10 Arakoon Crescent, Sunshine Beach

Much like a present being unwrapped, the full beauty of this home’s oceanfront location only becomes clear once you’re through the front door. Nestled in Sunshine Beach, the three-bedroom, six-guest property hints to its contemporary appeal with a garage coloured in shades inspired by Mother Nature. They preview a design that is anything but ordinary, oriented towards a panorama of sun, surf and sand from every room.

Stretching across two levels, the home makes thoughtful use of natural amenity, with expanses of glass drawing in natural light. Flexibility lies front and centre, with the three living areas including one designed specifically for children and accessing the pool/backyard area.

With a focus on open-plan movement, interior spaces flow seamlessly outdoors, with highlights including a dining space in the middle of the property with shutters that can let in fresh air or close out winds without impacting the views. Outside, a shower and bath near the pool – which can be heated – overlook the ocean, in the stuff of Instagram dreams.

The soft squish of sand and a patrolled beach are just a short walk away, as are attractions including Noosa National Park, the surf club and boutique retail and restaurants. Lowkey and luxurious, it’s a slice of paradise that focuses on relaxation but with the energy of areas like Hastings Street just a short drive away. All you have to do to get there is drag yourself away from that view. Only if you can…
