Ian Macfarlane buys Sunshine Coast apartment
The former Federal Minster Ian Macfarlane has bought an apartment on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
He has paid a savvy $1.25 million for an apartment in the Jedda complex which overlooks Mooloolaba Beach.
The apartment last traded for $1.25 million in 2006 and then was completely refurbished three years ago.
Villa Prestige Property agent Linda Shore-Perez was asking $1.5 million for the apartment that had been on the market for nearly 200 days.
Set on the top floor, the unit has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private rooftop with jacuzzi.
There are views to the Point Cartwright lighthouse and Old Women Island.
The Mount Lofty-based Macfarlane represented the Groom electorate for 18 years before retiring last year, then becoming the chief executive of the Queensland Resources Council.
