A five-bedroom waterfront house in Noosa’s famed Witta Ccl has sold at auction for a Sunshine Coast record of $17.6m.
The house, on 610sq m at 31 Witta Ccl, features a showpiece wet-edge pool, sand beach and jetty.
Gillian McCauley and Shane McCauley of Richardson & Wrench Noosa had, as expected, significant enquiry during the marketing campaign.
There were four registered bidders from Sydney, Melbourne and local for the 11am Saturday auction.
“There is so much money in Noosa at the moment,” Shayne said, “so locals are very active.”
With a start of $15m, the house, with six bathrooms and secure parking for three vehicles, sold under the hammer for $17.6m
It marks he highest sale under the hammer on the Sunshine Coast, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald said.
The property has been approved for short-term letting and that appealed to the Melbourne buyers, as well as the location as it looks across the water to a bushland backdrop yet within walking distance of Hastings St and Main Beach.
The buyers intend to refurbish the house initially and will make it their home.
Other interests were going to renovate or rebuild.
The flexibility of the floorplan was another driver of interest. The indoor-outdoor living design ensures seamless integration of comfort with leisure.
Spacious living areas are part of the open-plan design, along with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a soothing palette.
There are five bedrooms, each with a private ensuite, including a main bedroom suite with a balcony overlooking the river.
A chef’s kitchen and expansive bar come with bar seating and a stand-alone bar.
Split-system air-conditioning has been installed throughout, and there is gated access.
