Indescribable mood of barefoot luxury across from Little Cove Beach

When barefoot luxury is one-minute from Little Cove Beach,with its sparkling shallows and world’s best surf breaks, seaside glamour with a visionary renovation by Frank Macchia Design, awaits sophisticates who enjoy drinks by the pool and on the terraces, multi-million-dollar views, andsublime sunsets over Laguna Bay.

Step inside. Radiating elementsof Scandinavian spirit and functionality, a new level of spare eleganceand a monochromatic aesthetic, albeit complements the luminous quality of the ocean and the nearby verdant national park.

The open-spaced dining and living area with cathedral height ceiling and pale stone-hued Italian porcelain tiles, is designed to maximise light at every turn. Luxury modular furniture in natural hues, light timber and glass-topped table with upholstered chairs in macchiato-toned fabricare matched by a statement art piece.

Thanks to banks of ‘disappearing’ glass sliders, indoors coalesces to out on the wide east-side entertaining terrace, with white sensor awning, integrated outdoor kitchen with barbeque and drinks fridge. With no neighbours, privacy prevails with a jasmine-espaliered wall, and above it features nature’s ‘curtain’, which is in fact a backdrop of the rainforest. No doubt koala spotting and enjoying bird-song choruses will become favourite pastimes.

Similarly on the smaller terrace which also attracts salty breezes and has filtered ocean views.

The galley-style designer kitchen has glacier white Corian benchtops and splashback, the latest Fisher & Paykel appliances, also a hideaway pantry and laundry.

The piece de resistance is between the two terraces, with the prime corner position and a stunning northerly panorama. Picture yourself floating in the glistening pool, lolling on a sun lounge under the umbrella planning an alfresco lunch, or dreaming about a day at the beach. The latter is easier than you think given there’s a gate nearby and it’s just 50 footsteps to sand between-the-toes.

When it comes to bliss time the north-facing king master suite opens to a covered balcony. It has sparkling views of Little Cove Beach, Laguna Bay and beyond to the Coloured Sands. Custom cabinetry takes care of wardrobe space also there’s a dedicated space to stay ‘connected’. A very chic ensuite has double, Corian-topped vanities with mirror-fronted cabinets, plus walk-in, drencher shower.

The twin bedroom has louvres and picture windows with a dappled rainforest outlook. Adjoining is a beautifully appointed bathroom very similar to the ensuite.

“This apartment captures the stillness, serenity and absolute privacy of being in a boutique complex with only one neighbour,” enthuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Eric Seetoo. “The location captures the magical essence of Little Cove, plus its innumerable natural assets such as the 477-hectare Noosa National Park, with its walking trails and world recognised surfing reserve. Also in walking distance is Hastings Street, with its sophisticated array of boutiques, art galleries, nationally known restaurants, and beachside cafes fronting Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay.”
