The Noosa Nudist Retreat reached $1.1million at auction last Saturday before being passed in with owner Rainer Mueckenberger aiming for a sale closer to the $1.35million mark.

Harcourts Noosa real estate agent Clint Jensen said there were six registered bidders at the online auction but as soon as it passed in he was “flooded with phone calls“ from people inquiring about the property.

Mr Jensen said inquiries came from across Australia with differing ambitions for the 2.5 acre Doonan property from residential to a gay nudist retreat.

Sadly there were no bids from celebrities despite online bookmaker Sportsbet listing a few well known names as likely punters.

Mr Jensen said the Sportsbet favourites were removed from their site prior to the auction.

The property attracted incredible interest during marketing with 40 million views in its first week on sale and buyer inquiries coming from both Australia and overseas.

For 20 years Rainer has owned the Doonan property he loves for being centrally located only 10 minutes to Hastings Street, Noosa River and national park.

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.
