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.

Invest for the best returns reduce. We’ve put together some of the things that tenants have high on their priority list.
rental market
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. Oversized entertaining area - We still see new homes being built where the outdoor

entertaining area won’t accommodate a sixseater dining table, chairs and a barbecue. 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. Don’t put the laundry in the garage. Although this isn’t always a deal breaker a separate laundry with or near a linen

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. If you ensure you get these basics right when you are building your investment property you are more likely to attract the right tenants quickly and at the right price.
