With the end of school holidays approaching there was a significant scramble from out-of-towners looking for an address on popular eastern beach-side Noosa.
The precinct is also known as a catchment area for schools and sporting facilities.
Meanwhile others had their eye on a prize of a sage investment opportunity within walking distance of other locations close to the water.
Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller reports an almost street party atmosphere for the late afternoon auction of 11 Tropicana Rise, Castaways Beach, when eight registered bidders – including three taking part by phone – were joined by about 60 others who were kept cool by ocean breezes.
After strong competitive bidding, it was sold under the hammer for $3.715m to Brisbane-based buyers who were thrilled to have secured such a prized position so close to Castaways Beach, also a large family home with spectacular 360-degree views from the rooftop terrace.
It is the fourth sale in the sought-after Tropicana Rise in more than six years and the second highest non-beachfront sale price for Castaways Beach.
The Jesse Stowers-listed 11 Dayspring St, Sunrise Beach, attracted seven bidders mainly from interstate and locally on auction day, plus over 40 people excited for a young Brisbane-based family when the hammer went down at $1.675m.
The Tiffany Wilson-listed apartment 6 Park Haven, 4 Park Cres, Sunshine Beach was passed in; however, a result was expected post auction.
DUAL-KEY APARTMENT ATTRACTS INTEREST
There was enormous interest during the marketing campaign for dual key investment apartment 10 Twin Quays, 9 Albert St, Noosaville, listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Michael McComas and Lauren Chen.
Fast and furious bidding commenced at $770,000 and continued until the fall of the hammer at $860,000. Eventual buyers from Victoria are looking forward to enjoying the idyllic sub-tropical climate and the location so close to the Noosa River.
Earlier in the week the Jesse Stowers-listed Villa One Five The Hastings, 30 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, attracted four registered bidders and although there was spirited bidding for the stunning Bark-designed property, it was passed in. It has a price guide of $7m.
The previous week at Peppers Noosa’s Leighton Theatrette at Peppers Noosa, there was strong competitive bidding and some tough negotiation between two registered bidders for the Chris Miller-listed apartment 7303/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads. It was sold under the hammer for $790,000, not far off the record sale price of $820,000 for a one-bedroom apartment in the resort.
The Brisbane-based buyers were very excited to have secured this red-hot investment with a rainforest outlook so close to Noosa Main Beach.
GRAND OLD RIVERFRONT HOME
There’s nothing better than a SOLD sign on a property and there was a great deal of excitement leading up to the one going on 43 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore, last Friday.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom riverfront Queenslander, River House, dates back to circa 1913.
On 1019sq m with jetty, the grand old lady has stood as a landmark since being built of locally-milled hardwood. Having VJ panelling throughout, and substantial carved arches and fretwork all accentuated with other beautiful timber features of flooring while there are rough-sawn weather boards to the exterior, original balustrades, and wide front staircase to the river landing and jetty.
The auction was held at the Laguna Real Estate office in Tewantin, with auctioneer Justin Voss having nine registered bidders.
Marketing agent Warren Evans was kept busy working the room – in this case the street – as bidding reached $2.7m where it was declared on the market.
That brought a last rush of bids before it sold under the hammer for $2.72m.
“A family couple from Brisbane bought the house as a holiday home and will renovate it over time,’’ Warren said. “It was another exciting auction.
“A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“River House is the last of the true river houses with a pioneering past.’’
PRESTIGE POSITION
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom waterfront house with pool at 5 The Promontory, Noosa Waters, sold at auction for $6.4m last Friday.
Marketed by Adrian Reed and Darren Neal of Reed & Co, it attracted local buyers.
A beautiful property with dual jetties, the price achieved showed a solid increase in value in the past year, Darren said.
“The buyers could see the benefits of the presentation and position.
“It is a prestige position, for sure.’’
With good numbers through the four-bedroom three-bathroom house at 13 Janet St, Noosaville, at the weekend, Adrian and Darren are dealing with interest at a price guide of $4.4m.
SUNSHINE PROPERTY SELLS
Kathy Wise and Rob Spencer at Sunshine Beach Real Estate were kept busy on Saturday with the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 1 Ferguson St, Sunshine Beach, selling under the hammer for $2.65m.
On a 543sq m corner block, the value was in the position.
Interest was local as well as South east Queensland and overseas.
“It was in demand due to the location,’’ Rob said, “on the crest of Weyba and Ferguson, with ocean views.’’
Idyllic spot to build a dream home. So close to about everything good about sunshine yet away from the noise
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 31 Ben Lexcen Dve, Sunrise Beach, was passed in on Saturday, with the agents talking with local and interstate interest at offers over $1.5m. M
LOW SUPPLY, HIGH DEMAND
Grant Baker of One Agency Noosa had six registered bidders at 110 Grays Rd, Doonan, on January 22.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 6366sq m saw 22 bids before selling at auction for $1.44m.
The property was all relatively useable and came with great storage as well as accommodation.
“Supply is still low,’’ Grant said, “with 214 properties available in Noosa and 78 in the hinterland.
“Prior to Covid there were 540 in Noosa, and 200-plus in the hinterland.
“Demand is still there. The buyers from Melbourne already have property interest in Noosa.
“They are happy to make the move now.’’
Grant has another auction coming in Elysium at Noosa Heads – a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 6 Black Beech Rd.
It is scheduled for March and will probably have a two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse in Noosaville at that time as well.
SIGNIFICANT NORTH SHORE OFFERING
Last week it was a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at Tewantin that sold prior to auction.
This week Roger Omdahl at Laguna Real Estate is marketing a 60-acre property on Noosa North Shore.
Interest has been strong, Roger said, mainly from South east Queensland but also Victoria and New South Wales looking for a safe place to get away from Covid.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 24.28ha at 20-74 Noosa River Drive, is listed at $2.90m.
It features wide Noosa River views but not direct water access.
Roger said the holiday cottage offers large bedrooms, lofts, family room, great kitchen, dining area and large covered deck. It would be easy to extend if required.
Title of the land extends to the high water mark of the river.
