Live Love Life: Bring Boat & Sunny Appetite; Waterfront Hideaway Island

Cossetted in the exclusive enclave of Hideaway Island, minutes from sophisticated Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, is a beacon of formidable quality and avantgarde modernist design.

This is next level waterside living, a total immersion from intimate areas of reprieve to a seamless coalescence with outdoors and an expansive terrace which runs the width of the residence.

Dazzling on the left is the luminescent wet edge pool and shimmering water feature wall; on the right is a spa and barbeque; and the magical backdrop is a row of melaleucas with a willow-like leafy curtain acting as a sunscreen, also catching the cool breezes.

Enjoy splashing around in the shallows or launch a canoe, stand-up paddle board and kayak. The jetty is the perfect spot to reel in tailor and whiting and why not up-anchor the boat for more serious fishing in the open stretches of the nearby Noosa River or out at nearby Sunshine Reef. It is also close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach by boat, or why not take a stroll to the cafes and restaurants in Quamby Place.

Indoors, evoking a sensory connection and an impressive outward aspect, is a sequence of stinting spaces from prodigious living and dining to media and leisure, some with clerestory height ceilings and numerous statement ball pendants, also disappearing walls of mainly glass, thus morphing from one to another.

Bright natural light invites itself in, to shadow-dance across the endless pastel grey marble flooring, while lovers of art will appreciate the potential for enjoying the gallery-style spaces.

With numerous options for entertaining aka living the good life, it's obvious Gull Design had the menu sorted. The L-shaped kitchen, similarly the walk-in pantry, has grey-stone topped cabinetry including the massive island/breakfast bar, lengthy preparation bench and custom bar. Multiple latest appliances include fridges from LG and Vintec, also AEG induction cooktop and two ovens. Naturally the heaps of well-thought-out storage will be desired by the consummate cook, who might also be inspired by those tasty views.

When it comes to dreamtime, this is next level of bliss with five king bedrooms with marble ensuites. Top of class goes to the two, yes two premier suite retreats on both levels with access to the west terrace, free-standing baths to drink in the views of pool and waterway, also fashionista-style walk-in robes.

On the upper level in the south wing are two bedrooms/ensuites plus robes; on the ground level is one bedroom/ensuite and robe; and a powder room is nearby.

"Take the plunge; this is investment gold," comment Tom Offerman Real Estate marketing agents Nic Hunter and Jesse Stowers. "It distils contemporary functionality and personality in spades, and what a privileged location with nothing but sand and water out the front. It really is tops.

"With so many naturally beautiful assets, waves peeling off the point at Noosa National Park, and Spring temperatures of 28-degrees, the north-facing protected Noosa Main Beach, also Quamby Place, Gympie Terrace, Hastings Street, and a plethora of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques all so close, the magnetism is indisputable.

"That includes exclusive Hideaway Island. When you arrive for the first time at the location on the water's edge, you instantly appreciate the name. It is precisely the natural beauty of the environs which will continue to underpin and grow property values."
