The Riverhouse - Island-Style Living on Noosa North Shore's Waterfront

Boldly staking its claim a few minutes from the ferry stop on the breathtaking upper echelon of the Noosa North Shore, revel in a long driveway wreathed by verdant botanical-like gardens with bird-attracting natives.

Taking the prized sunny perch centre-stage of the substantial site, is The Riverhouse, a brilliant-white plantation-inspired striking residence, wrapped by wide verandahs, plus an almost 55-metre waterfrontage with a jetty and boat ramp.

Come inside. Upstairs with high raked ceilings, is filled with vignettes of the Noosa River and beyond or leafy outlooks of the dramatic Noosa National Park, from every room, while natural light shadow dances across the expansive French oak flooring in the open plan living and dining spaces.

Picture windows and disappearing doors to the verandahs, frame different perspectives of the ever-shifting spectacle, which, paradoxically perhaps, is both calming and energising at once.

Entertaining options are numerous. Abundant functional and playful indoors melds seamlessly into outdoors where options include undercover choices, which on the easterly side extends to a massive sun deck. On the northerly side and down a couple of stairs, the terrace surrounding the gleaming pool on two sides is a magnet for sun worshippers or shady umbrella seekers after a few energising laps.

In keeping with everything being oversized, it is a similar story in the brand new custom designed kitchen and butler's pantry with mottled grey stone-topped timber cabinetry including the island bench/breakfast bar. Neff appliances are the latest and there is sufficient storage and space for any culinary superstar.

When it comes to dream time bliss the king master suite is a 5-star retreat. Note the monochromatic palette and sumptuous lounge room, similarly the walk-in robe and ensuite with grey stone-topped timber cabinetry and access to the verandah. Three queen-size bedrooms nearby have built-in robes and share a bathroom, with a powder room adjoining.

Downstairs near the pool and play area with lawn, is a mega under-house hangout zone, media room, bathroom, laundry, and extensive storage adjacent to the garage.

The natural flora-filled park-like garden at the rear, is filled with bird-attracting native shrubs, palms, statuesque gum trees, and is often visited by fauna such as kangaroos.

"What a pristine, peaceful, private and undeniably beautiful waterfrontage," enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter. "Take the boat to the Noosa River mouth or to the Everglades at sunrise; reel in whiting and tailor from the deep-water jetty; discover stunning local beaches nearby with top-notch fishing and surfing.

"Remember it is only 5-minutes by boat across the river to Noosaville's café central on Gympie Terrace; 15-minutes by boat to Noosa Main Beach; 15 minutes by car to Noosa Main Beach and sophisticated Hastings Street; and a little further on is world-class Noosa National Park, beaches and surf breaks.

"The world really is your oyster, and this is a classy gem with a deep waterfrontage, in a slice of paradise on the Noosa North Shore. It is without peer."
