NOOSA'S NORTH SHORE - LUXURIOUSLY RICH LIFESTYLE - $5000000

Description

RIVERSIDE ESTATE There are very few properties with direct private access to the deepwater main arm of the Noosa River. The majority are situated on the north shore, bordering the pristine coastal environment that stretches on up to Double Island Point and the waters of Wide Bay and Rainbow Beach. This spectacular 12.5 acre riverfront paradise offers total seclusion amongst botanical parklike grounds. Hard to imagine that a mere ten to fifteen minutes from your front door by water or vehicular ferry finds you in the centre of the action of one of the most desirable resort destinations in Australia. Bushland Driveway A long bushland driveway cuts through to the cleared property, sighting the faithfully restored Queensland homestead to your right and the drive through to a raised roof dramatic plantation entry to the main residence. The unmistakably talented hand of renowned local architect Stephen Kidd is evident, with deliberate angles of the stately residence splaying to appreciate the breathtaking natural wonderland. The design broadens the view over the gardens and across the wide waterfront. In the foreground the beach entry pool is something akin to a five star resort, with a waterfall and slippery slide suspended above a two metre depth. The backdrop of clumping bamboo, flowering hibiscus and sub tropical vegetation creates a profusion of colour. Two Levels Two fully self contained levels of accommodation share an enclosed hydraulic lift, providing easy access to open living spaces and a three vehicle under roof lock up garage. Across the upper level a fabulous viewing balcony wraps around the house, replicating the internal curved wall of the centrepiece kitchen and vestibule entry. Down the gently sloping grassed slopes a deepwater jetty rests along a sandy foreshore of the near fifty metres of absolute waterfrontage. A waffle concrete ramp enables easy boat retrieval. Suspended slab construction denotes a home built to ultimately stand the test of time. It would readily invite the process of change, in order to facilitate extra levels of accommodation and vibrant outdoor entertaining for larger families and corporate groups. Timeless Quality There is a timeless quality to the home, with high pitched ceilings in the casual living areas and recessed lighting highlighting the restful media lounge. A serene master suite under vaulted ceilings has an adjoining ensuite, with spa and balcony viewing points over the lush landscape. There is a choice of five bedrooms and alternate studio spaces spread across each floor, with the lower ground level feeding to an open terrace stepping down to the palm fringed pool. The 12.5 acre estate feels like it has been lifted from the pages of an F Scott Fitzgerald novel, with the one hundred year old early Noosa settlers' home set romantically away through a rainforest walkway. A delectable selection of fruit trees line the automatically irrigated orchard, with raised vegetable gardens flourishing in their above-ground sleeper beds. C Bus Home Two deep bores backed by a filtrated 25,000 litre water tank more than adequately feed the grounds, while at the foot of the main house an underground 50,000 litre tank ensures rainwater supply. State of the art electronics are installed throughout both the homes. All lighting is controlled by C-Bus home automation, with CAT6 high speed data cabling delivering network and internet connections from all main living rooms and bedrooms. In the designated sitting room a home theatre system displaying a 61inch plasma screen allows audio/visual to be fed to other rooms via a Channel Master distribution system. Birdlife The myriad of birdlife and native animals that are happy to frequent the property reads like a who's who of the animal kingdom. Graceful waterbirds stride the lawns, while cockatoos wheel in the tree tops. They share air space with rainbow lorikeets, honey eaters, kites and the distinctive call of the currawong. Kookaburra and kangaroo regularly visit the grounds in a wildlife display having you reaching for the camera. Boaties Seventh Heaven Boaties will be in seventh heaven, while family and guests are sure to drop an occasional crab pot while out catching dinner on the deepwater jetty. If the fish won't co-operate, stash the rods, release the ropes and motor downstream to a selection of world class restaurants. Expressions of Interest welcome from M$5,000,000 plus buyers. A must inspection by appointment only. Exclusive to Arn Smith at Century 21 Property Shoppe, 28 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads. Contact Arn on 0418 712 378 or email at arn@century21noosa.com.
