Unbelievable, that’s how Trevor Mangels of Century 21 Conolly Hay Group describes the response to a striking property in the hinterland.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 1.99ha at 155 Seib Rd, Eumundi, comes with a free-standing guest cottage.
Set for auction at 12.15pm on Saturday, July 24, it is one of the nicest properties Trevor has had for sale.
The first open house saw the most groups attending in Trevor’s career, one that stretches back to July 1, 1985.
“I was blown away by the comments from people,’’ Trevor said.
“The owners are downsizing.
“The interest came from from everywhere … interstate, and local, Noosa Heads, the wider Sunshine Coast, and out to the Mary Valley.’’
Some were looking to be close to town. Others were looking for a lifestyle property.
Set among manicured gardens and grounds with a dam, it is a tranquil haven.
Affectionately known as The Farm, this luxurious property is surrounded by state forest and a large 400 acre property.
The original cottage has been lovingly transformed from a 90sq m dwelling into a 245sq m architect-designed masterpiece where old meets new in a wonderful way.
From spotted gum timber floors to a garden room with polished concrete floors are paired with a Glasshouse granite wall.
Oversized sliding timber panels open this space to the gardens to welcome the outside in.
The designer kitchen offers a seamless blend of appliances and warm finishes.
The living room is set under a soaring timber-beamed ceiling, while the bedrooms are impeccably finished. These include the plush main suite with a sky-high ceiling, plantation shutters, a walk-in robe and French doors that open out to a sunny patio.
The secondary bedroom is light-filled and spacious, set in its own wing with the study, laundry and central bathroom.
There is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage with an open-plan living space and a deck with a sensational outlook.
MELBURNIANS ON THE MOVE
It is a well-known fact Victorians love Noosa, all its natural assets and of course real estate.
With nine registered bidders and 29 keen onlookers at the Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tiffany Wilson’s listing of townhouse 2, at 12 Duke St, Sunshine Beach, strong bidding preceded the fall of the hammer. The thrilled Melburnian paid $1.36m.
Here for a flying visit, another Melburnian was so determined to purchase property before leaving that he rang Offermann’s Tracy Russell about the Tim Ditchfield-designed, free-standing luxury beach house 2 at 26 Peregian Esp, Peregian Beach.
Tracy had it slated for auction on Friday, July 16, but after his initial inquiry from the airport, followed by subsequent negotiations on the aircraft and back home in Melbourne, his mission was accomplished paying $3m. Naturally he was ecstatic.
INTERESTING PROPOSITION
Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate has a really interesting property in Sunseeker Cl, Noosaville, set for auction on Saturday, July 24.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car, free-standing home on one level is at 2/12 Sunseeker Cl.
“It’s rare for that position to have a single-level and free-standing home.
“There are parks and the water at the end of the street.
“This area is so sought-after and single-level living has remarkably broad appeal … downsizers, young professionals,.
“Going to the market for the first time in 21 years, it also offers renovation potential.
“There has been a permanent tenant for two decades.’’
Interest has been from locals downsizing, people planning on downsizing in the future and looking for investment return in the short term, so it can be short term as well as permanent rental.
There has been interstate interest as well as expats looking to use it as an investment in the short to medium term.
Features include the outdoor entertaining area that has great northerly aspect, along with the proximity to Noosa Village shopping centre and the river.
There is 3.3m-high pitched ceiling, wide windows on three walls and glass sliders accessing the courtyard.
Tucked between the dining and living spaces is a C-shaped kitchen with a window out to the terrace.
The townhome goes to auction at 1pm next Saturday.
IN THE HEART OF TEWANTIN
Light and bright, on one level, very low maintenance – the eight-year-old home with pool at 51 Werin St is in the heart of Tewantin.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house is set for auction at 2pm on Saturday, July 31.
Jannell Chataway of Laguna Real Estate said the house was positioned on a 505sq m allotment close to schools, shops, and river.
“It’s a great pocket – close to everything and especially appealing to families.
“The strongest interest is being shown by investors from southern states who are looking longer term.
“They are bringing their decision to move here forward five to six years.
“Working from home has changed that … they realise they can do it now.’’
Spacious, with open plan living/dining, high ceilings, and ducted air-conditioning, the floorplan sees the kitchen, dining and lounge overlook the back yard and pool.
The main bedroom looks to the entertaining area and pool. All bedrooms are carpeted with built-in wardrobes and fans.
Both the main bathroom and the ensuite are spacious and modern.
With no lawns to mow and a low maintenance yard, it seems like there will be action on auction day from mainly local and Brisbane interest.
SUNRISE IN DEMAND
Located in a sought-after Sunrise Beach enclave, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 10 Freedom Pl is listed for auction on Friday, July 30, at 1pm.
North-facing, the high-set home is on 910sq m with low maintenance native gardens.
It’s all about position, Leanne Southwell of Richardson & Wrench Noosa said.
“From here you can walk to the beach, shops, cafes, schools, aquatic centre and surf club.
“There is one road in and one road out of this exclusive precinct of residential homes for owner-occupiers.
“An underpass takes you through to the beach.
“Sunrise Beach is really increasing in value.
“The price growth this year has been unbelievable.’’
With street-level entry, the house offers multiple living areas and upstairs as well as downstairs rear outdoor entertaining decks.
Sunrise Beach offers a wonderful year-round lifestyle, Leanne said.
The house is a renovator from the mid 1990s.
With limited properties available in the enclave, the initial response has been from interstate buyers.
“When Covid first kicked off Sunshine Beach was the first to benefit. It was really reflected in sales prices.
“There were a lot of farmers along with high-profile buyers.
“Anyone who ever thought of owning in Noosa, one day, acted. They decided they were going to do it.
“They could see value in a beach lifestyle as opposed to city living.’’
