Opulent Oceanfront & Infinity Pool

There’s something powerful about the sight and sound of water that creates a wonderful sense of calm and a profound desire to reconnect with nature and with each other. And at this spectacular luxury home in the prestigious Beaches estate, the power and possibility of water are on full show. Nestled mere footsteps from ocean swells and sandy shores, accessed via a private path, the contemporary home stretches across three levels, all bathed in washes of beautiful natural sunlight. Banks of glass serve as a unifying design element throughout, showcasing the property’s 23 metres of direct ocean frontage and seamlessly linking the indoors with out.

The main living and gathering hub is centred on the home’s entry level, where open-plan spaces for living and dining join an enormous gourmet kitchen to edge the furnished alfresco area that leads through to the infinity-edge pool. It’s a magnificent spot to eat, entertain and let the eyes travel across manicured lawns and lush landscaping to the turquoise waters beyond, the faint smell of salt water wafting across the air.

Downstairs, the bedrooms – most with panoramic 180-degree outlooks stretching across the Pacific Ocean and down towards Mooloolaba – continue an interior colour palette that artfully tones with the local environment, from rich timber and beautiful greens that evoke Noosa National Park to myriad blues inspired by the rise and fall of the waves. On the top level, accessed via a timber staircase, the master bedroom is a beautiful study in the soothing sensibilities of Hamptons style. The calming space flows out to a private patio complete with lounges and glass balustrading that artfully frames the east-facing panorama. It’s a private retreat from where, depending on the time of year, you might be fortunate enough to spot whales, dolphins or maybe a stingray.

For those with a love for salt and spray, there’s a surf break nearby, along with patrolled swimming and a surf club that’s a favourite haunt for visitors and locals alike. It feeds into the convivial and cosmopolitan local village atmosphere, from chic bars and award-winning eateries to funky retailers. Stock up on everything you need and then head home, or don your walking shoes and explore delights such as the nearby national park. It truly is a haven that spoils visitors for choice, all underscored by that amazing ocean panorama, which serves as an alarm clock by day and then a lullaby at night, soothing you into a restful slumber. Then tomorrow, you can do it all again.
