Salty breezes, toes-in-the sand of main beach in minutes

Imagine salty breezes, an osprey’s view of scintillating seascapes northward across Laguna Bay, Coloured Sands and beyond, an idyllic sub-tropical climate and year-round swimming in azure waters. The art of endless holidays, 3-minutes to toes-in-the-surf of Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street with its bevy of restaurants, bars and boutiques.

This is paradise found, an undeniable and achievable reality, especially when the stupendous 3-level classy, over-generous villa-style residence has three terraces plus one courtyard and is seemingly perched unobtrusively in the front row amongst lush rainforest.

Come inside. Admire the unstinting attention to detail in the substantial living and dining spaces with high ceilings, polished sandstone flooring, bespoke Tasmanian oak feature wall and designer treads, sophisticated furnishings, and statement art pieces. Natural light, breezes and cross ventilation are via banks of louvres and fold-away doors which disappear between indoors and out to sublime tranquility on the northward entertaining terrace. It offers the first tease of those mesmerising ocean views, and the wide overhang is augmented by a retractable awning.

On the easterly side a rock-walled courtyard with bromeliads and heliconias has all the hallmarks for enjoying morning coffee, a barbecue lunch or more,

The galley-style kitchen with stone-topped bench and long semi-island/breakfast bar, as well as all the latest whiz-bang Miele appliances including a gas hob, will suit everyone especially those passionate about culinary creativity.

Upstairs open the double doors and expect an awe-inspiring moment. The grand master suite with lounge area, spills out to the northward terrace plus spell-binding views across Laguna Bay and Noosa North Shore to the Coloured Sands and beyond. Drink in those views also as you soak away in the free-standing oval bathtub. The walk-in robe and bathroom have a walk-in shower, separate toilet and are commensurate in size.

Downstairs is more a retreat perfect for the teens, tweens, and guests. There is a lounge area, shoji-inspired doors, three very large bedrooms with built-in robes, and two open to the northward terrace with filtered views. The family-size bathroom opens out to a courtyard/store space the width of the residence. Ideas for use are numerous.

The private residence defines luxury on every level and its location in the tightly held Bunya Lane cul-de-sac, designed by renowned architect John Mainwaring in a small enclave.

“Close-by is a magnificent pool and sun terrace,” comments Tom Offerman Real Estate agent Eric Seetoo, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 15 January 2022.

“It’s a short stroll to sophisticated Hastings Street, the Woods and Noosa River Spit, Noosa Heads Surf Club and sheltered north-facing Main Beach. Along the boardwalk is First Point, the 477-hectare Noosa National Park and the world-famous Surfing Reserve, all a boon to joggers, walkers, nature lovers, koala spotters, and of course surfers.”
