There’s never a bad time to buy good real estate. It’s a saying I’ve heard from leading agents and it surfaced again this week.
Noosa finds itself in a relatively protected part of Australia’s east coast
We have felt the effects of cyclonic weather in the past and always come out of it stronger.
Only a handful of cyclones have impacted the South East Queensland coastline in almost 60 years.
So Cyclone Alfred swinging by saw changes to the way we operated – particularly in regard to schools, shops, transport and homes open for inspection.
The auction of the waterfront house with pool and jetty at 9 Waterside Court in Noosa Waters, was postponed from Saturday to midweek.
What a propitious decision, with the sun showing off the avant-garde design by an international award-winning architect, the long sapphire blue waterway, as well as the north-facing terrace – a true oasis of calm, with luminescent circular solar heated pool and spa taking centre stage.
Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agents Rebekah Offermann and Luke Chen made the decision to shift it to midweek when, in true Noosa fashion, the sun was shining.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence naturally attracted a myriad of well-qualified buyers Australia-wide during the marketing campaign, and on auction day there was serious interest from local residents and excited property hunters.
However, three registered bidders took it in turn to battle it out, then it stalled with negotiations between buyers and sellers taking a little more time.
The patient crowd eventually dissipated, the agents emerged to an empty room with only sellers, agents, plus one with bidder on the phone.
The property was declared sold; the buyers were thrilled to secure their forever home; and the hunt is on to find more properties to offer those who missed out.
The price is confidential but it is a new Waterside Court record.
WELL-POSITIONED AT NOOSA HEADS
Acting prudently in the face of Cyclone Alfred were Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Adam Offermann who, after long consultations with the sellers at 28 The Quarterdeck, Noosa Heads, postponed the auction to Friday, 21 March, at 1pm.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house was to go to the market on Saturday, 8 March, but the change was made in the client’s best interests.
The property is positioned above Noosa Junction, and within walking distance to Hastings St as well as Main Beach.
From here, there are glorious views of Noosa River and Lake Weyba, as well as the hinterland.
The feel of the living upstairs with the deck is appealing to interested parties, while the south-west terrace is mostly under cover, and the open-plan living and dining area comes with vaulted ceiling.
With living areas on each level, there is the option for dual living or a leisure zone downstairs.
There are two bedrooms on this level – one opens to the terrace; a bathroom has a bathtub/shower; plus, separate toilet. The adjoining laundry has access to a drying area, there’s storage under the stairs, and a two-car garage.
Interests have been across the board – locals as well as interstate.
PRESTIGE WATERFRONT LIVING
There has been phenomenal interest in a luxury waterfront property on Witta Ccle at Noosa Heads in the lead-up to auction.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom, two-car waterfront house with pool and jetty at 31 Witta Circle, is being marketed by Gillian McCauley and Shane McCauley of Richardson & Wrench Noosa.
It goes to auction Saturday, 22, at 11am.
Early response has been from interstate and locals alike, Gillian said, with registered interest for bidding.
The main interest has been investment yet also those naturally wanting to move in permanently.
“The main appeal is obviously the location, looking to the bushland across the water.
“The fact it is short-term, holiday-let approved is also driving interest.
“People love the floorpan – the downstairs living is quite open, with the bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom off each.
“There is a powder room downstairs, and an outdoor shower for after the pool or the beach.”
The property comes with a private beach, jetty, and wet-edge pool.
Indoor-outdoor living architectural design ensures seamless integration of indoor comfort with outdoor leisure.
There are river views from every angle. Spacious living areas with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass.
The main bedroom suite features a standing balcony overlooking the river.
As well as a chef’s kitchen there is an expansive bar with seating and a stand-alone area.
Split system air-conditioning is fitted throughout and there is gated access.
SURE TO IMPRESS
A renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house, pool, shed, at 18 Palm Grove Cres, Tewantin, goes to auction 11am, Saturday, 22 March.
The home, with multiple living and dining areas, is being marketed by Anita Nichols of Laguna Real Estate.
This large, single-level family home offers the highly desirable coastal lifestyle as it is surrounded with lush tropical gardens on 1032sq m.
The rear of the home provides a stunning entertaining area with a large, 85,000 litre Bionizer chlorine-free, freshwater pool, cabana and a fire pit.
The expansive main bedroom suite opens out through sliding doors to the rear alfresco area, overlooking the gardens and pool.
There is a renovated ensuite with a large walk-in shower and high ceilings, offering great separation from the other three bedrooms and creating a fabulous parents retreat.
Bedrooms two, three and four are serviced by the newly-renovated bathroom and separate WC.
The high ceilings, VJ panelling and doors give a luxe, beachy feel with soft natural light filtering through the sheer window dressings.
The kitchen comes with loads of storage and a beautiful pool outlook.
There’s a 3m by 5m shed and a lock-up garage.
OPPORTUNITY COMES KNOCKING
It needs work … or knocking down and starting again. Yet the result will surely be worth it.
Damon Gore and Connie Gore of Countryside Realty Noosa are taking a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 2023sq m at Tinbeerwah to auction Friday, 21 March, at 12pm.
The house, in an elevated position in what is a highly desirable hinterland road, has sweeping views of Noosa.
Built in the 1970s, it does not meet current building standards. The pool is sound but has no compliance certification.
What it does have is breathtaking sunrises and cooling breezes.
It provides a opportunity for both investors and homebuilders, whether as a skilled tradesperson or as someone looking to build a dream home.
Early interest has been local but also interstate.
The two-storey home, features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan kitchen and living area upstairs.
On the lower level is a separate living area and kitchen that opens to the pool and gardens.
The property offers undercover parking for two cars.
