The Starlight Suite in Netanya occupies one of the landmark positions in Hastings Street.
It overlooks the pocket of beach at First Point, which at first light is one of the most memorable moments of the day.
Then at midday you look over Main Beach, across Laguna Bay to Noosa North Shore and Double Island Point
It is Simply the Best, which is just one of the successful songs written by a former owner and one of Australia’s most famous songwriters, Michael Chapman.
Frank Milat is taking the four-bedroom, three-bathroom beachfront apartment to auction today, Friday, March 4, at 4pm with Richardson & Wrench Noosa colleague Shane McCauley.
“Mike Chapman renovated this apartment with no expense spared,’’ Frank said. “It is out of this mix of position, space and design expertise that the Starlight Suite has emerged as a very impressive and highly desirable property.
“There is more than 100sq m of private roof terrace with spa and outdoor kitchen.
“It’s a very rare offering – on the beachfront with the main bedroom looking over the sand and by far the biggest roof terrace on the beachfront.
“The auction has been creating a lot of interest … genuine interest.
“It’s the jewel in the crown, a trophy position.’’
Interest has been mainly interstate, and most already own property in Noosa so they understand values, Frank said.
“They want that position.
“The people who live here know what’s happening, what’s happened in recent years.’’
TOP-FLOOR APARTMENT IN DEMAND
A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 433 Sebel at 32 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, has been attracting offers and looks like going to contract ahead of auction day later this month.
Frank Milat of Richardson & Wrench Noosa said the marketing campaign for the top-floor apartment had been strong.
Fully furnished and self-contained with lift access, and views over Noosa River, the 100sq m apartment comes with car park on title.
POSITION, PRIVACY AND PRESENTATION
An architect-designed four-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 44 Ferguson St, Sunshine Beach, is set for auction at 11am on Saturday, March 5.
Kathy Wise and Rob Spencer of Sunshine Beach Real Estate have been getting both local and interstate interest on the property, due mainly to the proximity to the beach and village, the privacy and the presentation.
Anything designed by Tim Ditchfield is going to attract attention, and this is a good-sized house nestled in a quiet area close to everything, Rob said.
“There is a road reserve at the back.
“It is a lot of house and low maintenance. It could be a holiday house or for the whole family.
“The swimming pool is in the north-east with the central courtyard and sunroom.
“The bedrooms are all on the upper level with the main in a separate wing.
“There is fully ducted air-conditioning, and lift access to all levels from the large garage with plenty of storage.’’
The house is distinguished by clean lines, open floor plans, and incorporates extensive use of glass to bring in natural light and emphasise the views.
Rob and Kathy have listed another auction property in Sunshine Beach for later in the month – a five-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 8 Weyba St.
A beach house by the sea, across two levels and surrounded by lush tropical gardens, this duplex-zoned address has a self-contained guest retreat with independent access.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Nathan Howie at Noosa Estate Agents has a string of apartments and houses he is taking to auction over the next few weeks.
They range from a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at Noosaville, to a three-bedroom apartment along Noosa River and a four-bedroom house at Sunrise Beach.
The single-level house with pool on 686sq m at 7 Granite Ct, Noosaville, is set to go to the market at midday on Sunday, March 13.
“It’s a good house,’’ Nathan said, “in a pleasant, elevated position looking back to Noosa Hill.
“It features a stunning kitchen with sleek, all-white cabinetry and quality appliances.’’
The dining area and lounge have sliding doors that open to alfresco areas, that include a sunny deck or poolside courtyard.
There is a separate study, split system air-conditioning, fully-landscaped grounds and fenced yard.
EXCITING OFFERING
Eliza Coppin of Tom Offermann Real Estate is excited with the response to the auction of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom sub-penthouse 33/24 Munna Cres, Noosaville, set for 1pm on Saturday, March 5.
“There has been a lot of inquiry – a combination lot of local and interstate,’’ Eliza said.
“It is coming from people who know the Noosa Pacific complex well, and the position within the complex.
“It’s the centre one, with expansive river, river mouth and ocean views.
“Apartments in a waterfront location, especially north facing, do not become available often.
“This is a spectacular apartment and beautiful renovation. People tell me they are surprised at how big it feels.’’
Brilliantly renovated, the apartment features a galley-style kitchen with creamy-white stone-topped two-pac cabinetry and breakfast bar.
GOOD BIDDING AT BOAT HOUSE
With Justin Voss calling the bidding and Laguna Real Estate’s Anita Nichols working the floor, there was good bidding at the riverfront apartment 3/20 Blakesley St, Tewantin, on Saturday.
Held on site, The Boat House was constructed in 1991 and extensively refurbished recently. It consists of seven apartments.
There were three registered bidders for the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, ground-floor apartment that sold for $1.175m to a local buyer.
Anita now has a fresh listing of a three-bedroom riverfront penthouse in Gympie Tce that offers rooftop terrace … and Fiat Bambino car for around town.
ATTRACTIVE PRICE RANGE
Jesse Stowers at Tom Offermann Real Estate was getting strong inquiry, including offers, on the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 5/293 Weyba Rd, Noosaville.
Scheduled for auction on Saturday, March 12, inquiry has come from all over – local, Victoria and New South Wales.
“It’s in that price range to reach a large audience,’’ Jesse said, “and the location.
“One minute to Noosa River, it is a spacious ground-floor apartment.’’
The apartment has sold prior to Victorian buyers.
PLENTY OF INTEREST
There was plenty of interest in the three-bedroom house on 0.4ha at 11 Pryor Rd, Verrierdale, that went to auction in-rooms at Reed & Co on Friday.
Mark Hodgkinson and Cassandra Young held a successful marketing campaign for the property that featured a partially complete renovation, studio and shed.
There were eight registered bidders, and a $650,000 start.
“It was an interesting auction,’’ Mark said, “in that all eight registered bidders were involved.
“I haven’t seen that for quite some time – all had a bid at one point or other.
“There were three on phone and we supplied a Zoom link to enable everyone to watch.
“Most were local but it was a Brisbane couple who bought it for $892,000. They are planning to relocate.’’
Mark and Cassandra are now working on an auction program for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 6120sq m at 11 Hinterland Close, Tinbeerwah.
They also have a 1400sq m residential block in Eumundi coming up.
LATE STARTERS
Bidders were registering right up to the time of the auction on Saturday for the four-bedroom Queenslander and stables on 2ha at 1024 Browns Creek Rd, Eerwah Vale.
Marketed by Theodora Garwood and David Garwood of Garwoods Estate Agents, the auction was held in-rooms at the agency in Noosaville.
Justin Voss had eight or nine parties to deal with – all local and South east Queensland.
Bidding started at $700,000 and the property sold at $940,000 to a professional couple from Brisbane who are looking to rebuild and take a long-term view.
The underbidders were local horse people.
