Beachfront property is hitting new highs as buyers scramble to find prime sites.
A double-sized homesite on the oceanfront at Sunshine Beach was potentially their last chance ever to secure side-by-side beach blocks.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool sits on 1174sq m at 4-6 Arakoon Crescent, Sunshine Beach, attracted serious interest when offered to the market by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eric Seetoo.
Ultimately there was only one with the widest smile – the delighted purchaser who is looking forward to the daily joy of stunning ocean and beach views from the headland of the Noosa National Park, sweeping north-easterly across Sunshine Beach, 180 degrees south to Mooloolaba.
The price will remain confidential for now but when released it will reveal what a great investment it has been for the client, who has owned it for 27 years and is naturally super-pleased with the result.
This month Tom Offermann Real Estate has sold a beachfront house in Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach, also land at 26 Park Crescent.
Last Saturday Nic Hunter and Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate had a great result at the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with pool at 1/20 Belmore Terrace, Sunshine Beach.
The allure of the two-level duplex abode with Coral Sea views to sigh for, was obvious to Noosaville residents who wanted to have the everyday feeling of toes-in-the sand in two-minutes.
Three registered bidders were intent on securing the property, and the hammer finally fell at $2.77m.
Nic Hunter had another triumph at 21 Headland Dve, Noosaville, the vendors very happy for their next move to a home nearby, but the happiest were buyers who had recently moved to the area from interstate and were searching for a property in their dream location. It was sold for $1.75m
The Richard Locke and Tim McSweeney-listed 28 The Lakes Coolum in a gated enclave and on the lakefront at 87 Toolga St, Mount Coolum, attracted strong interested during the campaign, however it was passed in at $3m with several potential buyers expressing strong interest post auction.
Peter TeWhata’s listing of 36 Noosa Hill Resort, 26 Noosa Dve, Noosa Heads had to be postponed with a date expected soon and potential buyers waiting in the wings.
SIGNIFICANT SITE SELLS
It was always going to be a good result as it was such a special property.
Yet three adjoining properties, each with four apartments, at 66 Peregian Esp, Peregian Beach, have sold prior to auction in a record-breaking result for the area.
The rare trifecta on Peregian Beach Esp, directly opposite the beach, was marketed as a once-in-a-generation opportunity on the eastern beaches of the Noosa Shire, and an exciting development opportunity with three adjoining lots, three street frontages and land totalling 2606sq m.
The property was to go to auction today, Friday, but the strong interest saw the contract signed last Thursday.
Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate negotiated the sale.
It had been in the Davies family for 37 years. Brothers Russell and Martin, with his wife Carol, were the sellers.
Former shearers, their father owned the property originally.
“They were such lovely vendors,’’ Tracy said. “A beautiful family.
“Martin lives locally and has managed it the whole time.
“There was a lot of interest in the property – from interstate as well as Brisbane and locally.
“The backers are from Melbourne, with local associations.
“It is remaining local and they will leave it as-is for the time being.
“The tenants have another year and that was part of the agreement.’’
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME
It’s like a step back in time … a time when beach towels and bathers were rinsed in a shared laundry tub and hung on the clothes line to dry in the sea breeze from Laguna Bay.
A two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment at Tenalga at 2/21 Allambi Rise, Noosa Heads, goes to auction today, Friday, at 4pm.
Built in the 1960s, Tenalga is a peaceful complex of six apartments resting on a quiet slip road, just above Little Cove beach and the boardwalk to Noosa’s National Park.
Main Beach and Hastings Street are a few minutes stroll away.
The fully-renovated apartment 2 appears to “float’’ at the rear of the complex, its elevated position giving views to Laguna Bay and Noosa North Shore.
Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate describes it as a cute apartment with a lot of history.
It is still within the same family that has owned it from late ’60s.
When Tenalga was built there were no numbers on the doors, Luke said, just names such as Sunset, Tanglewood, and Sparkling Sea.
“There is interest,’’ he said. “We have indications of people wanting to attend … particularly from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
“They have been watching the market, and the building … waiting for something to come up.
“It’s got a following. And there are just six in the block.’’
The prime aspect of this apartment are the expansive views through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
The kitchen features a stone-topped island bar and induction cooktop, built-in dishwasher and microwave. To the left, there’s a study area, wine nook and internal washing.
The living area is open-plan and leads out onto the spacious balcony. As well as he main bathroom there is a wet room off the main bedroom’s walk-in robe.
PERFECT ASPECT
It has arguably the best aspect of Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay … you can see along Hastings St, to the river and the hinterland.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom Apartment 15 at No.1 in Hastings St, Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, is set for auction Saturday, March 26, at 11am.
“It’s got everything,’’ Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Luke Chen said.
“It has got a big following in Melbourne.
“There is something like 80 percent ownership in No.1 in Hastings from Victoria’s capital city.
“The majority of the interest is from there.’’
The open-plan living and dining spaces open seamlessly to the undercover terrace that stretches the width of the apartment.
The U-shaped kitchen has 2-pac cabinetry, stone bench tops, the latest appliances and everything needed for the high-end holiday market.
The king-size main bedroom suite with terrace access, has a wall mounted television, a walk-in robe with long double vanity basins and ensuite bathroom. Two twin bedrooms have direct access to a family-style bathroom with a bathtub.
WIDE APPEAL
There has been interest far and wide in the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool and shed at 157 Sudholz Rd, Verrierdale.
The 10.6ha property goes to auction Saturday, March 26, at 5pm with Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa.
Included in the sale is the owner’s Kubota 4WD tractor and a Yamaha quad bike.
Inquiry has come from Northern New South Wales, to Western Queensland,’’ Jeanette said.
“Even Sunshine Coast locals have been attracted to the lifestyle opportunities and size of this acreage.
“Buyers with horses, those looking for lifestyle, have all been interested. It’s all shaping up to be a great auction.’’
With wide views, beautiful native bush, room for a second dwelling, and the opportunity for eco cabins, it is within 15 minutes of Noosa, Peregian Beach, and Eumundi.
The single-level home was fully renovated only a few years ago. It features blackbutt timber floors, air-conditioning, stylish bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling tiles, French doors, and a separate lounge room.
The kitchen has grey Caesar stone benches and breakfast bar, double oven, built-in microwave and a walk-through pantry.
The 6m by 9m merbau timber covered deck that overlooks the paddocks is a stand-out – with the mountain range views beyond.
There is an all-weather bitumen driveway, 9m by 6m powered shed, solar panels and solar hot water, three fenced paddocks, two stables and tack room, plus a dam.
WESTERN QUEENSLAND BUYERS
A buyer’s agent inspected the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house with pool at 173 Valley Dve, Doonan, at an open home on the Tuesday.
Kess Prior of Hinternoosa said the agent took a video of the striking two-level house and 0.57ha property then sent it to clients at Roma, in Western Queensland.
The clients were looking to downsize and a contract was submitted on the Thursday ahead of last Saturday’s scheduled auction at midday.
Today, Friday, Kess is taking the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house with pool on 0.87ha at 10 Marnie Cres, Doonan, to the market at 1pm.
From all the feed-back in the lead-up to the event, it should be a cracker.
BEACHSIDE OASIS
It’s a beachside oasis … a five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at Marcus Beach that backs onto bushland yet within walking distance of the ocean.
The property, at 4 Chestnut Ct, goes to auction Saturday, March 26, at 4pm with Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate.
“We’re getting good calls on it,’’ Tracy said. “It’s a family-friendly home that has got character.
“There are high ceilings throughout – some raked – and a mix of timber and tiled flooring. The open plan living spaces flow inside and out.
“It’s a lovely parcel of land – 990sq m near the the beach, and with gardens as well as fruit trees.
“It backs onto a nature reserve that provides a private green outlook.
“There is potential for dual occupancy, a studio or to work from home.’’
HASTINGS STREET SALE

HINTERLAND FAVOURITE
