Peregian Beachside Villa; Shades of the Mediterranean

If living in a villa under the Tuscan sun by the Mediterranean is imbedded in your romantic psyche, Santa Rosa, seaside of idyllic sub-tropical Peregian Beach and blessed with classic features, is an achievable dream-come-true. And it keeps on giving.

Short of feeling sand between your toes and salt-tinged air, dining on the rooftop, with the ambient sound of waves, whilst admiring moon beams and twinkling lights dance across the Coral Sea, from Sunshine Beach headland to Mooloolaba and Point Cartwright, is undeniably 5-star.

By day, the massive rooftop terrace is the continuation of an enviable lifestyle for the fortunate. Drink-in the wrap-around 360°panorama from white-capped waves rolling onto Peregian Beach, to the hinterland and beyond, also watch whales in season. Resume the sun worshipper's lounging pose after playing with the kids in the pool on the ground level. Maybe select a special tipple from the 750-plus bottles in the climate-controlled cellar in the basement, to accompany a barbeque lunch or an amazing sunset. Ahh, so easy to get lost in the every-day-is-a-holiday moment.

It is one minute from the beach to the dress-circle address with its moniker of Santa Rosa and it suits the Mediterranean villa design tag to a tee. Proudly free-standing and tall with sand coloured -washed walls and arches, blue trims mimic the colour of the ocean. Ushered inside from the front patio, there is a contemporary beach house aesthetic, with honey-hued Tasmanian oak floors and a neutral palette throughout the main living and dining spaces, also the galley-style kitchen with its granite-topped island and benches.

From the living area, a covered long balcony with archways, looks out to the pool and once again has those beach and sea views, while a rear door off the kitchen opens into a completely walled, very private garden with a lawn area fringed by frangipani, loved by pets and children equally.

The curved wall staircase takes slumber to a next level. The gentle sound of waves is nature's alarm clock in the king master suite, with covered balcony, of course those views, a walk-in robe also an ensuite with travertine flooring and double granite-topped vanity.

Two additional bedrooms, one with a Juliet balcony, share a family-size bathroom.

"The Santa Rosa villa is calibrated to climate, environment, outdoors and nature," comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Michael McComas and Tracy Russell, who are taking the property to auction on Saturday 6 February 2021 at 11am.

"Adding to its easy-breezy nature is its proximity to the patrolled beach diverse local offerings such as the Peregian Beach Surf Club, and the Peregian Beach Village, with on-trend boutiques, a patisserie, artisan baker also cafes and restaurants, where you can even take your four-footer for a puppuccino.

"What a sagacious investment opportunity, especially given the quiet yet very popular location near dedicated coastal walking tracks and of course whichever way you turn, there are those magical ocean, coastal and hinterland views."
