Riverpark Estate, nature lover’s dream

Do you aspire to a private estate equivalent to a nature reserve, home to koalas, kangaroos, wedge-tail eagles, brahminy kites and jabirus, being surrounded by national and water conservation parks, having a deep Noosa River frontage with boat ramp, and access to extensive waterways around Lake Cootharaba and Lake Cooroibah, where sailing, fishing, kayaking, and water sports are de rigueur? This is a dream come true.

Riverpark Estate, 15 minutes by boat or 25 minutes by car to Hastings Street, has it all … and so much more.

Imagine designing a one-off showstopper with outbuildings such as a barn, or maybe an eco-resort, on the approximate 2-hectare building envelope of the cleared and elevated volcanic knoll. Primarily north-east facing, it would capture expansive views of the waterways where bird and sea life is prolific, also the conservation parklands, plus it would overlook the massive 4-hectare dam which has been purpose-built with a depth of 16-metres and a melaleuca corduroy base. It is surrounded by native grasses, frequented by native ducks and seabirds, and filled with fish. It has an extension which joins the Noosa River.

Entry to Riverpark Estate is via a private access road. Notice stands of turpentine, bloodwood, ironbark, brushbox and bushland suitable for milling and horse riding, however those with a serious equine penchant, the entrance to the Noosa Trail Network is nearby in McKinnon Drive. It’s also popular for bushwalkers and cyclists.

“Where so close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach can you enjoy sailing, fishing, water sports and horse riding in your own riverfront ’garden’?“ asks Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Robyn Reid, who is taking the property to auction on Friday 3 September 2021. “Exclusive, secluded and naturally beautiful Riverpark Estate offers these pursuits of happiness as well as boundless unique opportunities for sea and tree changers looking for a lifestyle extraordinaire.“
