Do you have an enduring love for living near Noosa Main Beach in a safe, secure, and stunningly beautiful sanctuary? How about a designer residence surrounded by pool terraces, courtyards, pebble pathways, water features and landscaped gardens, which on the north-side seemingly stretch beyond the boundary to a water lily-dotted lake and the 17th fairway. Sounds like a double eagle? Almost.

Paradise, coupled with the unparalleled lifestyle and a world-renowned 18-hole golf course almost in your garden, is yours at The Ridge, which is part of Noosa Springs, a very smart gated estate, with inspired architecture a nod to the Mediterranean.

A restrained palette of natural colours and materials create an understated deliberate mood in every over-generous space. None so obvious as the open-plan dining and casual living areas with majestic almost sky-high ceilings. Thanks to ‘disappearing’ glass sliders there’s an immediate connection from indoors to out where terraces stretch almost the width of the house, around and beside the dazzling pool with waterfall feature wall. Meandering beautiful gardens, dotted with orchids, magnolias and frangipanis, enjoy a northerly aspect and meld in an almost terrace-like fashion to the boundary.

The terraces add to the residence’s myriad entertaining options, and the immense kitchen with stone benchtops and island bench, has all the bells and whistles needed to make every small or large occasion eventful.

Another big winner is the master retreat. It has a fashionista-style walk-in robe, ensuite with spa bath where it’s easy to ‘bubble’ away whilst looking out to the garden, also sliders out to main terrace.

This unusually large 1105m2 site is surrounded by community-spirited residents who appreciate 24-hour security, prefer privacy, peace and tranquility except for birdsong, and this slightly faded beauty with great bones is looking for someone with a penchant for a little make-over.

“Those who love golf will appreciate hole-17, that’s the one in ‘your’ back garden and is a par-4,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Julie Bengtsson and Cameron Urquhart, adding “It’s water, water, everywhere.

“The residence is easy proximity to the Noosa Springs Golf & Spa clubhouse complex. The Graham Papworth-designed 5-star championship course, has pockets of rainforest, is surrounded by Lake Weyba, spring-fed lakes of Noosa Springs as well as the Noosa National Park with its abundance of flora and fauna, including koalas and kangaroos.”
