How’s the serenity? The ebb and flow of the Noosa River is the soothing backdrop for this idyllic retreat, which melds its stylish aesthetic with an invitation to discover life’s simple and sophisticated pleasures. Tucked away in exclusive Noosa Heads, the property’s prestige location offers an intoxicating callout to the senses, where everything begins – and ends – with an incredible waterfront panorama. It’s a rare luxury and an inviting lifestyle that is sought by many and enjoyed by few.

With a design geared around its riverfront access, expansive banks of windows allow sunlight to serve as the property’s alarm clock, announcing the arrival of each new day. With it comes myriad possibilities for adventure, observation, conservation or contemplation. It’s about doing as much, or as little, as you like.

For those who hanker for life’s simplest pursuits, the property’s expansive jetty is the perfect spot to throw in a line as you look to craft the tale of the one that didn’t get away.

You could also pick up a paddle and head out to kayak with Mother Nature, glide through the still waters of the home’s wet-edge pool or simply relax on the north-facing desk, champagne in hand and everyday concerns banished. Or, wander further afield to discover exactly why Noosa is such a cherished slice of paradise.

Cosmopolitan Hastings St lies just minutes away, bustling with a fabulous array of fashion, fun and fine dining. Beyond that, and with no real introduction needed, the dazzling white sands and crystal clear waters of Main Beach give a panorama no photo could replicate and a soundtrack filled with the laughter, joy and friendship of beachgoers young and old.

It’s an iconic experience to tick off the bucket list, as are wonderful natural attractions such as nearby Noosa National Park. Then, when the lure of the river calls you home, you can reflect on a lifetime of wonderful memories, with the chance to make some more tomorrow.

Design wise, this luxurious property is a true entertainer’s delight, with an interior that’s as enticing and elegant as its outdoor perspective. The discreet entrance to the home opens through to a beautiful palazzo, with high ceilings adding to the space and grandeur. It’s a fitting introduction to the classical and understated style, which makes use of natural textures and a calming palette to let family life – and fabulous surrounds – take centre stage.

A variety of living spaces cater both to celebrations and the desire for quieter moments, while an upstairs balcony serves as a private retreat for parents, a place to retire as that fabulous river below slowly wends its way past. As American anthropologist, Loren Eiseley once posited: “If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.” When it comes to this property, truer words were never spoken.
