Irresistible Little Cove

Visualise a distinctively modernist residence, with nature’s verdant surrounds of rainforest trees and palms, koalas as neighbours, cycad-dotted gardens, outre-luxe pots of giant bromeliads, muted shades of grey, stone detailing, exalted by the Noosa National Park directly on its doorstep, and only a few minutes walk to Little Cove Beach.

Step inside and sigh. The build, executed with attention to finite detail and quality, and best characterised by a design-forward aesthetic, boasts raked roof lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and light dancing through the void into the expansive living and dining spaces, including the goldfish-filled water feature. It is akin to taking a seat in a beautiful theatre.

There is an easy interior flow, with almost ‘transparent’ indoor-outdoor connections. The ambience is calm, considered, whispers luxury rather that shouts it, and inside out the residence sparkles.

Unabashedly extolling the virtues of life alfresco, and evoking nature’s beauty and birdsong, is a stupendous terrace stretching the width of the residence, with a lush green backdrop, and facing north. It is designed to take advantage of the perfect sub-tropical climate, where summery vibes linger year-round. Sun worshipping and swimming in the dazzling pool with waterfall and air spa are de rigueur, and easy-going days and nights of entertaining are on the menu.

The luxe custom kitchen to suit every cook, every occasion, is commensurate in size and incorporates the latest appliances and features including stone-topped custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry and wine cellar. The adjacent generous-sized laundry doubles as a butler’s pantry/caterers’ space.

Upstairs is blessed with qualities desired by those who’d love a north wing super-sized master suite and balcony, from where you will be transfixed by the tableau of Noosa National Park and inspired foreground of terrace, gardens and pool. The tiled ensuite has double custom-made vanity and dresser, plus double shower.

In the west wing bedroom two, with north-facing undercover balcony, and bedroom three both have build-in robes, timber shutters and share a family bathroom with tub. On the south side, an open office/yoga/nursery space has an undercover balcony.

Downstairs in the east wing, two over-generous bedrooms present an option for a separate guest suite. Currently one with walk-in robe/storeroom is used as an art studio. The second with separate entry, custom-built cabinetry and undercover terrace is an office. Both have timber louvred blinds and share an adjacent family-size bathroom with separate toilet.

“The address is first class, and this residence is a sanctuary for those wishing to escape day-to-day life in the city,” effuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday, 23 October 2021.

“Alluring Little Cove is where the ocean meets the rainforest, otherwise known as the world-famous 477-hectare Noosa National Park, with its walking trails and world recognised surfing reserve. All this, yet minutes’ walk away is Hastings Street with its sophisticated array of boutiques, art galleries and nationally-known beachside restaurants and cafes, laidback Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay.”
