A triple storey penthouse with stunning views over Noosa Main Beach sold for a cracking price after going to auction for first time since it was built 34 years ago.

The triple storey penthouse has breathtaking views.

The owners bought the home off the plan 34 years ago.

An iconic location for a stunning home.

Multiple bidders registered for the auction which saw bidding open at $8m and then progress right through to $12.51m which is where it sold under the hammer to loud applause and popping of champagne.

Ms Offermann said ‘it is the third auction sale in the rarefied $10m-plus sector that we’ve had the privilege to handle in the past two weeks, totalling $42.5m with the sales of 38 Seaview Tce at $13.1m and 3 Allambi Rise at $16.9m.”

A chic coastal feel throughout the home.

The home has wide views across some of the most visited parts of Noosa.

The new owners were from Victoria, making all nine in the building now owned by Victorian families.

“We joked afterwards that they could now hold their body corporate meetings in Melbourne,” Ms Offermann said.

The sale was the closing of a circle for Mr Offermann who had sold the owners the stunning home overlooking Main Beach 34 years ago.

“It was an absolute joy for Rebekah and I to represent the owners as I had helped them purchase it over 30 years ago. They purchased it new, off the plan.”

The home is backed by greenery with views of the ocean out front.

The home had enquiries from 150 prospective buyers.

“Their love affair with Noosa will not come to a close as they have purchased locally,” he said.

Mr Offermann described the penthouse as being of a calibre that rarely comes to market with “innumerable memories made by the first owners over the years.”

“No doubt the baton will pass to the happiest family in the world to enjoy it sparkling new, as they did. Hastings Park’s history of back-to-back, year-round premium bookings, makes this a judicious one-off investment opportunity.”

Beautiful part of the world to wake up to.

Each of the nine owners in the property are from Victoria now.

Ms Offermann said “we’ve actually handled all of the last 15 $10m-plus sales, so I’m sure our long term commitment to building quality connections is really paying off for our clients.”

The stunning home at 9/81 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads, is 363sq m spread over three levels, including a rooftop deck with clear views over Main Beach, Hastings Park and the hub of Noosa activity.
