Undisputedly stupendous jewel of the Noosa Hinterland

Admire dramatic hillsides sculpted by nature’s best verdant offerings, revel in the sweeping driveway wreathed by topiarised Ficus, be in awe of the centrepiece perched sublimely on an idyllic knoll which steals the limelight of the substantial estate, and sigh.

From the residence’s forecourt, step into the vast travertine-tiled vestibule, with timber beams and lofty-ceilings. There’s a sense of indisputable splendour, fashioned with clever design responses, surrounded by Mt Cooroy, lush rainforests also eagle’s eye views over the Coral Sea. This is a private, stunningly majestic oasis that totally connects to the spectacular location.

Inside, be instantly besotted. Parquetry flooring flows from the foyer and beyond, to a cathedral-height ceiling above designated formal dining and living with travertine flooring and dual stone fireplace feature wall. The spaces extend in a transparent fashion, out to a casual rock-walled dining terrace, while on the northerly aspect, indoors becomes outdoors with the most dazzling wet-edge pool and plush lawn on two sides, vying for attention.

Reminiscent of a museum of modern art and design, is a fine assemblage of chandeliers, lamps, bold lanterns and books, decadent furniture, as well as outstanding artworks and artifacts, many bearing the rich provenance of Africa and Asia.

Complementing the clever design and grandeur is the commercial-grade custom kitchen and butler’s pantry with leather-honed black granite bench tops, dark and light oak cabinetry with inlaid mesh, a wealth of absolutely high-end appliances, a cool room, also a wide electric powered picture window, which opens to a servery for the Mediterranean-style terrace with its pizza oven and fire pit.

The east wing is all about next level luxe, privacy and breathtaking. Occupied solely by the sumptuous master suite, sliding doors access a walkway, the sitting room spells relaxation, chandeliers ’dress’ the bedside tables, ensuite walls and floors are white honed leather marble, and drink in ravishing views from the over-size free-standing oval tub. There’s no denying the 70m2 dressing room with tactile surfaces and brown suede robe doors is every fashionista’s dream.

To one side of the master is a guest suite with marble floors and walls in the Ensuite and floor – to – ceiling built-in black suede-covered robes. Joined by covered walkway to the east of the dressing room is another marble Ensuited bedroom currently configured as a gym.

Downstairs in the east wing is a living area with kitchenette, a master-style bedroom with a bath in the ensuite, walk-in robe, and access to the covered walkway. In the west wing you find a similar stylish bedroom with matching features although with a more studio layout and views to Lake McDonald.

The highlight of downstairs, joining the east and west wings, is the state-of-the-art media room with feature screen, reclaimed Russian elm panelled wall and two portholes looking into the pool. In addition, there’s a second study and access to the humidity-controlled wine room and cellar with provision for 2,000 bottles.

Adding 6-star pizzaz to the understated glamour of this natural paradise is its helicopter landing pad designed by McDermott Aviation, a 5-person lift, a Tylo steam room, gymnasium and out-buildings which complement the residence and house machinery to uphold the botanical gardens-style landscaping.

“The sensitively crafted estate blends perfectly into the natural terrain and has sublime 180-degree views,“ comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart and principal Tom Offermann.

“It’s a place in which, somewhere between the sea spray of Noosa Main Beach 20-minutes away, and the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, it’s possible to lose yourself completely.
