Hot on the heels of the $30million sale at auction of two front-row Noosa properties comes another success, this time at Noosaville.
While the house at 3 Allambi Rise, Noosa Heads, that sold for $16.9m, had dramatic Laguna Bay views, and the five-bedroom house at 38 Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach, that sold at $13.1m, had 50m of beach frontage, this week it was the Noosa River that took centre stage.
Boasting a privileged address in the front-row riverside and having a terrace with a pool in the foreground, spilling out from the living spaces, proved an irresistible magnet for potential buyers from interstate and locally.
In fact, there were more than 70 groups through during the four-week campaign for the three-bedroom residence 1 at Sonoma, 161-163 Gympie Tce, listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Rebekah Offermann and Michael McComas.
There were six registered bidders with their eye on the prize and after much competitive bidding, it was sold under the hammer for $3.4m to a jubilant local couple, who look forward to the art of living like nowhere else.
It was champagne occasion with the neighbours, also a record price for the secure, gated boutique complex of 14 stand-alone residences.
TIGHTLY-HELD POSITION
Another Noosa Heads property with outstanding Main Beach and Laguna Bay views goes to auction Saturday, 5 October, at 2pm.
Rebekah Offermann and Michael McComas are again the marketing agents.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-car penthouse apartment 9/81 Hastings St has been attracting a lot of attention, Rebekah said.
“Hastings Park is special. There has not been an apartment available in there with those views for quite a long time.
“To have a four-bedroom apartment right on Hastings St, in such a tightly-held market … it’s very difficult to find people willing to give up that position.’’
Interest has been a mix of interstate and those who enjoy staying in Hastings St.
Renovations to the apartment by Huntress and Hound were completed a few weeks ago. It is being offered fully furnished and with art work.
Hastings Park enjoys views of Laguna Bay, stretching to the Noosa North Shore, Coloured Sands and beyond.
Full-height walls of glass stretch across the width of the apartment to the east-side terrace where a black stone-topped extension of the kitchen provides an indoor/alfresco casual dining space.
There are four carpeted bedrooms, with the king bedroom suite on the top level with terrace. There’s a walk-in robe and in the smart ensuite, the shower comes with the beach view.
QUINTESSENTIAL QUEENSLANDER
This Friday, 4 October, Rebekah Offermann and Michael McComas, are taking a quintessential Queenslander with pool in Noosa Heads to auction.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-car house, pool, at 22 Warana St, is set to go to the market at 12pm.
“It has been really well received,’’ Rebekah said. “A complete renovation has been recently finished.
“The pool has been a big addition.
“The house comes with good elevation and sits really well in the peaceful neighbourhood.
“This is something you cannot appreciate that until you get into the house.
“At open houses the eyes of those inspecting are as wide as the view.
“There is a wide, wrapping verandah, multiple living and dining areas.’’
The house commands an enviable vantage point, with views of the waterways around Hideaway Island, Tinbeerwah, Cooroy to Pomona and beyond.
The interior is highlighted by natural stone including marble, as well as blackbutt and ash timbers, with white plantation shutters and VJ features.
Calacatta marble-topped cabinetry highlights the U-shaped kitchen with a six-metre-long, semi-island preparation bench or breakfast bar, as well as the very latest high-end Fisher & Paykel appliances.
There are four bedrooms. On the first level the premier suite retreat opens to north terrace, while there is a built-in robe and a walk-in robe.
The ensuite comes with terrazzo tiles, stone and double white basin topped cabinetry, and pale grey subway tiled walls are stunning.
A second bedroom has a built-in robe and there’s a powder room next door.
On the ground level, one bedroom has a skylight, plantation shutters and a built-in robe; and the fourth bedroom, with terrazzo flooring, is close to the pool and sun deck.
The garage, with plenty of storage plus an air-conditioned store room, has an adjoining carport and additional parking for a car or maybe a boat.
BEAUTY BY THE LAKE
Rebecca Osenton at Ray White has a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car house at 43 Laguna St, Boreen Point, that goes to auction Saturday, 5 October, at 11am.
Set on a leafy, level 506sq m the air-conditioned house is immaculately presented.
Constructed in 2018, it features bamboo timber flooring and expansive living areas. The fully-enclosed front veranda, with its shade screens and north-easterly aspect, is designed to catch the breezes from the lake
Both bedrooms come with built-in robes, while there are stone benchtops in kitchen and bathroom.
The is a fully-lockable one-car garage with remote garage door, double-gated side access to the rear yard, garden shed, shade house and vegetable gardens.
SUNNY ASPECT AT SUNRISE
Peter TeWhata at Tom Offermann Real Estate has a beautiful apartment at Sunrise Beach he is taking to auction on Friday, 11 October – one that is attracting a good spread of enquiry.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 5/5 Selene St goes to the market at 12pm on the day.
Interest has been coming from Sydney, Brisbane and locally, including from Sunshine and Sunrise Beach.
“There are not many three-bedroom apartments in the area with north-easterly aspect and on the end of a building,’’ Peter said.
“Renovated a few years back, it is in a complex of 10 so it has reasonable body corporate fees.
“You can hear the ocean when you pull the stacker windows back, and feel the sea breeze as well.
“It is light-filled all day long. Three-bedroom apartments are in demand and this is solid construction.’’
The open-plan living and dining space comes with oak timber flooring and VJ-panelled wall. Full-height doors open to the north-east facing terrace. The L-shaped kitchen comes with stone-topped cabinetry, including island breakfast bar and pantry.
There are three carpeted bedrooms. At the front, the premier bedroom suite suite has access to the undercover terrace, also built-in robes and an all-white ensuite with stone-topped single basin cabinetry.
In the west wing on the upper level two bedrooms have built-in robes, and doors open to a terrace.
There is a rear communal garden and play area, plus the residents/visitors-only pool.
The share bathroom on the same level has a ’hideaway’ laundry.
SOMETHING SPECIAL
It’s one of Noosa’s special hidden locations. That’s the way locals refer to the quiet, 600-metre strip of the Noosa riverside that is Hilton Esplanade.
Properties along here can enjoy spectacular river views that will never to be built out, thanks to the foreshore reserve.
Little wonder that a block of three original two-bedroom, one-bathroom riverside units at 7 Hilton Esp, is attracting attention ahead of its auction at 10am Saturday, 5 October.
Melanie Butcher and Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate are marketing the property.
“It has been held by the same family for 45 years, who have enjoyed many years of Noosa River activities,’’ Melanie said.
“There is the perfect northerly aspect that offers stunning river views.’’
Mandalay comprises three original units that are approved as short stay holiday let, occupy or permanent rental.
“We have received a fabulous response from local buyers here in Noosa and from Brisbane, who recognise Hilton Esplanade as one of Noosa’s best kept secret locations,’’ Melanie said.
“Interstate buyers are also very active with their enquiries, along with our neighbours in New Zealand.’’
On 666sq m and solidly built, each unit offers two bedrooms, bathroom, open kitchen, dining and lounge, a carport and shared laundry. Each has a large covered north-facing terrace.
