Noosa continues to shine in the Queensland property market due to its liveability.
People want to live here.
Fluctuations in the market come and go but Noosa remains consistent due to the natural assets, the quality of housing and the appeal of life away from urban clamour.
Recent figures from the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) show a quarterly median house price of $1.42 million, surpassing Brisbane ($1.187m), the Gold Coast ($1.092m) and the Sunshine Coast ($1.049m).
This market shows people want to buy and live here on a medium to long-term basis, or invest in the holiday market.
Today we showcase some of the exceptional properties that are on offer.
PRIME POSITION ON THE SOUND
Instantly recognisable for its Noosa Sound location yet at the same time private due to its position, a five-bedroom, five-bathroom, four-car waterfront house with pool, and jetty, at 29 Cooran Ct, Noosa Heads, defines the precinct’s chic coastal lifestyle.
For sale at $35m with Nic Hunter and Tom Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate, the property offers a classy yet serene sculptured form with a moody-hued timber slatted brise-soleil to provide some shade.
Designed by Paul Clout Designs in 2015, from the cul-de-sac it evokes privacy and mystery yet defines the streetscape of this prestigious address.
A walkway through established gardens and bridge over a lush pond seemingly morphs into a glimmering heated pool, spa with glass halo and feature daybed.
The immense open-plan yet designated living, dining, and kitchen zones, with floor-to-ceiling auto disappearing doors, fan out in a seamless fashion to the outdoors.
Here, a wide giant cycad-fringed terrace continues across the width of the residence, also lush lawn to the revetment wall and jetty.
A few pleasure boat-lengths away is a white-sand beach, boat ramp and purpose-built boat house with store rooms and more, on what is 48m of water frontage.
The centrepiece of the home is undoubtedly high glass-paned spaces, a stunning stone fireplace flue extending two levels, as well as polished timber and travertine flooring.
The living, dining, and kitchen zones open to a substantial outdoor room with integrated Euromaid barbecue facilities and casual counter diner, wood burner pizza oven and hideaway tv screen.
The galley-style kitchen features 4.5m stone-topped cabinetry including island bench, a wide indoor/alfresco counter diner, Fisher & Paykel double fridges, double dish drawers, 900mm oven and gas cooktop, walk-in pantry.
In a masterstroke, five bedrooms with terrace access, walk-in robes and individually styled ensuite bathrooms are super-sized.
Upstairs the king suite retreat has a stylish dressing room, spa bath, double shower and lavish cabinetry.
There’s an adjacent study, also lounge with fireplace and timber atrium ceiling.
An acrylic glass bridge with large round skylight connects the east and west wings, to a north-facing bedroom with coffered ceiling and plantation shutters.
On the ground floor a second king suite with a bathtub and the water views.
Bathrooms all feature individual designs such as cabinetry with recycled timber sleepers, white granite topped and with mosaic tiles.
The fifth bedroom, perhaps study or gym is adjacent.
C-bus security is installed and the inventory is negotiable.
“Living in a residence of this calibre in a privileged location with nothing but sand and water out the front, really is the top prize,” Nic Hunter and Tom Offermann agreed, “especially for boating, kayaking and swimming enthusiasts, and those wanting to be so close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach.
“Adding to the exclusivity of the grand design, this residence, which has won the notable title of Queensland House of the Year, is a rare find indeed, with its house area of 1035sq m. And it may never been repeated.
“Noosa Council has imposed a 500sq m limit on the size of all new houses, regardless of the land area.’’
SOMETHING SPECTACULAR AT SUNSHINE
When talking Sunshine Beach you quickly realise this is one of the most liveable communities to come across.
With ocean beach to the east and with national park to the north and west, it has a convenient shopping precinct in Duke St – just across the park from the surf club.
Arguably one of the most sought-after addresses is Arakoon Cres, which is to the north but still walkable to the village.
Only a few years old, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, one-car beachfront house at number 10 is for sale by expressions of interest.
Rachel Sellman of Century 21 Conolly Hay Group is marketing the property which is fully holiday lettable and has proven to be heavily booked throughout the year with guests.
Much of the appeal is that the main living and bedroom is on one level with the guests downstairs.
Rachel describes is as perhaps one of the most spectacular properties along Arakoon – a one-of-a-kind residence promising the best in modern luxury and elegance.
Designed by the renowned Beach House Architecture, there is a striking entry to the spacious two-storey layout which is centred around an internal breezeway.
Expanses of glass frame the uninterrupted ocean views, with the open-plan kitchen and living room featuring striking cabinetry, an induction cooktop, a large island and a feature backsplash.
There is an easy connection to the front balcony or the breezeway with space to dine alfresco and under the stars.
A lounge room and a powder room are on this main floor, alongside your main bedroom suite with a balcony, a spacious robe and ensuite.
Two more bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a second ensuite, are nestled on the lower level – plus there’s a changing room and a versatile sleepout/lounge.
As well as the swimming pool, there’s an outdoor shower and soaking tub, a fire pit area and more of those ocean views.
