When Rainer Mueckenberger posted his Noosa Nudist Retreat for sale on Gumtree Harcourts Noosa real estate agents Clint Jensen and Jeremy Krieger decided it was right up their alley.
They met with Rainer to market his 2.5 acre property and he agreed but reminded them to abide by the dress code on their return to sign the papers.
“We went out there in the buff and signed the property up,” Clint said.
For 20 years Rainer has owned the Doonan property he loves for being centrally located only 10 minutes to Hastings Street and Noosa River as well as Alexandria Bay which he is sad to say is no longer the nudist beach it once was.
Rainer’s foray into naturism began as a 16-year-old holidaying in Italy. He said after spending all day in and out of the ocean wearing wet Bermuda shorts he developed a bladder infection and a doctor advised him to go natural. “Germans are very much into naturism,“ he said.
Rainer said since then he had found nudist beaches to be the cleanest and friendliest and he has never looked back.
A chef trained in Munich, Rainer ran restaurants in Sydney before moving to Noosa.
He said he has future plans to create a seniors retreat in Thailand.
The Noosa Nudist Retreat features an outdoor nature gym, a bondage room, a romantic rock cave with a spa bath and massage table and pool.
It has hosted and array of workshops, seminars, art retreats and team building activities.
Clint said the property could be used as a bed and breakfast or wellness centre and had gained much interest.
It will be auctioned on 6 November.
