Castaways Beach Retreat for Fun Family Living

When it comes to wonderful surprises it is not only about the surf breaks at dog friendly Castaways Beach and the 5-minute walk to toes-in-the-sand but knowing the residence at Antipodes, was built to suit the idyllic sub-tropical climate as well the site, arguably the largest in the area. The contemporary beach house aesthetic begins at the front door with a cool white tiled hallway opening into a sun-drenched generous living and dining space offering functionality and versatility. Look further and note how there is a seemingly transparent connection to an undercover alfresco terrace and beyond to the decks and lawn around the shimmering pool, attracting sun worshippers.

Framing the western wall are floor-to ceiling plantation shutters which control light, temperature, ambiance, and in no way detract from the magic views of the surrounding dunes and Noosa National Park. The shutters are also a backdrop to the heart of the house, a large galley-style kitchen with white stone-topped island bench/breakfast bar, pantry and latest appliances including an induction cooktop. Behind the kitchen and accessible by everyone including from the garden, is a bathroom and laundry, plus an outdoor shower caters for those returning from the beach.

Just off the kitchen in the shade of a wide-arboured Poinciana tree is a deck, a romantic option for the sundowner-set. Several stairs into the significant garden reveal more surprises, with flat manicured lawns for pets or playing cricket, gardens filled with palms, bromeliads, and kangaroo paw, and in a shady corner is yet another entertaining option, a pergola with a barbeque set-up.

Upstairs offers more of those wonderful views of the environs and garden from a big balcony off the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe. It extends along the western-side and is also accessed by a lounge and double bedroom. A queen-size bedroom has a balcony orientated to the north, another is currently used as a twin, all three have built-in robes and share a family-size bathroom.

This residence keeps on giving. It is relaxed, beachy, timeless in design and chic without being pretentious. Whether keen entertainers, beach lovers and family focused, the multiple living areas, both indoors and out, facilitate a plethora of gathering spots. "A warm amenable climate and a town brimful with natural assets turns Holiday makers to property buyers," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart, "and it is not going to stop. With an idyllic sub-tropical climate, it affords the convenience of living in the hub with everything wonderful to eat, see, and do, safe in the knowledge that their investment is underpinned by a never-ending pool of future buyers also wanting the same."
