13 Arkana Drive, Noosa Heads – Features in a snapshot: 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, powder room, pool and double garage and great outlook.

A thick grove of advanced clumping palm, lilly pilly and tuckeroo provide privacy to the discreet entry of this well positioned hillside property. The all weather exposed aggregate driveway has hardstand area for a boat or trailer, while an automatic cedar door lifts to a double garage with an adjoining lock up storeroom.

The soft grey of powder coated aluminium slats secure a breezeway pedestrian approach and banks of louvres frame a large glass main door. The home has a wonderful wash of light, with floor to raked ceiling glass panels drawing light and accenting the connection to lushly planted courtyard gardens. The rich patina of timber floors run right across the upper level and a white on white colour treatment is the perfect backdrop for magnificent river, mountain and coastal views along the coastline north to Double Island Point, distinctive mountain landmarks rising from a fertile hinterland and protected water ways of the Noosa River.

The focal point of the home is a large centrally placed kitchen that feels somewhat like being on the bridge deck of an ocean liner. Stone benches square to the views, bi-fold windows form an easy connection to the full width verandah and twin arms encourage casual dining in company of a sensational outlook. A full width roof hovers above the verandah and manually operated blinds edge al fresco dining. A Poinciana tree canopies to the views and a wall of dense plantings line the waters of a freeform concrete pool with broad step entry. Timber stairs alongside a powder room drop to the lower level where one wing houses three bedrooms and a bathroom with stand alone bath. There is a casual cupboard lined living room separating a main bedroom with walk through wardrobe and nicely styled floor to ceiling tile ensuite. There is direct access to New Guinea Rosewood decks above the pool. Pathways connect the grounds under towering palms and tropically planted corridors.

Features: 607 square metre allotment, ocean river and mountain outlook, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, stone benches, polished timber floors, merbau timber decks, tropical gardens, powder room, pool, security breezeway entry, tandem hardstand, lock up storeroom, secure views.
