Breakfast overlooking Noosa Sound… a morning swim in your private pool… an afternoon paddle from your private jetty and pontoon. When it comes to making the most of the Sunshine Coast’s enviable waterside position, homes don’t come much more perfect than this jewel in the crown that is Noosa Heads. And that’s only the start of the adventure. Recently renovated to the most exacting of standards, the four-bedroom waterside property beautifully blends a sense of privacy with a premium position. Able to accommodate groups of up to nine people, it’s ideal for families big and small, and/or groups of friends. Then it’s just about making the most of every day in this spectacular corner of the world.

Stretching across multiple levels, the home makes beautiful use of timbers and natural textures throughout its living areas. Curved lounge chairs give way to striking coffee tables, carved surfboards keep sentry above sliding doors and cabinetry draws on rustic tones that marry style with sophistication. Underscoring the warmth are walls of crisp white, which form a canvas for bold elements such as artworks, splashes of green foliage and monochrome colour combinations. The natural ambience continues into the bedrooms – many with outside access – where shutters and blinds bathe the spaces in warm sunshine and draw in cool breezes. Lush tropical plantings outside the windows provide for both privacy and the feeling of paradise found.

Indoors and out, the prestige property provides spacious and stylish living spaces. On the street side, an in-ground pool is surrounded by an expansive paved area adjoining a thatched-roof cabana plus a terrace with table and chairs for alfresco entertaining. Sunloungers in and out of the shade offer the perfect destination for guests looking to do a lot of nothing much at all while plantings and pots enhance the sense of relaxation.

Inside, a stylish open plan from front door to back terrace links together a well-equipped kitchen with island stools and a spacious lounge featuring enough seating to easily bring everyone together, whether the mood is made for watching the small screen or simply embracing the chance to chill and chat. An arch leads through to an appealing dining room, which also offers direct access to the main undercover deck, primed for alfresco entertaining with a barbecue and massive 10-person table. From there it’s but a few steps to a private slice of sandy beach and then a few steps more to dip your feet into the emerald river. Watersports equipment comes with the house for those who want to go exploring, or you can moor your own boat.

From its prime position the home offers easy access to the elegant dining of Quamby Place, and the high-profile attractions of Hastings Street, Main Beach and Noosa National Park. Browse and buy across fashion, jewellery, literature and, of course, the odd souvenir. Don your joggers for bushland exploration or take a seat for a taste of the acclaimed local culinary scene. Grab your board for a surf or simply spread out a towel on a golden expanse of sand so picturesque it’s known the world over.

Whatever your wish list, there’s an avenue to tick it off, working your way through the items one by one and day by day. As they say in the classics: “It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.”
