Elusive joy is the domain of the fortunate when the address is so close to the Noosa River and is surrounded by exceptional natural beauty. It borders the north-facing Chaplin Park and river foreshore, as well as the waterway to the East with its walkers-only bridge to the neighbouring Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, and a nationally known restaurant. This is undoubtedly a one-in-a-million, off-the-plan windfall for a clever investor with the absolute stellar ground floor residence, part of the aptly called River Houses, and an imaginative and inspired nod to serious luxury and exhilarating lifestyle. Artfully designed by Sparks Architects it indulges a definitive floorplan with passive environmental principles, and a cool fresh aesthetic to mimic outdoors. Thanks to 'disappearing' doors, open plan living with oak flooring, is evocative of sandy feet and salty breezes. It coalesces naturally with extensive sun-drenched alfresco terraces, pearlescent pool and hot tub set amongst tropical gardens. Nearby the gate opens directly to the park and river foreshore. Edgy design functionality continues in the custom kitchen with stone-topped timber cabinetry plus latest appliances, integrated where possible. There are three bedrooms. The premier has views of the park and river, also an ensuite which like the bathroom has stone-topped custom cabinetry. The laundry has access to a drying court. An engineering masterstroke and arguably a first for the area is a secure subterranean garage with two allocated secure carparks, private storeroom, gym, infrared sauna, bathroom, and private lift access to the residence. "Apart from a gate into the park and Noosa River, the prestige location has so many other attributes," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jesse Stowers. "Across the bridge on the east side, the dedicated pathway, popular for dog walkers continues, running parallel to the main section of the Noosa River foreshore. It is dotted with Noosa Ferry stops, hire-boat, leisure craft and coffee stops, also Gympie Terrace, with its plethora of vibrant cafes, restaurants, bars, and boutiques. "Esteemed private and public schools are nearby, plus transport options, the Noosa Village retail precinct, Noosa Library, and the Leisure Centre." The expected completion date for River Houses is early 2026. 10% deposit to secure with remainder payable upon completion.
