsmanship with understated coastal elegance.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, three-car house with pool at 23 Spoonbill St goes to auction Friday, 5 December, at 11am with Tracy Russell at Tom Offermann Real Estate.

“People are loving the serenity,” Tracy said. “It’s very private.

“You walk in to a grassed area and there is greenery everywhere. The birdsong is amazing.”

The stylish house is move-in ready. Highlights are the beautiful outdoor fireplace and that there are no-chemicals in pool.

There is a Santa Fe feel to it while 4m-high ceilings create light-filled interiors.

Interest is mainly from Brisbane and locals or those from the land downsizing to a stylish home.

Professionally landscaped by In Style Habitat, the grounds centre around an expansive timber deck and magnesium mineral pool.

The main bedroom retreat offers a tranquil escape with a travertine-clad ensuite, free-standing bath and a north-east terrace overlooking the treetops.

Across two levels are four bedrooms, a premium kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, generous living, study nooks and private decks.
