Sunshine Beach

<html><body>
The stockpicker veteran Geoff Wilson has bought a holiday home in the Sunshine Beach.

The Double Bay-based founder and executive chairman of the ASX-listed Wilson Asset Management has spent $6.5 million on one of the best street’s on Sunshine Beach.

It’s the same street Therese Rein spent a record $17 million on the home tennis legend Pat Rafter built. Karl Stefanovic spent $3.6 million on the street earlier this year, with nine sales on the street in 2020 ranging between $2.05 million and the big $17 million sale.

The home Wilson bought hadn’t traded for three decades, having last sold for $525,000 in 1990.

Set on 550 sqm, the absolute beachfront, with direct access to the sand, was described as Mediterranean in its marketing, with its plantation shutters, terracotta tiles, colonnaded entrance and slab hut gates.

The two level property has five bedrooms, including a master suite with a private balcony and an open-concept ensuite with a spa bath.

Century 21 Conolly Hay Group agents Mike Hay and Rachel Sellman secured the sale. It was listed for rent pre-Christmas at $3,200 a week, which would see Wilson net a 2.5 per cent yield.

Wilson is based in a Double Bay trophy bought for $10 million by his wife Karen Greer in 2010. He also owns a farm in Berrima.

A Sunshine Beach, Noosa district holiday rental has reportedly secured $80,000 a week this Christmas, making it the most expensive known rental in the country.
Evgeny Skigin has leased <a href="https://domicnoosa.com" target="_blank">the uber-luxurious home, Domic</a>, which was built in 2019 into sand dunes on Seaview Terrace in Sunshine Beach.
Its reported build cost was $21 million, taking three years to construct on the block of land that cost $5.4 million in 2013.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/Screen%20Shot%202020-12-03%20at%2011.23.46%20am.png" alt="">
Niche Luxury Accommodation managing director Sue Willis told The Courier Mail the $12,570 a night listing had three bookings over the summer period, totalling 10 nights.
It’s understood one is a Sydney financier while another is a property developer from Melbourne.
The three-level, concrete domed building with 1400 sqm of living space is camouflaged under a green canopy, on almost 1ha of land on the edge of Noosa National Park with landscaping by James Birrell Design Lab.
There is a 25 metre pool, day spa, gymnasium, plus cinema room and a conference room.
The 71 Seaview Terrace home was designed by Brisbane architect Noel Robinson for Skigin, whose industrial hemp business is one of the leading providers of the usable fibre in the world.

$24 million Noosa home, Domic secures $80,000 a week Christmas rental

Having sold to the former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his wife Therese Rein, Queensland restaurateur David Hales and wife Louise have bought back big time into the Noosa market.
They scored $17 million on the Sunshine Coast (photo above) and instead recently bought two neighbouring properties on Noosa Sound's exclusive Mossman Court.
They paid $5 million and $7.25 million, taking their Noosa River holding to over 1,300 sqm.
The dearer of the homes was inspired by Ralph Lauren's Caribbean holiday home.
The couple still own 19 hectares on Lake Macdonald, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
The Hobart-born Hales, having departed last year the board of Betty's Burgers which he founded in 2014, recently acquired Tavern 42 Degrees South, a bar on the Hobart waterfront.
Meanwhile the Rudd-Rein power couple will be upgrading from nearby Castaways Beach where they have owned since paying $3.1 million in 2010.
Their new purchase last sold at $15.2 million when tennis legend Pat Rafter and his wife Lara quit the Sunshine Coast in early 2018.
The John Burgess-designed seven bedroom home was sold by the retired tennis champion Pat Rafter and his wife Lara who moved to their 28 hectare Byron Bay retreat.
The Rafters always wanted $18 million plus for the seven bedroom, five bathroom beachfront home which was built in 2010.
They paid $9.5 million in 2006 for the building block with rival tennis star Thomas Muster missing out of the 1286 sqm double block holding.
The minimalist luxury U-shaped home has a central pool with two glass-fronted wings pushing out towards the ocean over a steep banksia and pandanus-covered dune that drops down to the beach.
There's a path to the sand and the surf, some 136 kms north of Brisbane.
Rudd remains president of the New York-based Asia Society think tank, but the purchase has been advise as part of a move to repatriate capital to Australia.
Rein's wealth derives from employment services company Ingeus, which she sold in a deal worth up to $US206 million ($298 million) in 2014.
"We’ve made a conscious decision to bring our investments home to Australia," Ms Rein told the mainstream press.
"While Kevin was in office, we had to invest overseas to avoid conflicts of interest. We’ve now mostly brought those investments back home to Australia."

Pat Rafter's former luxury trophy home resold at Sunshine Beach for $17 million

<html><body>
The former Sunshine Beach home of tennis legend Pat Rafter and wife Lara is back up for sale again with record hopes.

The home (above and below) broke the district record when it <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/82373-entrepreneurs-buy-pat-rafters-home" target="_blank">sold for $15.2 million just under two years ago</a> to Queensland restaurant entrepreneurs David and Louise Hales.

The record <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/80830-sunshine-coast-record-broken-twice-in-two-weeks" target="_blank">only stood for two weeks</a>, with a sprawling beachfront mansion on the nearby Webb Road selling for $18 million.

Now the Hales family, who have recently spent $5.67 million on a Noosa Sound waterfront given their boating interests, have listed the former Rafter home with $20 million hopes after making a number of improvements.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/Rafter%20Seaview%204.jpg">

The John Burgess-designed home which is built in a H-shape around a central swimming pool has seven bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Tom Offermann and Eric Seetoo, who sold the home last time, are marketing it again.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/Rafter%20Seaview%203.jpg">

David was the co-founder of the Betty’s Burgers &amp; Concrete Co, which he established on Noosa’s Hastings Street in 2014 and then expanded to nine outlets.  

David sold Betty's Burgers to Retail Zoo.

The Hales family will only be in their Noosa Sound waterfront for a short while. They've recently settled on a knockdown rebuild on a double block on Mossman Court.

<div class="r">
<div class="ellip">
Sam and Kerri-Ann Charlton, the owners of the luxury Whitsundays island escape Bedarra Island Resort, are selling Pavilions, their Sunshine Beach home.
The Gabriel Poole-designed home once belonged to tennis legend Pat Rafter. Having paid $2.18m in 2003, Rafter sold eight years later for $2.25m.
The home then went backwards in 2013, when bought for $2.1m by the Charltons.
The two-level property on 920sq m at the northern end of Sunrise Beach has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The most impressive feature is the lap pool and bathing pavilion in the tropical gardens.
Mike Hay and Rachel Sellman at Century 21 have the listing. Sam and Kerri-Ann bought Bedarra Island Resort in 2011.
They have spent 18 months rebuilding and reopened the resort as an all-inclusive barefoot luxury retreat.

Sonya and David Evans, the former Bombers chairman, are tipped to emerge the $14 million buyers on Sunshine Beach, just outside of Noosa.

The beachfront house sold on the very first inspection just prior to hitting the market through Tom Offermann and Nic Hunter at Tom Offermann Real Estate.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22057]

The couple are based at Woodfield, an 1880s Hawthorn residence they've called home since paying $6,435,000 in 2010.

Their new weekender comes with 41 metres of ocean frontage on its 1,260 sqm parcel.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/1/10/Bomber2.jpg">

It has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a 23 metre swimming pool.

The Evans family sold their Little Cove house for $11.2 million in early 2018, after paying only half that just three years earlier.

Recently Singapore-based Equis Energy chief executive David Russell emerged on settlement as the buyer of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/80830-sunshine-coast-record-broken-twice-in-two-weeks" target="_blank">Noosa's most expensive home</a>, which he purchased through his company this year for $18 million.

Former Bomber chairman David Evans buys $14 million Sunshine Beach home 

<html><body>
The Sunshine Coast has seen its residential house price record broken twice in the last two weeks, with two beachfront properties fetching eye-watering figures for the locality.
First the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/67965-byron-bay-pat-rafter" target="_blank">Seaview Terrace home</a> of Byron Bay-bound tennis champion Pat Rafter sold after having consistent $18 million hopes since its initial listing last August.
The John Burgess designed seven bedroom, five bathroom beachfront home was built in 2010 after Rafter paid $9.5 million in 2006.
Tom Offermann Real Estate agency, who sold the Rafter home, have just found a buyer for an absolute beachfront home nearby on Webb Road, which had $22 million price hopes (above and below)
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/2/20/webb2.jpg" alt="">
Only first listed eight weeks ago, the home on a sprawling 3,595 sqm has been completely transformed since it traded as Brinbara in 2013.
A back-to-bare renovation by multi-award winning international designer David Hicks has seen the design give a nostalgic nod to the Italian Riviera, with a wealth of terrazzo and ribbed lacquered timber. 
Much like a hotel, the atrium with staircase and chandelier take centre stage. There's domestic and commercial size kitchens and six ensuited bedrooms.
The hotel amenities continue throughout the grounds, with a tennis court and cabana, glass-fronted pool and a self-contained guest cottage.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/2/20/webb3.jpg" alt="">
The home has a 44 metre beach frontage plus bounded on another side by a nature reserve.
Nic Hunter, the agent handling the marketing, said a beachhouse in the front row with nothing but the sea in front is the ultimate prize.
He sold the home with Tom Offermann, who sold the home over three decades ago.
“I’ve sold this property three times,” Offermann said.
“In 1987 it was owned by a Londoner, an industrial chemist, who used the modest timber house for his annual holidays.
"He wanted $1m, later confessing he thought he’d set me an impossible challenge, especially as it was my first year in business.
"But he was surprised to say the least when I returned with a contract. He signed it and poured a celebratory beer glass full of Scotch whisky.  I’m not sure if it was the elation of the epic sale or the Scotch, but I remember feeling like I was walking on air as I left his house, contract in hand.
“The sale made news as the first Sunshine Coast property to hit the magic million mark and is still making headlines today, 31 years later. That’s understandable given Webb Road is very sought-after with four-only beachfront properties.”
The Rafter home, also sold by the Tom Offermann agency, was built in a U-shape with a central pool and two glass-fronted wings pushing out towards the ocean.
There's a path to the sand and the surf.
