Designed by award-winning Noosa architect, Gabriel Poole, this elevated home, dubbed “Bluepoles”, was completed 20 years ago and has timeless appeal, presenting as new today.
Bluepoles is one of very few ‘Quadropod’ homes built in Sunshine Beach. The Quadropod system uses innovative pole construction and is perfectly designed to deal with sloping or ecologically sensitive sites found in the Northern dunes of the area. It leaves a minimal footprint on the land.
Noosa Council was so impressed with the design upon completion it was awarded a highly commended at their Excellence in Design Awards in 1994.
Stretching across one of the suburb’s largest allotments, of 799sqm, the main home is akin to a tree house, suspended in the treetops above its neighbours, sprawling across two elevated pavilions and capturing ocean vistas from many vantage points.
Myriad doors and windows open the house completely to take advantage of the natural cross ventilation. Caesarstone benchtops, two-pac cabinets and ample storage, including an appliance cupboard are on offer in the kitchen. Entertainers will fall in love with the Ilve five-burner gas cooktop and oven, Miele dishwasher and servery to the front deck.
The master retreat has its own ensuite with bath and shower, heated floor, and opens up to the private deck.Adding to the fun appeal, access to the second pavilion is via a beachy breezeway bridge with timber hatches opening for light and airflow, promoting an indoor/outdoor feel.
Ten years after completion, “The West Wing” was added. Also designed by Poole, it is an ideal guest suite, office, or studio, with a lounge and kitchenette, main bedroom and luxuriously appointed ensuite with a sunken spa. The suite overlooks the rear wooded parkland and across to the timber boardwalk beach access.
A timber pathway leads from Bluepoles to the West Wing, where kids can play on the swing, or wander through the garden to find an array of plants, even bamboo.
Impeccably maintained, this home is modern and funky, yet unmistakably timeless, and the ideal place to create fond childhood memories.
Walk 100m to the Noosa National Park access and a track to the secluded Alexandra Bay, or take the stairs to the northern, dog-friendly beach at Lion’s Head. Alternatively use the rear boardwalk to the beach via Seaview Creek. Sunshine Beach village is about a 10-minute walk away via the beach.
