The allure of a beach holiday is universal. But the allure of a holiday that includes a private beach takes that wish list to a whole other level of luxury. And it’s one showcased to great effect in this stunning Noosa Heads home. Claiming a waterfront position within the canalside estate of Noosa Sound, the four-bedroom property stretches out across a spacious and elegant single level. With an aesthetic anchored in neutrals, rich timbers and vibrant shots of colour, it embodies the soothing spirit of an island retreat. This makes it an ideal destination for parties of families and/or friends.

With bedrooms well positioned to offer a sense of privacy, the home’s living spaces are designed to bring guests together. Smaller seating areas allow for heartfelt catch-ups and intimate chats while the heart of the lifestyle hub lies with a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area that flows on from a fully equipped modern kitchen. Flooded in natural light, the zone showcases the home’s elegant lines and superb natural panorama, making it a welcome spot for relaxation and recreation.

Out the back, a large timber jetty is the perfect place to cast in a line, with eager hopes of catching a feed for dinner. Stretching out on either side is an inviting stretch of private beach that’s exclusive to your party. With beautiful white sand fringing inviting emerald waters, it’s an ideal spot to relax on a towel as the sun makes its way across the sky. For a more active take on this slice of paradise you could kick a ball around or dive into aquatic activities both in and on the water.

When your energy is spent, walk the few steps back to the home’s appealing alfresco entertaining zone, which is partly undercover. For foodies, a massive barbecue allows the pick of local ingredients to be grilled fresh and served straight to the outdoor dining table, while an inground pool is surrounded by lush plantings and swaying trees. Sunloungers offer a prime position for enjoying the warmth of the sunshine and delightful cooling breezes. The real challenge here is not losing track of time.

With a sense of adventure to satisfy, the home gives easy access to the area’s best attractions and tourist hot spots. A short walk leads through to the cosmopolitan precinct of Hastings St, known in equal measure for its delightful shopping and divine, decadent cuisine. Metres beyond that lies glorious Main Beach, with other nearby natural drawcards including the lush surrounds of Noosa National Park and a popular surf break.

Whatever your taste in wish lists and holidays, Noosa has it in spades. Just don’t forget that you have one key advantage to take your time here from special to superlative – a private sandy white beach to call your own. Does life get any better than this?
