It was nature – specifically a prized sand dune on the highest point in Sunshine Beach – that kept Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata on his toes prior to the auction of 37 McAnally Drive, Sunshine Beach, at the weekend.
The Stephen Kidd-designed residence comes with explosive 180-degree views from Double Island Point and the Noosa National Park in the north, sweeping the Coral Sea and coastline to Mooloolaba and beyond.
Immense interest came from overseas, interstate, Brisbane and locally and it was replicated on auction day with multiple parties registering.
In turn this created spirited bidding and ultimately two parties battling it out before it was declared sold at $5.65m.
The Brisbane couple were joyous having waited several years for the “right” property to come along.
A KEY ADDRESS
Listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter, an exclusive one-off opportunity to purchase an original classic cutie from the ’70s with the jaw-dropping coveted address of 6 Key Court, a leafy cul-de-sac on Noosa Sound, 500 metres to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, attracted a wealth of interest during the marketing campaign and on the day.
It was sold immediately after the auction for $3.05m.
EASTERN BEACHES ATTRACTION
You cannot beat the allure of front-row seats when it comes to properties along Noosa’s eastern beaches.
Tracy Russell at Tom Offermann Real Estate is finding strong interest on the beachside property at 16 Shearwater St, Peregian Beach, she is taking to auction on Saturday, April 22.
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 16 Shearwater St goes to the market at 10am.
Inquiry has been mostly Brisbane and local, Tracy said, wanting position, proximity to the village and holiday feel.
“People are just loving it. Front row, and with a lovely design to take full advantage of the north-east aspect.
“It’s a fabulous house for living, with an open-plan feel as if you are among the treetops.
“Spacious and private from the street as well as the foreshore.
With two-car garaging plus off-street parking, the house has been designed for the climate and the environment.
The work of Bud Brannigan Architects, the house can be opened right up to allow natural light, cross-flow of breezes and the greenery as a backdrop.
“It’s so solid,’’ Tracy said. “Built with suspended concrete slab, lap pool and water tanks, the solar sustainability is awesome.’’
As well as the Brisbane market, Tracy is finding local interest looking at upgrading.
“The high-end of the market has confidence.
“Front row positions only come up every few years.’’
The house is positioned to capture salty breezes, sights of the ocean, and the sound of waves crashing on the foreshore.
Timber slats on the façade provide privacy, while tall palms, a water feature and custom door invite you to the foyer.
Terrazzo floors continue along the hallway, while varying ceiling heights are in the living and dining spaces where there is polished blackbutt flooring.
Picture windows and banks of disappearing sliders, connect to an undercover terrace with a built-in outdoor kitchen.
The hub of the entry level is the galley-style kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry including a semi-island bench/breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry.
Next level living is downstairs. A massive leisure space abuts the pool and an undercover terrace.
There’s also an undercover terrace with an outdoor shower, a bathroom, and a climate-controlled wine cellar.
There are four private bedrooms. In the north wing on the upper level is the main suite with blackbutt timber floor and a spacious shabby-chic tiled floored terrace, with tropical outlook, a walk-in robe and ensuite with a free-standing oval bath.
The second main bedroom style suite also has a terrace, walk-in robe and ensuite.
On the entry level are two bedrooms, one of which is being used as a sitting room and home office, plus a share bathroom.

A diverse range of buyers have been showing interest, Alisa said.

“The land and the position are amazing. This is a property that will always be special.’’
The home is placed on the highest point of rolling green hills. Entry is by the dual staircase with a large veranda.
A stand-out feature is a gazebo-style circular covered outdoor entertainment area.

There is a two-bay shed that opens up the the possibilities of running horses.
LIFESTYLE CHANGE BRINGS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO THE MARKET
Having spent a decade successfully running her own real estate agency, Joanne Marek has decided to take a well-deserved sabbatical.
Dedicating the past 20 years living and working in Noosa and raising her two precious boys who have now grown up and moved to Brisbane, Joanne is packing her bags to live overseas in the French Riviera.
Joanne said it was time to reconnect with her family in the UK, and with Europe holding so many special memories coupled with travel to Europe from her home town in the north of England being only a short hop and a skip, it just made sense.
In the future Joanne will spend her time living between France, Italy and Australia, so one day we might just see her back on the circuit.
Taking this bold and exciting move, Joanne has entrusted Colliers to auction her iconic commercial Marek Realty premise in Mary St, Noosaville.
The success of Marek Realty since it started in 2013 has been due to the locals who have embraced Joanne year after year, due to her sheer dedication to the real estate industry. “It’s been a decade and I am so thankful for the amazing opportunity over that time to help many people relocate their lives for new beginnings,’’ she said.
“I am thrilled to be embarking on this journey and look forward to my next decade of life wherever that may take me.’’
The auction will be held on the premise at 37 Mary Street, Noosaville, at 12pm on Friday, 28 April.
The commercial block of 516sq m has a building area of 211sq m plus 13sq m balcony.
Jesse Howitt and Johnny Gooderham at Colliers Sunshine Coast are marketing the property.
The building has been refurbished in collaboration with interior designer Carol Trethaway as early as 2020.
The property offers owner-occupiers and investors the opportunity to secure an incredibly well-appointed commercial freehold in the heart of Noosaville’s business and high-end residential river precinct.
