RENOWNED building designer Paul Clout has sold his jawdropping beachfront Sunshine Coast home for $10 million — the latest in a string of big sales in Noosa’s red hot property market.
The three-level house at 2/56 David Low Way, Sunrise Beach, is in the exclusive Beaches estate and offers direct beachfront access from a private gate and ocean views from almost every room.
The sale was negotiated by Cameron Urquhart Tom Offermann Real Estate, who said properties in the gated estate rarely came up for sale because they were so tightly held.
“There are only eight properties and discerning purchasers are seeking ultra-luxury right on the beach, such as this 2018 HIA Sunshine Coast House of the Year,” Mr Urquhart said.
The house was designed by Paul Clout for himself and his family to live in and has three large bedrooms, four bathrooms, plus an office.
The home has multiple living areas covered in American oak floors and a statement Statuary marble feature wall with a huge integrated fireplace.
Sliding doors open out to the terraces around the wet-edge pool, spa, conversation pit and alfresco.
The kitchen features an island bench and a butler’s pantry in Statuary marble, 2-pac cabinetry with American oak doors and panels, and integrated appliances.
The master suite has a terrace and an open ensuite with a free-standing, oval bath tub, double shower and walk-in wardrobe.
The other bedrooms also have open bathrooms with baths and kitchenettes.
There’s even a rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views from Lions Head in the Noosa National Park to Mooloolaba and beyond.
The home has been fitted with the latest home technology, custom-built features and high-end finishes.
Tom Offermann Real Estate principal Tom Offermann said the property sold to an interstate buyer after attracting interest from overseas expats and multiple virtual tours.
“As you would expect with a designer’s own home, it integrates perfectly with the seascape and the elements,” Mr Offermann said.
“It’s a house that flows beautifully … without being too big and having too many bedrooms which are never used.”
Mr Offermann said he believed the effects of COVID would last many years, in terms of the change to people’s thinking about how they invest their money.
“Some people who’ve been really successful are now saying; ‘Damn, I’m just going to spend it on myself, while others are saying; ‘I don’t want to live in a big city anymore’, or ‘I won’t be going overseas so I’ll invest in a holiday home,” he said.
“A lot of decisions are being driven towards investing in locations like Noosa.”
