The wet-edge pool at 32-36 The Anchorage, Noosa Waters, is rather inviting.

The property known as ‘Hayven’ was owned by the late businessman, Donald Hay, who died from melanoma last year aged 76.

Mr Hay founded the company, Hayco, 35 years ago and built it into one of the world’s biggest brush makers — now shipping 200 million items a year to more than 60 countries.

Reed & Co. Estate Agents principal Adrian Reed, who negotiated the sale, said the property was “a timeless masterpiece”.

“It is one of the most extraordinary homes to be built in Queensland, where attention has been given to every detail and decision,” Mr Reed said.

Mr Reed declined to reveal the buyer or exact sale price, but said the property had attracted interest from New York and London.

The house can sleep up to 32 guests and features onsite caretaker quarters, a maid’s quarters, a 25-metre pool, a championship tennis court, a nightclub, a media room, a gym, a steam room, a four-car garage and a guest wing with eight bedrooms.

The sale of this property sets a new record for Noosaville.

A separate family wing of the home includes the master suite with his and her bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes, plus bedrooms for the children.

The house was designed by architect Shane Thompson and built in 2002 on a huge, 2976 sqm block.
