Noosa’s best kept secret, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity on a never to be repeated parcel of land that is just a 5 minute drive to Main Beach/Hastings Street, 3 minutes to Noosa Village shopping and riverfront restaurants, 1 minute to Aldi and cafes, and a delightful leisurely Sunday stroll to the Noosa Farmers’ Market.

This is not in the hinterland, but the very heart of Noosa itself.

In the tightly held precinct of Weyba Creek in the heart of Noosaville, sits a private and tranquil sanctuary of 5 acres, the last of the original Pratt family holdings.

The land has only changed hands twice since its subdivision from the historic Monks family agricultural selection-grant acquired by George Monks in the 1880s.

Purchased in the 1920s for his youngest sister, Edith Annie Burger (nee Pratt) by Frederick Samuel Pratt (of Gympie, who had held the adjoining three 5 acre lots, the property has been enjoyed as a home and holiday destination by generations of the Pratt-Burger family since.

Transferred to Edith’s daughter, Beulah Stanfield (nee Burger), and on her passing to her son, the home is reluctantly on the market today so that another family might create its own Noosa legacy.

With 91.4 metres fronting the esplanade to Weyba Creek, and backed by national park, the property has access via two streets. There is a private airport located nearby into which one can fly a small plane, enabling quiet entry and exit of Noosa away from the madding crowd. The perfect fly-in-fly-out celebrity retreat!

Dotted with massive trees, a small orchard and thickets of native flora, the land is abundant with wildlife and a haven for bird watching. A seasonal creek runs along one border and the back fifth of the land which abuts the national park is designated conservation land.

Throw a kayak in the water across the road to paddle to the river or lake, take a boat out to fish for dinner, or dine out at any one of a number of riverfront restaurants, by boat.

The original pioneer-style timber cottage built of rough timber boards on stumps for Edith Burger circa 1948 and in which she lived until her passing in 1964 remains, and was lived in by her daughter until the main house was built in 1980. With some elbow grease, it could make a lovely artist studio or rustic self-contained guest accommodation.

Nestled in amongst a lovingly planted native garden that provides shade and privacy at the front of the land, is the brick and tile family home built on Cyprus framework the bones of something bigger and better, or the housepad for an entirely new build.

A large living room from the existing house enjoys water views and northerly aspect, as does the large master bedroom with ensuite. Two other bedrooms, combined kitchen dining, main bath and laundry, breezeway and double lock up garage complete the home.

Renovate and go up for spectacular views to the pristine Lake Weyba and Noosa Heads, or start from scratch for the home of your dreams to create a remarkable private estate on rare near watefront acreage in the heart of Noosa.
