Take the Plunge, Noosa's Best Kept Secret, Waterfront Hideaway Island

Nostalgia often comes with a pair of rose-tinted glasses but not-so for a well-loved beauty from the 80s, on a wider-than-most, deep waterfrontage with a tidal beach on Hideaway Island, close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, which oozes sophisticated personality and provenance.  

Take the plunge. Bring a boat or two, big appetite and thirst, if you aspire to living life in the sub-tropics beyond all expectations, on a tranquil, deep sapphire-blue and expansive reach of a pristine Noosa River waterway - a remarkable backdrop.

As the gates slide away, admire the lush streetscape and neighbouring contemporary residences including many razed and under construction, bearing the names of well-known architects and designers.

Engage with the exterior's structural simplicity based on the era's architectural form and admire how the continuity continues inside. In the carpeted open-plan living room which is the length of the residence on the western side, and has double height-plus ceilings with Brushbox beams, a wood-burning fireplace takes centre-stage of the distinctive exposed clinker brick wall.

Adjacent to the living area, is the slate-floored dining space. Both being north-westerly facing are saturated with natural light and coalesce with the undercover entertaining terrace.

Outside pays homage to the location and environment with lawn stretching to the revetment wall. To the left is a boat ramp and the jetty is a favourite spot to cast a line for tailor and flathead, launch the canoe and stand-up paddle board, or up-anchor the boat and take it for more serious fishing in the open stretches of the Noosa River towards The Everglades or through the bar out to Sunshine Reef and reel in Red Emperor and Coral Trout.

It is obvious the prodigious rectangular-shaped kitchen with sandy hued-topped timber cabinetry including a semi-island/breakfast bar and long bench to ceiling windows, has all the latest high-end appliances desired by the consummate entertainer.

There are four bedrooms. Upstairs, the master with water views, has an adjoining bedroom. There are two walk-in robes and the contemporary ensuite with grey/white marble-look tiles has a bathtub. Downstairs one bedroom, more a retreat is double sized and has two built-in robes, the other also has a built-in robe and both share a bathroom which is adjacent to the laundry.

"With so many naturally beautiful assets, waves peeling off the point at Noosa National Park, and autumn temperatures of 25-degrees,"enthuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Jesse Stowers , "plus the north-facing protected Noosa Main Beach, Quamby Place, Gympie Terrace and Hastings Street, and a plethora of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques all so close, the magnetism of the area is indisputable.

"That includes 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."
