PROPERTY VIEWINGS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Two separate homes. Three fully independent living zones, each with its own kitchen, bathroom and entry. That is what sits behind the gate at the end of this Cootharaba lane, on 10.2 acres of Land for Wildlife country a few minutes from the lake and 20 from Noosa.
Key features
• 10.2 acres (4.16 hectares) at the end of a private cul de sac, accessed by a long tree lined driveway
• Main residence of approximately 545m2, built in 2005 and extended by Benco Constructions in 2010
• Upper level with three bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, timber panelling and a master wing with silky oak ensuite
• Self contained lower level with two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, studio and separate access
• Second residence built by GJ Gardner in 2021, with designer kitchen, ensuite and 56m2 veranda
• 9m x 4.5m freshwater pool with Naked filtration, 4m x 4m pavilion and merbau decking
• Titan shed extension of approximately 150m2 with power and generator changeover, plus double garage
• 6.93kW SolarEdge system, extensive rainwater storage and Puretec filtration to both homes
• Land for Wildlife property (#8253) supporting more than 140 bird species, koalas, echidnas and gliders
• Two dams, two creek crossings, 10 fruit trees, 4 raised vegetable beds and more than 5,000 planted trees
The main residence lives large and lives light. Vaulted ceilings, timber panelling, wool carpet and glass open the upper level to the gardens. A bespoke kitchen in timber and granite sits at the centre of it, with a Smeg 90cm freestanding stove with teppanyaki grill and a walk in pantry behind. Three bedrooms sit upstairs, the master taking its own wing with garden outlook, walk in robe and silky oak cabinetry through the ensuite. A cast iron clawfoot bath anchors the main bathroom, and the sunroom folds open to the patio through triple fold doors. Four Daikin systems, security screens, retractable sunshades and a 2025 termite barrier speak to how the home has been kept.
Below it, a second home in everything but title. Lounge, two bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchen, laundry and a large studio with its own toilet and storage, all able to run separately from the level above. Merbau decking carries across to the 9m x 4.5m freshwater pool and pavilion, with the firepit and entertaining deck beyond, so the household can be together or entirely apart without anyone feeling the compromise.
The third zone stands alone at the front of the property. Built by GJ Gardner in 2021 and finished to the same standard as the main house, it carries extra high ceilings, skylights, a full size kitchen with stone benchtops and walk in pantry, a bathroom in floor to ceiling Italian tile, a study nook and a 56m2 veranda looking into its own landscaped gardens. It suits parents, adult children, guests or an income stream, and none of those choices cost the main residence its privacy.
The land has been worked with a long view. Formally recognised as a Land for Wildlife property in 2020, it now supports more than 140 recorded bird species alongside koalas, echidnas, gliders and kangaroos, across two dams, two creek crossings, 50 nesting boxes and more than 5,000 trees put in by hand. Closer to the house, an extensive kitchen garden brings together 10 established fruit and citrus trees and 4 covered raised vegetable beds, enough to keep a multi generational household in season for much of the year. Solar, rainwater, filtration to both homes, advanced wastewater treatment and a Honda fire pump on the main dam make it as practical as it is beautiful.
Cootharaba is held tightly and rarely offers anything of this scale. The lake is minutes away, Tewantin and Noosa are an easy run, and properties genuinely built to hold three households almost never come to market. Inspection by private appointment.
