on the cover

Looking fresh DESIGNED by award-winning architect Shaun Lockyer, this home has been built to withstand the rigours of coastal living while providing a modern, stylish dwelling that offers a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle.

Throughout, a beautiful and contemporary mix of materials from ironbark timbers to polished concrete floors have been used to create a robust home that is also impeccably modern and functional to suit family living.

This home has been cleverly designed with high ceilings, voids and gallery-style spaces to create a sense of openness while still maintaining the feeling of a warm and welcoming family home located in the heart of Sunshine Beach.

With such beautiful natural surrounds, care has been taken to design the house around a series of courtyards that invite the outside into the home for a more connected, natural living experience.

The sleek kitchen is as impressive as the timber features throughout, boasting stainless steel appliances, a butler’s pantry and a large white stone bench top that looks out over the deck and to the sparkling pool and peaceful Japanese garden.

There are five bedrooms including the spacious master suite that has its own media room with large sliding timber doors that open out to a terrace, plus a beautifully-appointed ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

There are three more bedrooms, plus a fifth room that could be used as a guest room or office and a media room.

All of this is located just 100 metres from the beach and only a short stroll from the eclectic mix of bars, restaurants, cafes and boutique shops at the vibrant Sunshine Beach village, while Noosa Heads and the Noosa River are only a short drive away.

highlight home "Sails" in Sunshine Beach.

Designer living MBC Prestige has joined forces with Stephen Kidd of Kidd and Co Designs to present three luxury developments to the market.

Two will be located in the highly soughtafter Sunshine Beach. Promising luxurious beachside living, White Sands and Sails both offer whole floor apartments with three bedrooms and three bathrooms in stunning beachside locations.

White Sands is on Crank Street and features a design that accentuates all that is Sunshine Beach; from the built-in storage for surfboards and beach equipment to the

stunning ocean views, the lucky owners of these apartments will want for nothing.

Buyers will need to be quick with the stunning penthouse apartment already sold, there is just one apartment left in the White Sands development.

MBC Prestige and Kidd and Co Designs have also created the Sails development, which is conveniently located on Duke Street, just a short stroll from all Sunshine Beach has to offer including the sparkling ocean, popular surf club, local cafes, restaurants and shops.

Boasting a spacious floorplan, the Sails apartments feature three bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a designer kitchen and large outdoor terraces so there is ample space for family and guests.

There are only two whole-floor apartments on offer in the Sails development. With the penthouse apartment already sold, there is just one more opportunity to take advantage of the elevated position with views of the ocean and access to the beach and National Park.

In Noosaville, the exclusive Kalani

development offers a rare chance to secure luxurious riverfront living on Gympie Terrace.

The whole-floor apartments have been designed by Stephen Kidd and enjoy magnificent views over Noosa River to the Noosa rivermouth, plus state-of-the-art inclusions and finishes.

Designed by Andrew Bock, the Kailani Beach House is simply stunning with architectural features throughout and beautiful finishes such as timber flooring and stone bench tops that add an element of luxury to the three-bedroom home.

Living is spread over two levels with the main living spaces and the main bedroom on the top level to make the most of the easterly position and sea views.

The designer kitchen features all the modern conveniences one would expect in a home of the calibre and overlooks the dining space where banks of louvered windows allow fresh breezes and

natural light to fill the home.

Large sliding doors open out to a covered balcony where the sea views can best be enjoyed.

When it comes time to relax, there are multiple living spaces with an open-plan lounge upstairs next to the kitchen, plus a more casual family room on the lower level that could also be used as a media room, large office or playroom for the kids.

This property also features a double car garage and the yard is fully fenced for the kids and family pet can play safely on the lawn.

All of this is just a 15-minute stroll from the vibrant Sunshine Beach village and the popular Surf Club, while Noosa Heads, Noosa River and the Noosa Junction are only a short drive away.

Pet friendly - With 63 per cent of Australian households owning pets, making your property pet friendly will greatly increase its rentability.

BUILDING an investment property is becoming increasingly popular in Queensland.

It is a desirable place to live and it is significantly more affordable than the southern states of New South Wales and Victoria but a lot of investors make the mistake of not researching what tenants actually want in a rental property.

If a property doesn’t tick a certain number of boxes then the property will sit vacant

Air-conditioning - At the very least ensure the property has air-conditioning in both the living room and main bedroom. It’s even better to have it in all the bedrooms. Ceiling fans throughout the property also gives the tenants the flexibility to save on power and open the house up.

Make this area a little larger and you will have happy tenants.

Gas cooktop and hot water - A gas cooktop is a desirable feature for tenants and gas instantaneous hot water means no cold showers for the last person.

Privacy and fenced yards - Privacy for tenants, especially with duplexes and dual occupancies is essential. Blinds or curtains should be included and ensure the property is fenced, even if the yard is small.

Finally, a garden shed for storing the mower, good natural lighting, multiple TV points and internet access all go towards making a property attractive for prospective tenants.
