The 2021 auction year is closing in strong fashion.
A four-bedroom, two-bathroom house plus two-bedroom guest cottage on 130.ha at 209 Booloumba Creek Rd, Cambroon, has sold at auction for $3m.
Vicki Pain, Nigel Statham and Ian Newson of Ray White Rural Eumundi/Dayboro took the hinterland property to the market in an on-line auction on Friday, December 17.
Booloumba Downs enjoyed frontage to the clear-flowing waters of Booloumba Creek. The land covers 4ha of prime creek flat and sweeps up though established lush paddocks to elevated mountain ridge lines with pockets of historic rainforest.
Over the years, the property has been maintained with an extensive weed management program and recently fertilised with natural organic worm based fertiliser.
While currently understocked, it can carry about 40 head of cows and calves.
Vicki Pain said there were 140 inquiries, 46 inspections and 12 registered bidders from New South Wales as well as Western Queensland and locally.
The successful bidder was fro Western Queensland, wanting to downsize but still run a few head of cattle.
The Ray White Rural Dayboro/Eumundi team has now listed a French chateau-inspired five-bedroom, four-bathroom, seven-car house with pool on 4.0ha at 200 Ocean View Rd, Ocean View, near Mt Mee. It includes two separate cottages with self-contained apartments.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
Roger Omdahl of Laguna Real Estate is looking to continue the strong auction run of 2021 into the new year.
With 100 percent success from last year, he is seeing good interest in two properties he is taking to auction in January.
A two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment at 5/2 Sidoni St, Tewantin, is attracting strong inquiry ahead of the midday auction on Saturday, January 22.
It’s a similar story with the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 11 Milpera Retreat, Noosa Heads, that is scheduled to go under the hammer at 10am on January 15.
“Both are looking very positive for a great result,’’ Roger said.
“The Sidoni St property is an immaculate, light-filled apartment with stunning Lake Doonella views from the balcony.
“On one level, it has had an extremely tasteful renovation all the way through less than two years ago.
“The first two open houses were each heavily attended and six parties have registered their interest already.
“It has been a decent spread of inquiry, from Victoria, New South Wales, local and Central Queensland.
“Everyone says the same two things … the outlook over the lake and proximity to village.
“The second thing is the exceptional presentation and renovation.’’
The modern kitchen includes stone benchtop, quality appointments and soft-close cabinetry.
The main bedroom and large ensuite are private while the guest bedroom has access to a private balcony and is adjacent to the main bathroom.
The apartment is in a group of seven with swimming pool, large wrap-around timber decking and updated landscaping.
The Milpera Retreat property features a large floorplan, and enjoys extremely good presentation, Roger said.
The first three open houses have all been well attended, with interested parties including locals, Brisbane and New South Wales.
As well as those looking at it as a holiday home there are others seeking to renovate the property.
The elevation of Milpera Retreat to catch the sea breezes, and proximity to Noosa Junction as well as Hastings St have been prime attractions.
With 100 percent auction clearance this year and prior offers on just about every one, Roger is bullish about 2022.
“It’s a strong market and timeframes are short,’’ he said. “This makes it difficult for buyers … they need to be prepared.
“These are two good auctions to start the year off.’’
TWISTS AND TURNS
Last year was crazy, with so many twists and turns.
Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate is looking at a year of re-establishing himself and enjoying what’s around us.
“I’m so grateful for where we live, what we’ve done in the past 12 months.
“Noosa is a recognised brand and we are now building on that.
“There is a new demographic discovering Noosa – professionals from capital cities who are moving to regional areas within a two-hour commute.
“People are appreciating what we have here – the local farmer markets are going nuts, people are exercising , walking, hiking.
“There is all the sand on the beach and there’s nothing better than a swim at Little Cove.
“And it has been good to enjoy Noosa Main beach.’’

Select Noosa’s Greg Smith reports he is still getting interstate as well as local interest on properties, despite the uncertainty of Covid restrictions.
“Interstaters are finding prices commensurate to where they are selling.
“Buyers need to open their eyes and be receptive to what is coming in 2022.’’
