Noosa continues to appeal to property buyers, probably because of lockdowns in capital cities rather than despite them.
The sale under the hammer on Saturday of the designer house at 8 Stevens St, Sunshine Beach, for $9,025,000 created a suburb record for a non-beachfront house in the popular oceanfront community.
Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the Chris Clout-designed four-bedroom, five-bathroom house with pool attracted a huge level of local and interstate inquiry.
“It stood out,’’ he said. “It was a beautiful home and had broad appeal.
“The volume of inquiry was something like I had not seen before.
“Especially the numbers of high-end interest.’’
There were six registered bidders for the property.
“It was an excellent campaign,’’ Peter said.
“The property had ’wow’ factor, the way it was designed for the environment.
“It was perfect to capture the Queensland lifestyle.
“I sold the vendors the block four years ago and they saw the vision.
“The buyer was from interstate. So was the underbidder but they know the Sunshine Beach market intimately.
“I met a large number of people during the campaign who know the area – some have grown up here and know what’s on offer, what Noosa real estate offers.’’
BIG WIN FOR BELFA
Easy to see why Cooloolah Estate is gathering momentum as a desirable address.
It’s in the heart of Noosa Heads, close to Noosa Junction, dotted with parks and close to a golf course.
On a perfect winter’s days and with an excited crowd of young families and investors, including 10 registered bidders, auctioneer Gordon MacDonald called “sold” on the Lauren Chen and Luke Chen-listed 10 Belfa Pl, Noosa Heads, at $1.3m.
The local buyers were delighted with their purchase of the 3-bedroom home in a quiet cul-de-sac, equally the vendors who had closed the chapter on a long ownership.
CASTAWAYS SETTING IMPRESSES
There were four registered bidders Friday morning for the auction of the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 8 Moonbeam Cres, Castaways Beach.
Chrissie Baker at Laguna Real Estate said interest was basically all locals with the eventual buyers from the central Sunshine Coast.
“They visited at an open home on Wednesday,’’ Chrissie said, “and afterwards they walked the 400m or so to beach.
“They came back and said ’sold.’
“They inspected again prior to start time of the auction at 11am.’’
Bidding got to $1.350m with auctioneer Justin Voss and sold under the hammer at $1.450m.
“It was an excellent result,’’ Chrissie said. “The vendor is thrilled to bits and so are the buyers.
“They absolutely adore the location.’’
TALE OF TWO AUCTIONS
Roark Walsh at Tom Offermann Real Estate needed to change his auction program for this Saturday after the sale in four days of 30 Wyuna Dve, Noosaville.
The coastal-style three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool backs onto a park in this coveted enclave.
There was strong interest straight off the bat, Roark said.
The buyer was downsizing from the hinterland, attracted by the feel of acreage in town and close to the river.
This Saturday Roark is taking the four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 15 Woodlark Rise, Sunrise Beach, to auction at 1pm.
On the ridge, it enjoys sunrises as well as sunsets.
“It’s a quality renovation by the owner/designer,’’ Roark said. “It takes advantage of the huge hinterland and ocean views.’’
The main living and bedroom are upstairs, with another three bedrooms, two bathrooms and pool downstairs.
A feature is the two-storey studio/work station, along with an extra kitchenette and laundry, second main bedroom and ensuite.
A complete bathroom is in studio.
SUNNY OUTCOME
It was a typical winter’s day at Lake Macdonald – sunny with a big turn-out for the 2pm Wednesday auction of the three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 1.01ha at 30 McPauls Rd.
“Everyone was outside, standing under a shady tree,’’ Hinternoosa’s Jeanette Catalano said.
“There were seven registered bidders, two of them by telephone.
“Bidding started at $605,000, and then 25 bids later sold under the hammer for $830,000.
“It went to one of the phone bidders, stuck in rural Victoria because the Queensland border is closed.’’
LONG WATER VIEWS
“We’ve had good inquiry,’’ Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate confided.
“There were 21 groups at the first open home, another two on the Monday and second viewings.’’
There has also been huge interest on the internet as well as email inquiries.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car waterfront house with pool and jetty at 59 Shorehaven Dv, Noosa Waters, goes to auction Sunday, August 15, at 10am.
Early interest has been local and Melbourne but also Facetime inspections with Sydney clients.
“They like the north-east aspect of the property,’’ Luke said. “It has long view each way along the canals.’’
The two-level house has three bedrooms on the ground floor with the main bathroom having a separate vanity.
Vaulted ceilings inside the pivot entry door open to a twisting grand staircase.
You walk in and look through the front doors to the water.
There is even gated side access from the street to a caravan pad.
“People ask where else could they go … there’s nothing better,’’ Luke said.
COMMUNITY APPEAL
The community feel of the Elysium estate is coming into its own as families and young professionals as well as downsizers discover the benefits.
Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate said interest has been wide in the four-bedroom, two-bathroom two-car house at 23 Honey Myrtle Rd, Noosa Heads, that goes to auction Saturday at 2pm.
The plantation-style home has a contemporary, neutral-toned palette, design functionality, and saturated with bright natural light.
“It’s very appealing,’’ Peter said. “Interest is coming from locals looking to downsize, and interstate people visiting Noosa.
“It’ s family home on one level with easy access to Noosa’s cycle ways and the Elysium community, pool, gym and tennis courts.
“They are appreciating the feel of the community, knowing your neighbour.
“As property becomes more expensive you will have those who bought, and the newcomers. This community already has that.
“They appreciate the value, the good mix of families, retirees and young professionals.’’
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Nathan Howie at Noosa Estate Agents is getting early local interest as well as interstate for the four-bedroom, two-car house on 5041sq m at 10B Amaroo Pl, Cooroibah.
Going to auction Friday, August 13, at 12pm, it offers an entry-level country property within arm’s length of Tewantin and Noosa’s beaches.
It has wide appeal – from young families to downsizers, Nathan said.
“There’s nothing to do, with the interior completely renovated. It has a new pool, a great shed, and the property is fully fenced.’’
Entry to the property is by an electric double front gate. There’s a double carport and a 17.5m by 8.8m Colorbond shed with power and a mezzanine.
A 6kW solar system is installed along with rainwater storage, a bore and a dam at the rear of the property.
