One of the great Australian dreams is having the beach as your very own backyard. And at this luxurious Noosa penthouse, that heartfelt desire transforms to real life in a scintillating symphony of colour, sight and sound. Sitting in the middle of cosmopolitan Hastings St, the property encompasses the entire penthouse level in a boutique block of just three full-floor apartments. As befits its location, the perspective is oriented towards a celebration of sun, surf and sand.

With absolute frontage to the jewel in Noosa’s crown that is iconic Main Beach, the property’s expansive beachfront terrace is a window on a world that evolves and transforms throughout each day, from the first burst of morning sunshine across the waves to the last gasp of warmth as the day gives way to night. See families and friends, wave riders and walkers, seniors and snorkellers… all enjoying the pristine stretch of beach in ways that are utterly personal and incredibly pleasurable. It’s enough to draw you downstairs and through the private beach entrance to feel the soft sand underneath your own feet. As the water laps at your heels, or the breeze flutters across your face, it’s a reminder that while a picture can tell 1000 words, nothing beats a real-world experience.

On the other side of the block, busy and buzzing Hastings St offers enjoyment of a different kind, from on-trend fashion boutiques and independent retailers to restaurants whose names and chefs are known far and wide. It’s an ambience built around the spirit of welcome and an invitation to promenade, dine in, people watch, shop or even explore nearby attractions such as the flora and fauna of lush Noosa National Park.

At the heart of it all lies your private sanctuary, accessed by lift from the garage and offering the ultimate in luxury lifestyle, right down to the inviting complex pool and entertaining courtyard.

With impeccable furnishings created by one of Noosa’s top interior designers, tones of mint blend artfully with neutrals throughout the living and leisure spaces, beautifully offset by the warming tones of timber. There’s space aplenty to gather and retreat, plus a state-of-the-art kitchen to make meal preparation as simple, or sophisticated, as you desire. The real highlight however, is that magnificent glass-balustraded balcony, where the beach as backyard stretches in every direction. Get caught up in the moments unfolding below, head downstairs to be part of them, or simply absorb the panorama from the comfort of a sunlounger.

It’s the great Australian dream come to life.
