The desire to construct a significant residence on private acreage in close proximity to the coast and the capacity to build to an exacting standard without compromise has proved a winning combination for this extraordinary coastal property.
The internationally based owner acquired the site, engaged prominent Queensland architect Richard Kirk and master builder Jason Nielsen, then set about creating a home that would not be out of place anywhere in the world. The incredible thing about this property is just how close you are to the holiday playground of Noosa Heads. Rather than shout at the landscape, the linear shape of support walls and metal cladding are robust partners to rich timbers hand laid and copper nailed to perfection.
This is no ordinary home, more a gallery of light and form where honey blonde timbers and glass engage with the tactile nature of travertine underfoot. It is completely and utterly captivating as a solid timber doors pivots and you are drawn under wondrously high ceilings and walls of glass saluting a northern aspect across open fields and old growth forest.
Function and form are graceful partners as the residence radiates across vast living zones Designed to accommodate family and guests in separate wings, a magnificent main bedroom suite sits atop a study and reflection pond, with the choice of a self contained media room operating as a fourth bedroom. The structure holds a sense of place in the amazing landscape as massive timber framed sliding doors link open terraces and the runway shape of a fifteen metre infinity lap pool views.
Beautifully detailed bathrooms and kitchens exude a subtle sophistication; reminding you nothing has been overlooked or shortchanged in this completely one off residence. Set in some seventy acres of open pasture, park like grounds and tall timber forests, nature is on show. Kangaroo and deer pass through the grounds and birdlife provides a soothing soundtrack to one of the finest homes ever constructed in the Noosa Shire.
