Imagine the scene from totally irresistible Little Cove, where the only limit, as they say, is the horizon. It is also where the Coral Sea meets rainforest, albeit the forever verdant Noosa National Park with its world-class surf breaks, is almost on the doorstep of squeaky white sand on Little Cove Beach, and there's a pathway nearby to Hastings Street and beachside restaurants.
Sequestered in-between, on an enviable and prized plum corner site in Little Cove and environs, is an original classic beach cottage built in 1970 and designed by renowned award-winning, foundational modernist Brisbane architect Robert Froud, who also had a direct formative link to Hastings Street and Little Cove.
"This is the beach cottage everyone quizzes me about so often," comments agency principal Tom Offerman. "Do you think they'll ever sell with an emphasis on 'ever' is common. Not surprising given the appeal is obvious, a cute classic highset on a corner amid palms and ancient native vegetation, with glimmers of the Noosa River and Laguna Bay. And the position is the epicentre of Little Cove, 100 metres down the staircase to Hastings Street, or a shady road walk to Little Cove Beach."
"The land carries the lion's share of the value, and the calibre of homes recently completed, rising and planned along this exclusive escarpment will underpin this prime investment location forever and a day."
The original two-level beach cottage has retained many of its features including internal timber panelling and flooring, blonde brick features also windows looking into tropical rainforest.
The open plan lounge and dining have slide away doors to the terrace and a north-facing aspect. The kitchen has white-topped timber cabinetry and appliances; there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and undercover parking for two cars. Side and rear gardens meld with the Noosa National Park.
After 56 years of enduring love and multi-generational family celebrations, is the time ripe for an entrepreneurially-minded investor to demolish, develop, and make the move to gold class? Feel cool sea-salt breezes, think multiple spirit-stirring terraces to capture forever views, sun-bathed living areas, and a 5-star masterpiece with avantgarde design credentials.
"The location really is second-to-none," reaffirm eponymous real estate agency principal Tom Offermann, and marketing agent Rebekah Offermann. "There is a dedicated pathway access to Hastings St via the main boardwalk or direct stairs immediately across street, to Locale restaurant. An easier walking path connects to Morwong Drive and is close to Hastings Streets cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques close. It's also mere minutes to Little Cove Beach and the Noosa National Park with its world recognised Surfing Reserve.
"There is only one Noosa, and this property really is an extraordinary one-chance-in-a-lifetime opportunity, also an indisputable tour de force for a savvy person to own a totally serious slice of paradise in Little Cove. It is known, as a jewel on Australia's eastern seaboard for good reason."
