Nestled between the Noosa National Park and Lake Weyba, 3km to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, is the exclusive Noosa Springs residential estate, and the world class 6180m, par 72 championship course designed by Graham Papworth.
It is widely considered one of the best golf-based residential communities in the country.
Stealing the limelight are two remarkable sprawling residences not only with double billing as totally on par with excellence but sharing numerous co-incidences.
Both are positioned on two super-sized sites in the dress circle of Noosa Springs, have north-facing golf course frontages beside a lake as well as wide course views. One is on the fourth fairway, the other on the 17th. Double eagle before lunch anyone?
Innovative design credits go to acclaimed locals Paul Clout and Stephen Kidd.
The crowning glory of residence 701 The Palms is undoubtedly Paul Clout’s pedigree with sophisticated, refined and inviting design beyond grand scale and high-end quality, boldly staking its claim seemingly on an island, albeit a dizzying unparalleled 2244sq m site, and views of water from every room including the guest suite also the fourth fairway.
Inside, a gallery wall of fold-away paned glass, bridge over a sandstone-edged meandering pool, gardens reminiscent of the Mediterranean and stands of mighty palms beyond offer multiple vignettes where the brushstrokes never dry. It is the heart of class, the perfect pairing of effortless elegance with chic modernity.
The residence, Clout acknowledges, was inspired by his travels in the Mediterranean, such as monolithic-style rock sculptures which take their place in the sun either side of the travertine walkway and first of many atriums, as one of his “all-time favourites, the complete resort with separate compounds”.
Breathtakingly exquisite and unequalled are celebrated designer Stephen Kidd’s venerable skills and innate attention to detail of 517 The Ridge on a 1239sq m site.
The voluminous spaces are drenched with dappled natural light thanks to the surrounding clerestory windows, coffered VJ ceilings and north-facing glass panels which disappear in a seamless fashion to the alfresco terraces. The glistening pool and lower part of the terrace ostensibly hover over the lily-padded lake, and beyond is the 17th fairway.
Impressive is an understatement while gazing beyond the massive two-tier Ralph Lauren-designed chandeliers and wall of heritage-style glass-fronted custom cabinetry in the main living area, to golfers on the 17th fairway. The mezzanine, an additional sitting room is also graced with those superb views. The luminous, light-filled residence really tugs at the heart strings.
“Unforgettable escapes begin with an alluring location such as Noosa Springs,” suggests leading Noosa real estate principal Tom Offermann.
“Meandering avenues fringed by fragrant gardenia and sasanqua hedges, also woven with gracious stands of Foxtail palms, sit the crème de la crème of innovatively designed residences, perhaps with a splash of mid-century modern fresh from the pages of a glossy magazine.
“I equate buyers attracted to the exclusive golf-based residential estate of Noosa Springs, similar to those on the waterways of Noosa Sound, both with the prestigious Noosa Heads’ postcode, and both offering incredible lifestyles while being underpinned with enormous capital growth potential.”
