Picture a spectacular address, mere minutes to toes-in-the-white sand of irresistible Little Cove Beach, being almost sequestered within the forever verdant Noosa National Park with its world-class surf breaks, while moments away along the boardwalk sophisticated Hastings Street meets laidback Noosa Main Beach with its beachside restaurants, as well as Laguna Bay.
It's eye-catching from the street yet with a walled frontage a sense of mystique prevails momentarily along the walkway, where garden art amongst the sub-tropical plantings grabs your attention.
On a similar note, open the arty double gates to reveal a charming Mediterranean-inspired totally private residence ostensibly built into the contours of the land and creating an idyllic connection to the great outdoors.
Inside, the super cool sassy residence with two north-facing terraces running its width on two levels, cleverly takes its prized place in the sun, whilst maximising the notion of inviting itself indoors to shadow dance over beautiful and seemingly endless Brushbox flooring.
The living space has a wood-burner fireplace and separate dining area with slide-away cedar framed doors to the undercover terrace, adding to entertaining options, whilst the centre of attraction is an ever-so high void with atrium-style glass ceiling. Below is marine-grade balustrading with guitar tensioners creatively connected to the nautically inspired curved western red cedar staircase.
Admire numerous doors lovingly hand crafted in various exotic timbers such as Papua New Guinea walnut, plus unique diffused glass panes.
Adding charisma to a happy place for culinary creativity is the U-shaped kitchen with curved, black-topped birds-eye jarrah on the high and prep benches, also wall cabinetry. A suite of Bosch appliances is augmented by a Samsung icemaker fridge. Easy access from the garage after unloading a big shop makes life easier; an expansive courtyard suggests long lunches; and the laundry is close too.
When it comes to living and loving life to the fullest in the idyllic sub-tropics, a leisure space on the upper level adds to the brief. The serious bar, designed as per the kitchen in Jarrah cabinetry, has a sink, bar fridge and window opening to the northerly terrace, so ideal for sundowners accompanied by trilling choruses from the feathered locals. And there's more! On the south side is an expansive studio with exposed beams and ceiling, a wall of storage and a realm of possibilities!
Dreamtime bliss when surrounded by nature is easy-peasy. Two bedrooms are on the upper floor including a white-bright premier suite retreat with access to north terrace for maybe a morning cuppa, also a walk-in robe and ensuite with spa bath. In the east wing the bedroom has built-in robes and an ensuite-style bathroom plus separate toilet. On the ground floor the bedroom has a high ceiling, accesses the north undercover terrace, a bathroom ensuite with a bathtub, as well as an adjacent two-way powder room.
"After 35-years of exceptional holiday memories the time is ripe to pass the baton on to sage investors," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Nic Hunter.
"Magical Little Cove is a jewel on Australia's seaboard. It's where the ocean meets rainforest albeit the Noosa National Park. It's mere minutes via a designated pathway or the boardwalk to Hastings Street and there is arguably no place in the Noosa region this close to so many well-known natural assets such as beaches and world-class surf breaks.
"This treasure is the ultimate investment prize."
