The inquiry level on a Sunshine Beach development site that is being offered for the first time in 34 years has been insane.
Nick Dowling of Colliers Sunshine Coast is taking the fully-leased 486sq m site to auction on Friday, March 4, in conjunction with colleagues Jesse Howitt and Johnny Gooderham.
The auction is to be held in-rooms at Sunshine Beach Surf Club at midday.
On two titles zoned Tourist Accommodation, the property is seen as an irreplaceable redevelopment opportunity.
“The property is exceptional,’’ Nick Dowling said.
“We will have to wait until the day to see where the market takes us.
“There have been some big names looking at it.
“Certainly a lot of Sydney and Melbourne parties with properties in the area, but there are some new to the market as well.
“It is what it is, and what can be done … you can go up to 12m over three levels.
“There are two levels of short-stay accommodation in the tourist zone.’’
There is dual street frontage with rear access from Douglas Lane.
The property has been held for over 34 years by the current owners and one of only five freehold properties in the retail village of Sunshine Beach.
It offers the opportunity to redevelop or refurbish the existing two-storey building into a modern, mixed-use development that will capture ocean views.
The site was originally owned by Tom and Lucy Flood.
Brian Watson, who started as a real estate agent in 1973 and went out on his own five years later, bought the property in 1988.
The site is fully leased to four tenants including well-known local businesses Sunshine Beach Real Estate and Fratellini.
The retail village of Sunshine Beach only comprises five freehold lots and a handful of strata title shops.
“Everything you can imagine is here,’’ Nick Dowling said.
“If you live in this area, the thing is to come here and have a coffee, something to eat and a drink at the surf club.’’
Perhaps Brian Watson sums it up perfectly.
“I remember doing an article many years ago about it being the most desirable area on the Sunshine Coast.’’
That description remains as pertinent today as it did then.
SPECTACULAR RIVERSIDE LIFESTYLE
As you can imagine, Anita Nichols has been run off her feet with interest in the two-bedroom, two-bathroom riverfront apartment at 3/20 Blakesley St, Tewantin, that goes to auction Saturday, February 26, at 1pm.
With seven apartments in the picturesque complex, it offers a rare opportunity to take advantage of the peaceful setting with northerly aspect where lawns roll down to the riverfront.
The single-level, ground-floor apartment is particularly appealing to local buyers looking to downsize and take advantage of the location, right on the doorstep of Tewantin’s shopping centre.
However, there are southern buyers as well, mainly looking at it as an an investment.
The Boat House complex has a pool, gazebo and pontoon jetty.
The apartment is air-conditioned and the main bedroom opens to a private courtyard. There is a powder room, lock-up garage and storage.
Meanwhile Anita has reported the sale prior to auction of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom fully-furnished apartment 15/239-245 Gympie Tce, Noosaville.
The property sold under auction conditions to local investors intending to live there and renovate in the immediate future.
ENJOY BEACH LIFESTYLE AT SUNRISE
It is a very exciting beach-style property and creating interest ahead of auction this Saturday, February 26.
Ferdinand Braeutigam at Oceanside Property said there was plenty of appeal in the four-bedroom house with two-plus bathrooms, two-car garage house and pool at 74 Orient Dve, Sunrise Beach, that goes to the market at midday.
“There have been a lot of inquiries from Sydney and Melbourne,’’ Ferdinand said, “as well as locals coming to the open house inspections.
“It’s going to be interesting.’’
The property has a north-facing pool and beautiful decorative trees that keep the house and pool private from the street.
The appeal includes the timber flooring, the high ceilings and most importantly the views … particularly from the main bedroom.
Another factor is the location giving sunrises over the ocean and sunsets over the national park.
The pool-side bar is also attracting interest.
Locals are looking to take advantage of the beachside location and lifestyle, Ferdinand said.
The large kitchen comes with a central island bench, wide drawers and spacious cupboards.
The ceilings are up to 3.85m high with integrated clerestories windows for natural light and gentle air circulation.
The spotted gum timber floors flow through the entire upper level.
The ground floor contains three additional bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet, and a laundry room.
Two of the bedrooms and the laundry/kitchen can be separated from the rest of the residence, allowing for self-contained living, ideal for an Airbnb.

Inquiry is coming from everywhere for the Commodore penthouse apartment, according to Kate Cox of Reed & Co.

“They may have an apartment and want a generational property … they want to be there.
“Victorian interest is stronger than Sydney, and there is some from Brisbane.
