Castaways Beach home that is definitely one of a kind.
Designed as a split-level house with clearly defined zones, the double front door opens to a small lobby that gives access to a largely open plan lounge area with cathedral ceilings, floor to ceiling glass panels that frame evergreen national park and sky blue views on sunny days, starry skies and moonlight at night.
Several steps separate but connect this living zone to the dining area that opens onto a poolside Juliette balcony.
With direct access to the sheltered decks on the north and southern side of the building the open plan kitchen, informal dining and family room is truly the hub of the home.
The pool and poolside decks were designed to enjoy the northern aspect. Perfectly positioned for privacy from the street and sheltered from adverse weather conditions, owners and guests are able to enjoy the wonderful Noosa climate to the max.
It's easy to see why the home is a popular holiday-let property.
Partaking of poolside BBQ lunches and afternoon cocktails, intimate candle-lit dinners under the stars, the sound of the surf on the sea breezes and the solar heated pool always at the right temperature for year-round swimming.
It's well located just a few hundred metres from the surf and kilometres of pet-friendly, off-leash beach. A nearby underpass means there are no busy roads to cross to get to the beach.
And it's only a few minutes' drive to the surf club, boutiques and restaurants of Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach and Noosa Junction Shopping Centre.
What does the owner like most about the property?

3. Environment: Quiet, relaxed retreat from a hectic lifestyle. The beach around the corner, local restaurants and cafes a short drive.
4. Decks: With multiple decks, you can have sunshine shade- whatever you want.
5. Aspect: N-NW aspect means the weather is gorgeous summer and winter
6. Pool: Loves the pool. It's heated, private and sheltered so you can swim year-round.
7. Passive design: The adroit blend of passive design principals: cross ventilation, high ceilings, expansive window wall of glass.
8. Doors open onto decks on either side of the home enabling the sea breezes to fan through the rooms. Together with the maximum filter film on the floor to ceiling glass
wall they combine to moderate internal temperatures all year-round.
9. Master bedroom opening onto the deck and views over the pool.
10. For guests, the convenience of air-conditioning in the main bedroom and living room, fans in all other bedrooms.
