If you have an irresistible urge to own a Little Cove landmark family home which embraces Australia's most popular national park, where the emphasis is on privacy and the only intrusions are naturally birdsong, crashing waves in the near distance, short stroll to Little Cove Beach and occasional canoodling koalas, you'll fall in love with a rare heirloom that celebrates craftsmanship, timelessness and is a nod to modern Mexico.
The oohs and aahs begin at the entrance. The statement front door has big bold wrought-iron hinges, there's a timber walkway over the fish pond evoking a sense of karma, and to the left and the right, admire copper wall cladding and the ying and yang of two garages.
Once inside a sense of grandeur pervades, then look beyond the open-plan spaces to the stupendous backdrop of the Noosa National Park, which can be seen from most rooms.
Throughout is a sense of practicality, earthiness, plus a bulwark of prestige, design sensibility and provenance, such as beams which were the original ballasts from war-time Canadian boats collecting grain from Tasmania for America. The timber uprights in the vast lounge/dining/family/media spaces came from the APPM paper mills' wharf, the magnificent fire place is inspired by Spain, the ceilings are lofty with a VJ profile, and the large rectangles of granite flooring express the magnitude of the stone's cut.
The kitchen with every conceivable necessity for the entertainer is the sunny heart of every morning.
On the upper level is a palatial master suite with a massive walk-in robe and storage, a spa bath looking over the bush canopy plus a classy green marble-topped vanity.
The breezeways are very effective thanks to timber louvres and slide-away doors which make a seamless connection to the outside entertaining space and wide U-shaped deck. It looks over the 3m-deep pool.
Two kids' bedrooms with a bright yellow and blue-tiled bathroom and walk-in robe are in a sound-proofed wing and a guest bedroom or studio with double-glazed doors, a bathroom plus a balcony opening to the reserve, is accessed from the other wing.
On the lower level there's also a games room, laundry with a toilet, a pond plus sun deck surrounding the pool.
"This is an exciting chance for an enterprising buyer or investor to secure a well-priced one-of-a-kind residence which will make you the envy of all your friends," says Tom Offermann Real Estate's Eric Seetoo, who's looking for expressions of interest. "The sense of serenity which pervades throughout is enhanced by the quality of natural light also connections with design aesthetics.
"It encapsulates the Little Cove's lifestyle beautifully and the prestigious Noosa Heads location, near the entrance to the Noosa National Park is second-to-none."
It's all about creating vivid memories in an inspiring home".
