Perched confidently within the dune, viewing northward from the Noosa National Park Headland of Sunshine Beach, sweeping across the Coral Sea, bright blue like a cloudless sky, and a lush rainforest back garden, the scene is truly picture-perfect.
To complement, is an acutely desirable beach house retaining its original contemporary status thanks to the late great architect Gabriel Poole, a pioneer of what was considered quintessential Noosa design. It not only has a commanding presence in a beachfront location, but also has a private path to toes-in-the-dazzling white sand, the pooch-friendly off-leash area, and treasured surf breaks for the super stoked.
From the street, take the tree fern-fringed timber walkway to the entry. Push aside the statement custom timber front door and behold the bright beachy aesthetic and natural sunlight shadow dancing across seemingly endless washed oak-toned flooring. Living and dining spaces of varying scale, ceiling heights, curved lines and mood, morph to outdoors where the main covered terrace with sea views and the sound of waves breaking onshore, wet the appetite for entertaining whatever the reason and season.
Look out over the back garden with water features, note the meandering pathways to the back gate leading to the beach, this is all about bliss in spades.
Shutters and louvres guarantee cross ventilation between the living areas, which extend to the south side. Once again it coalesces with an undercover terrace with leisure furniture, also a pool surrounded by a timber sun terrace. More enjoyment options includes an undercover leisure/games space, plus laundry and powder room which, thinking parties, could come in handy.
Central to those over-generous living spaces and commensurate in size, is the kitchen with granite-topped white cabinetry including a curved breakfast bar, an island plus long wall bench with verdant outlook, plus every accoutrement and high-end appliance needed to create a family feast.
There are four bedrooms. Upstairs is the premier suite with north-east facing terrace suggesting a morning cuppa accompanied by a sea view, also a television, walk-n robe and an all-white ensuite. Two bedrooms have built-in robes and desks, and the bathroom has a natural stone feature and shower/bath. On the street level is an extra-large bedroom with television and built-in robe, and the bathroom with white stone double basin-topped cabinetry, plus separate toilet are nearby.
"For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle this delightful beach house is in one of the most revered streets of beachside Sunshine Beach," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jesse Stowers, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 18 January 2025. "The location on the north-east side of the Noosa National Park headland, is about a 5-minute drive from Noosa Heads and you can even walk around the headland from Sunshine Beach to Noosa Heads.
"It's the aspiration of many yet rarely available, so the future value of this white-hot prized location, considered the Holy Grail by many, will always be underpinned. Add to that councils approval for full time holiday letting and the flexibility of use makes it a standout opportunity "
