Noosa hinterland has long been a favoured green backdrop to the gold of the beaches and blue of the ocean.
What was dairy farms, sugar cane properties and orchards for tropical fruits has now become popular for grazing, horses and lifestyle properties.
Long a benchmark has been Sunrise Rd, stretching along a ridgeline from Tinbeerwah to Eumundi.
Erica Newton at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking a family-friendly home with self-contained cottage on 2.5ha at 590 Sunrise Rd to auction on Friday, 27 March.
“It’s the most amazing family home,’’ Erica said. “There are six bedrooms and four bathrooms on offer.
“The kitchen, dining and outside entertaining area all look over the infinity pool, so you can keep an eye on the children.
“The property is fenced, flat and useable. The pool has a slide and there is a half-size basketball court.
“A self-contained, rentable cottage has its own driveway, garage and shed. Another studio is within the main residence.’’
The auction will be held on-site at midday.
The main residence covers about 397sq m and offers multiple internal living areas including music room, media room, games room with built-in bar/kitchenette, and open plan living/dining.
All areas are serviced by a well-equipped galley kitchen with butler’s pantry.
There is also a self-contained bedroom/office/studio adjoining the garage with kitchenette and bathroom, a versatile space with its own external access that could be used for multiple purposes.
The alfresco entertaining zone is truly next-level, comprising an expansive covered terrace with outdoor kitchen, open air poolside terrace, a timber sundeck, infinity pool and poolside hut with heated spa, and firepit area.
Features include zoned ducted air-conditioning plus split-system in the studio and granny flat, ceiling fans, easy-care hybrid flooring and plantation shutters.
Dual walk-in robes are in the main bedroom suite, together with full-sized bathtubs in two of the bathrooms, external access from four of the bedrooms, security cameras, and 20kW solar power.
Infrastructure on the property is also impressive with a 9m by 9m powered three-bay Colorbond shed with high clearance and a 6m by 6m shed.
“This is an exceptionally family-friendly property in every sense,’’ Erica said.
QUEENSLAND-STYLE PRIZE HOME
A former Your Town prize home on 1.4ha at Doonan is to be offered at auction this month with a full display furniture package.
The property, at 15 Naturalist Place, is being marketed by Erica Newton and will go to the market at 11am on Saturday, 28 March.
A five-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool shows that Queensland style will always be in fashion.
PRIVACY CLOSE TO EVERYTHING
If there’s one thing Noosa provides it’s variety in the type of properties that are offered.
Chris Miller at Tom Offermann Real Estate has an interesting couple of listings going to auction this month that will appeal to different demographics.
A five-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 13 Wandoo Ct, Noosaville, goes to auction Saturday, 14 March, at 2pm.
“They have done such a fantastic job on the renovation of this family home,’’ Chris said. “Not just inside but taking advantage of how private the position is, and with the natural beauty of the backdrop comprising bushland reserve and creek.
“So many people who have been through the open for inspections comment on how good to see something with everything done.
“It’s a floor-to-ceiling renovation at the end of a cul-de-sac.
“What is interesting is it’s appeal to quite a few people who had been considering hinterland for privacy.
“This is in an attractive price bracket and everything is nearby.’’
The initial response has been locals … but both Sydney and Melbourne interests looking at relocating.
A well-equipped galley kitchen is the central hub of the home with an extra-long porcelain topped breakfast bar, premium appliances including an Italian electric oven with gas cooktop, integrated dishwasher, soft-close cabinetry, and mirror splashback.
The totally private alfresco entertaining zone comes with a resort-style pool and water feature, powered Balinese-style gazebo, covered terrace, timber decking, dedicated firepit area, and lush forest backdrop.
An impressive suite of notable features includes 16kW ducted inverter air-conditioning, ceiling fans, hybrid flooring, stunning feature wall in lounge, floor-to-ceiling tiles and brushed brass tapware in luxury bathrooms, built-in study nooks in two of the bedrooms, direct terrace access from main bedroom, solar power, and solar hot water.
CENTRE OF ATTENTION
Another exciting auction Chris Miller has this month is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment 15/19 Katharina St, Noosa Heads.
Set to be taken to the market at 11am on Friday, 13 March, it would suit an owner-occupier or investor.
“People are looking for a trendy spot, cut off from through traffic yet highly accessible.
“This ground-floor apartment has short-term letting potential.
“Katharina is a leafy street with a lot of rejuvenation going on.
“I’m really looking forward to both auctions.’’
The chic two-bedroom air-conditioned bijou apartment, comes with a private alfresco garden terrace,.
Located in the cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Heads, it is close to The Junction, Hastings St and Noosa River.

Then there is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom villa at Peppers Noosa Resort with private rainforest outlook.
