Minutes from alluring Little Cove Beach at Noosa Heads, with its powder-fine sand and crystal-clear turquoise water, is Lumiere.
Marketed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller as a ‘white diamond pure indulgence,’ the sparkling new property at 2/1-7 Bayview Road is in an exclusive enclave.
A dual occupancy – two luxury homes on the same site – it can fetch thousands of dollars a day on the holiday market.
Prior to Friday’s lunchtime auction, the seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom house with two pools attracted immense interest from interstate and internationally.
The midday auction saw three registered bidders and $10m being the opening bid.
“The auction ebbed and flowed,” Chris Miller said, “with bidding increments as low as $50,000 and as high as $400,000 over the next 45 minutes.
“Negotiations were entered into when bidding reached $14.35m, resulting in a sale under the hammer at $15m.
“The sale represents the third highest sale price in Little Cove, and the highest Little Cove sale price of a property without a view of Laguna Bay. In fact, it is the highest Noosa sale price ever for a non-waterfront, non-water view property.
“The new owners are thrilled to have secured a property of such beauty and quality and cannot wait to begin enjoying it with family and friends – and of course there’s room for them all! In addition to the stunning home itself, they were also very attracted to the private setting with rainforest backdrop.
“They can walk to everything Noosa Heads such as Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park and surf breaks, also the holiday letting potential is extraordinarily attractive.”
The buyers benefit from securing Lumiere from the renowned design, development, building and construction team of Deborah Watson and Glen Watson, who are at the peak of their work and career.
Previous showpieces including Coco Privé in Little Cove, Azure in Sunshine Beach and Riviera in Noosa Heads.
It was a four-year process, from wrangling the site as vacant land in 2017, to designing and curating every square metre, also agonising over every detail.
Not least the interiors and styling throughout, including the seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the two pools and garaging for six cars.
The property was offered fully inclusive with luxury custom and designer furniture, lighting, artworks and accessories.
The sellers are thrilled to see the result under the hammer, the agent said.
However, it’s bitter-sweet passing the baton on, given they have poured their hearts and souls into Lumiere, a true jewel box of decadent design and white diamond indulgence.
