Think crisp, clear mornings and sun-drenched days locals and visitors treasure. Some even say it’s the best time of the year!
There’s no cooling off even though it is winter with every day property-wise bright and beautiful, and when it comes to achieving exceptional results, experience matters.
A recent auction success was a three-bedroom apartment 5 of the boutique Mariners Point complex at 2-4 William St, Noosaville, listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Eliza Coppin.
With its idyllic northerly aspect, stunning 360-degree views sweeping Noosa Heads along Noosaville and across to the North Shore and year-round lashings of sun, it’s not surprising a busy campaign ensued through outstanding enquiry and inspections from locals, Brisbane and interstate.
“The outcome was amazing,” said a thrilled Eliza. “At the auction in front of a full house, there were five registered bidders, and it was sold under the hammer for $3.23m to a very excited family from Melbourne.
“It was at a sunset inspection, glass of wine in hand on the terrace, when they decided that their first real estate purchase in Noosa would be right here by the riverside. Dreams do come true.”
BRINGING OUTDOORS IN
Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata listed the four-bedroom 20 White Beech Rd, Noosa Heads, in the ever-popular Elysium Estate.
It was billed as “ultra luxe living near Noosa Main Beach; peaceful, natural lush surrounds … and a clever design that has reimagined and reoriented a free-spirited residence, flooding it with natural light, and big bright spaces that invite the outdoors in to savour.”
It was sold under the hammer; however, the price was undisclosed.
SUNRISE CONTINUES TO SURPRISE
It was a similar story at Peter TeWhata’s listing of 28 Netherby Rise, Sunrise Beach, a sassy three-bedroom beach house with pool and sauna, sea views and 500m to the sand.
Waking to the sound of waves breaking onshore is the norm. Understandably there was a large crowd on auction day with five registered bidders including three up tempo, very serious about making it their own.
The undisclosed sale price fell just a whisker shy of the street record set nearly five-years ago by Peter for a new home.
The sellers, who have loved the house for 32 years, are relocating to Brisbane to be with family and grandchildren, while the successful family had recently relocated from interstate to the area and cannot wait to move into their forever home.
CHANGES IN ATTITUDES
Brad Schultz of Richardson and Wrench Noosa is taking a three-bedroom, ground-floor apartment in Noosaville to auction this week that reflects the changes in the way properties are managed these days.
Formerly the on-site manager residence at 1 Bermuda Villas 7-13 Howard St, it has been listed due to the shift towards owner-managed properties for short-term holiday, longer-term use or permanent residence.
It is one of 15 in the complex and offers position as well as size. There is long or short-term holiday rental approval.
Close to the river, Bermuda Villas has a solar-heated swimming pool but is a walk-up so no lift, keeping body corporate fees down.
“It’s remarkable the amount of space there is in the apartment,’’ Brad said. “It blew me away.
“It is the only three-bedroom apartment in the complex.
“The owner is rescinding the management rights. This decision has the blessing for the owners, and is seeing interest from those looking to live or invest in such a good-sized apartment.’’
Being on the ground floor, the 416sq m apartment has exclusive use of the grassed area and decking. As well, there is the expired management reception and storage area.
It has a good streetscape as well, with a deep area from the road containing mature paperbark trees creating a pleasant buffer zone.
There has been southern interest as well as locals looking to downsize, improve their position or invest.
All on one level it offers bright open-plan living, spacious kitchen, and a seamless flow to the outdoors.
Tiled throughout with carpeted bedrooms, air-conditioning and ceiling fans, the now-vacant reception area could convert to a separate fourth bedroom, office or extend living space.
The main bedroom comes complete with ensuite and sliding glass doors to the side yard.
PRIME BEACHSIDE LOCATION
In what has become a highly-regarded address, Orient Dve at Sunrise Beach offers wide ocean views from its elevated position.
Rebekah Offermann 0and Peter TeWhata at Tom Offermann Real Estate are taking a luxury multi-level house with pool at 34 Orient Dve to auction Friday, 8 August, at 10am.
With four-bathrooms, two-car accommodation and pool, the house sits on 690sq m and features a lift, media room and heated pool.
Combined with the 180-degree ocean views, the house features hardwood floors, natural stone, expansive glass, high ceilings, ducted air-conditioning and a versatile studio, Rebekah said.
“There has been a strong start to the campaign. It’s an incredible home.
“There are so many different elements to it … perhaps the ultimate beach house.
“It is so well positioned on a prestigious street.’’
Suited to family or extended family, the house would suit another generation to stay or visit, as well as out-of-town visitors.
Centre of attention on the north-west terrace is the stunning heated pool and custom seating, plus poolside undercover terrace.
The galley kitchen comes with stone-topped cabinetry including a lengthy island adorned with raffia pendants. Augmented by a sizeable pantry, super-sized Smeg induction cooktop and pyrolytic oven, Blum soft-close drawers, LG fridge plus Fisher and Paykel double-drawer dishwasher.
The dedicated home theatre includes the latest Sony projector, Denon surround sound AV receiver, a Control 4 system and innumerable accessories. There is a kitchenette or bar area nearby.
The main bedroom suite retreat offers the sight and sound of white-tipped waves at sunrise and comprises a travertine-tiled ensuite with two-basin cabinetry and a bathtub, plus walk-in and built-in robes.
The first floor has a main-style bedroom with walk-in robe, white-tiled ensuite and those views, also three bedrooms and a bathroom.
On the ground floor is a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with entry from the garage or sliding doors off the terrace.
REIGNITING THE SPIRIT
There is much to love about a residence that captures and combines the spirit and green surrounds of the exclusive Elysium estate at Noosa Heads.
Erica Newton and Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate are taking a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 11 Smoke Bush Dve to auction Friday, 8 August, at 2pm.
In the original part of the estate and enjoying an avenue-style address, the single-level house is a statement of design and high-end quality.
The façade uses a raw palette of materials, and an imposing statement door that opens to a raked foyer and expansive hallway revealing lofty ceilings.
Clerestory windows allow sunlight to drench the moody grey porcelain tiles throughout.
On the right is a media, fourth bedroom or lounge, while further along the over-sized living and dining spaces enjoy a northerly aspect. Louvres and banks of sliding glass doors provide a seamless indoor/outdoor connectivity to the undercover alfresco terrace.
Sub-tropical gardens provide a wonderful area for year-round entertaining.
The long galley-style kitchen comes with stone and timber-hued cabinetry including island bench, walk-in storage-aplenty pantry, also premium appliances.
The carpeted main bedroom suite has a garden outlook, is conveniently located at the front of the residence, has a massive walk-in robe, plus a free-standing bath, walk-in shower and double vanity basins, in the ensuite.
In the south wing, there are two bedrooms with built-in robes and a share family-size bathroom, while additional spaces include a laundry and powder room.
The stand-out yet serene estate has a strong connection to nature, the agents said.
There are walking trails and bike tracks along Lake Weyba, also through the Noosa National Park with its flora and fauna.
