45 Wyuna Drive, Noosa Heads

Elegant, entrancing and effortless in equal parts, this magnificent Noosa Heads property turns the great outdoors into your own private playground. Stretching across two levels, the six-bedroom home lies around the corner from Munna Point on the banks of Weyba Creek. As befits its spectacular natural location, the star attraction is an expansive backyard retreat that elevates waterside living to a whole new level.

Overlooking the emerald waters and lush green environs of Noosa Sound, a private sandy beach offers plenty of room for young and old to stretch out on a towel, build a sandcastle, dip their feet in the shallows, swim, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or catch up with the characters in a favourite novel. A specially built set of stairs gives access up to the private jetty, which can serve as a stepping-off point for boating and other activities, or as a destination in its own right, perhaps with a fishing line or icy beverage in hand or the desire simply to take a seat and bask in the serenity.

All make a fitting entrée to the home’s expansive timber deck, which is fully furnished for the complete outdoor lifestyle. A fenced inground pool, nearby sunloungers and intimate two-person dining set-up take advantage of the natural outlook. Meanwhile a private barbecue and massive table make alfresco entertaining a breeze, whether you’re basking in the sun’s bright rays or bathing in the moonlight.

From here, large timber-framed doors pull back to ensure a seamless flow from the outdoors to the interior, where earthy tones that evoke nature’s hues bring welcome warmth to the neutral palette, alongside a stone fireplace that’s perfect for chilly days and nights.

Designed with an open-plan perspective, the main living zone encompasses a massive kitchen to delight culinary enthusiasts, who can serve dinner at the island bench or around a table. The zoned living area with angled ceiling is a relaxing point for coffee and conversation, with multiple other living and gathering spaces, including a media room, spread out across the floorplan. Much like the spacious bedrooms, they enjoy cooling breezes and natural sunlight, which stream through statement timber window shutters.

From its central position between Gympie Terrace and Noosa Parade, the property offers easy access through to high-profile attractions such as Hastings St, Main Beach and Noosa National Park. Here, wishful desires become real-life indulgences as you explore beautiful bushland, tackle the famous north-facing surf beach, load up your phone with family photos or sample the kind of elegant cuisine for which Noosa is known and famed worldwide.

It’s a place to stop, cast off the outside world, give yourself over to pure enjoyment and take a deep breath, the kind that will transform the spirit, body and soul.

The only question is – when can you come?
