Home is where the heart is

SUBSTANTIAL single-storey Doonan home with swimming pool and media room will surprise, delight and accommodate every member of the family.

BEAUTIFULLY equipped with casual poolside entertaining areas, fireside lounging, secluded media room and private bedroom suites, this substantial single-storey hinterland residence will surprise, delight and accommodate every member of the family with consummate ease.

Barely seven kilometres from the waterfront esplanade skirting the Noosa River and a similar distance to the bustling market town of Eumundi, a driveway passes over a causeway off Duke Road and gently rises across the park-like acreage.

Take the sweeping curve of the concrete driveway past a mighty grove of lofty palm and several guest parking bays to arrive at a grand portico befitting the scale and quality of this expansive family residence.

A covered walkway approaches through night-lit garden to double timber doors in the main entry. Travertine floors and neutral colour scheme provide a constant theme across two bedroom wings and main body of the house.

In the central lounge a fireplace lends romance to a winter evening and a wall of fixed glass frames a pretty reflection pond above the pool, lush palm backdrop, peaked roof gazebo and floating roof timber deck.

Commercial grade doors and windows span the width and depth of the home and travertine skirts walls throughout the house.

The large island bench kitchen in the mighty family room captures a wonderful country feel with double enamel sinks, Smeg six burner gas hob, Bosch dishwasher, pale timber cabinets, quality appliances and a generous walk-in pantry alongside a gleaming wood combustion oven. Vaulted lime-washed timber ceilings soar overhead and a favoured north-east aspect floods living rooms in natural light.

The home ideally divides from the open foyer, with a deep-wing housing four bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom, a family-sized linen closet, one of two powder rooms and a secluded media room.

A glass-lined gallery connects a fantastic main bedroom suite in the north wing. It's a feast for the senses, with a big walk in robe,ensuite with open shower wrapped in floor-to-ceiling travertine, deep bath, a slab of rich marble dressing one wall and handy access to the pool for a moonlit swim.

There are well-established, bore-fed orchards of macadamia, lychee, mango and citrus dotting the grounds, a steel-frame greenhouse and high span four-bay shed large enough for machinery and recreational vehicles.

The natural beauty of the Noosa hinterland, welcoming nature of the home, outstanding level of accommodation and close proximity to the all the attractions of Noosa stamp coastal lifestyle right across this fine property.
