In a resounding statement of confidence in the Noosa market, two prestige properties auctioned on Saturday and touted as blockbusters have both been sold at auction for an eye-watering combined value of $30million.
Leading Noosa real estate agency principal Tom Offermann, who marketed both properties, said “the mood at both auctions was electric, both had high numbers of spectators, and each had five bidders who knew this was the time to step up and make it theirs.
“The team and I fielded around 500 enquires throughout the campaigns, which underpins the staggering interest in Noosa property.”
A five-bedroom, architect-designed beachfront house at 38 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach, was the first to go, owned by a Silicon Valley-based expat.
With almost 50-metres of seaside frontage, there are distinctive zones spread over two levels, and multiple terraces including around the pool.
The fierce bidding finally culminated in the fall of the hammer amid a raucous round of applause at $13.1m.
The action then shifted to the other side of the Noosa National Park to 3 Allambi Rise in popular Little Cove on the escarpment overlooking Noosa Beach, a 1960’s cottage held by the same Melbourne family for 49 years.
The house overlooks Laguna Bay with multiple terraces plus sun-bathed living areas set over three levels.
Developers, intending home builders, and investors battled it out to the closing bid of $16.9m with whales breaching in Laguna Bay and a thunderstorm opening up on the event just as the hammer fell.
Noosa has become a top-tier national and global destination, Tom Offermann said, and its real estate market is simply unstoppable.
“Those that have been waiting for a correction in the market and for prices to come down in Noosa will unfortunately be left behind: ‘I could have bought, I should have bought, and prices are too high’, these are among the many similar phrases we so often hear.
“Yet the future will continue to repeat the past because there are so many wonderful things that people treasure about Noosa.”
Other high calibre properties that have just hit the market and are experiencing strong interest are two exquisite riverfront homes on Noosa Sound and a four-bedroom penthouse in Hastings Park, opposite Noosa Beach.
