Huge interest is coming from all over Australia and overseas for a five-bedroom, four-bathroom waterfront house on Noosa Sound.

Mal Cox of Tom Offermann Real Estate said anything on Noosa Sound was creating a lot of inquiry, at the same time with stock so limited.

Interest in the two-level home with jetty at 33 Mossman Ct has been coming from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane but also the UK and Hong Kong, Mal said.

These include ex-pats looking for a good investment to return to.

“What a lot do not understand is the desire for so many to live on Noosa Sound waterfront.

“The demand is huge and the numbers limited.

“There are only three properties that I know of on the market.

“The location is obviously superb and the house so attractive and appealing. It’s got everything.’’

The property is scheduled to go to auction Saturday, August 28, at 11am.

Finishes in the 587sq m residence include travertine, lava stone, cedar, American oak and tallow wood.

The centrepiece is the immense open-plan yet designated living, dining, and kitchen zones, with floor-to-ceiling disappearing doors creating a seamless transition to outdoors.

A T-shaped jetty is in between the boat ramp and a timber deck, with a sand beach on the 38-metre riverfront.

In the west wing is a bedroom with built-in robe, media room with custom-built bookcases, bathroom with double shower and free-standing egg-shaped tub, also a laundry room.

The retreat with brushbox flooring, currently used as an art studio, has a bar/kitchenette; it opens to a northern balcony with those wide water views.

There are two more bedrooms – both with built-in robes, one with a balcony looking over the water.

The kitchen features stone bench tops, oak trimmed; all Gaggenau appliances including three-door refrigerator, walk-in pantry and servery with slide-away bi-folds.

LOCKDOWN CAUSES RESCHEDULING

Due to the level of interest and the Covid-19 lockdowns Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate has re-scheduled the auction of 11 Goodchap St, Tewantin, to Saturday, August 21, at 12pm.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 1002sq m is situated high up with its northern aspect in a leafy cul-de-sac.

SUNRISE NAME SAYS IT ALL

Caroline Johnston of Wythes Real Estate is receiving lots of calls from far and wide for the four-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 1.01 ha at 227-229 Sunrise Rd, Doonan.

The property, that goes to auction Saturday, August 14, at 1pm, enjoys captivating views from the elevated site.

It has been in the same family for 35 years and the decision to sell finalises an emotional journey.

Yet it opens the door for someone else to enjoy it.

Caroline reports all sorts of interest in the property … to live in, to extend, to renovate.

“Locals are definitely in the mix,’’ she said. “They see it as a nice investment for their portfolio.

“Interest is also coming from coastal areas, all looking to move out to where there is more space.’’

The easterly aspect captures sweeping views from Noosa Headland and the northern beaches, to Lake Weyba and the Blackall Ranges.

The house sits on about 1.5 acres of level land on the plateau in which to build up and capitalise on the views.

“It’s an address widely regarded as one of the best, this property presents a unique opportunity to secure your slice of paradise positioned high on Sunrise Rd,’’ Caroline said.

“With solid, concrete block, single-level construction and tiled roof, this home offers sensational potential.’’

Once known as Glen Eagle Heights in the 1970’s, it is a home with history and character, with the workshop and stables offering additional storage.

An established, well-kept orchard provides year-round fruit.

OLD TEWANTIN IMPRESSES

The auction campaign for the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 52 Werin St, Tewantin, kicked off with a bang.

Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate had 26 groups through the first open home.

“People were queuing up right along the street to get in … I hadn’t seen anything like it.’’

The house, on 506sq m, is scheduled for auction at 2pm on Saturday, August 21.

“There has been a huge response and interest from the market,’’ Lauren said. “They are a spilt 50/50 between local and Melbourne.

“Pre registrations have already received and we can’t wait to see what unfolds.

“The market continue to comment on the uniqueness and immaculately kept state of the home.’’

With an understated facade from the street, the house opens to an extraordinary double-height, timber-lined ceiling of the open plan living/dining space, with beautiful brushbox flooring. Adding to the clever design of the very heart of this home, are banks of sliding glass doors, designed to spill out to the northerly aspect with a massive sundeck on one side, and a terrace on the other.

In-between is a gleaming L-shaped pool with a seat, also decking to accommodate those necessary sun lounges.

The hub of the house is the long galley-style kitchen with stone bench tops including the island bench/breakfast bar, plus pantry and high-end appliances.

There’s a study/office nook, also a powder room nearby, the laundry has plentiful storage, and there’s direct access into the house from the garage.

CHARITY TO BENEFIT FROM AUCTION

A Sunshine Coast home is set to sell at the weekend with all the proceeds going to charity.

It is a home with a heart-warming story as it goes to auction for the first time in 27 years to raise money for The Queensland Lung Transplant Support Group.

Set on a 5156sq m, 2 Clarinda Rd, Ninderry is a neat and tidy three-bedroom, one-bathroom brick home that is well-positioned on the elevated block with Mt Ninderry as the backdrop.

The previous owner, Catherine Davies, was a 14-year heart-lung transplant survivor.

After her passing, she left her home and all the proceeds of its sale to The Queensland Lung Transplant Support Group to provide accommodation for careers and families of the transplant patients close to the Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane.

The home has stood unloved for a couple of years until recently when The Queensland Lung Transplant Support Group could take the property over from the Public Trustee.

One of the members from the group regularly drove down from Toowoomba and coordinated the clean-up effort required to take the home to market.

The property will go to auction on Sunday, August 15, at 12pm.

“It is a fantastic cause, and we are incredibly humbled to be a part of it,” said Kate Cox of Reed & Co, who is leading the marketing campaign for the property.

“It is such an incredibly generous thing for Catherine to do, and considering the circumstances, we decided to help sell the house at no charge and not take any of the normal commission on the sale of this property.”

Upon deciding to help sell the property, Kate started seeking support and that resulted in many Sunshine Coast businesses showing their support by donating their services to help with the sale.

WIDE APPEAL

Interest is coming from across Australia and overseas for the auction on Saturday, August 14, of a vacant 764sq m block at 17 Dolphin Bay Dve, Sunshine Beach.

The auction will be held at the offices of Sunshine Beach Real Estate in Duke St at 11am.

Marketing agent Rob Spencer said interest was opening up even under these trying times of Covid lockdowns.

Inquiry has been local as well as from Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth.

Overseas interest has come from Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong.

“It’s a great size block in a tranquil location,’’ Rob said.

“With a gentle slope, you have a boardwalk to the beach as well as the proximity to Noosa National Park.

“It is shaping up as a very competitive auction.’’

In the unit category, Kathy Wise at Sunshine Beach Real Estate has strong interest in an expansive two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment with views at 1/24 Ventura St, Sunrise Beach.

Ventura St is a popular location and the apartment, in a complex of three, has an expansive east-facing balcony.

The apartment occupies the entire ground floor, offering generous sized light and breeze-filled living.

PRIVACY IN POPULAR POSITION

It’s the perfect opportunity for downsizers and those wanting privacy yet close to shops, restaurants and the Noosa River.

Sam Plummer and Angela Wood of Noosa Estate Agents are taking the three-bedroom, two-plus bathroom duplex apartment with pool at 2/43 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, to auction on Monday, August 16, at 4pm.

With two-car garaging and gated security entry, it provides an interesting mix of contemporary class and subtle sophistication.

Interest has been widespread between local and interstate, Angela said, with a number of virtual inspections due to the Covid lockdowns across the states.

Set over two levels, the ground floor features open plan kitchen and living opening out to the alfresco entertaining area overlooking the in-ground plunge pool.

There is also a separate guest powder room, under-stair storage room, high ceilings, air-conditioning and internal access to the double garage through the laundry.

The upper-level features include, a TV sitting area/library, two guest bedrooms and beautifully appointed bathroom.

The spacious main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe opens out to a private balcony.
