2/1-7 Bayview Road, Noosa Heads, Qld 4567

Mere minutes from alluring Little Cove Beach with its powder-fine sand and crystal-clear turquoise water, is Lumiere, cossetted in an exclusive enclave, hugged by lush gardens and the unspoiled Noosa National Park.

From the private driveway an eye-catching yet sense of mystique prevails momentarily at the water feature-adorned front entry, on the main level.

Push aside the massive door into the elegantly pared back foyer and look ahead. Stealing the limelight is a jewel box of exhilarating artistry, curation, design and white diamond indulgence, as modern as tomorrow.

Behold immeasurable living and dining areas, whispers of the Caribbean's magical St Barts and a vibrant spectrum of luscious blues, warm whites, coohs and aahs. Admire endless French oak flooring, ever-so high coffered ceilings, one of many Carrara marble fireplaces, sumptuous linen covered sofas, decadent furniture, exquisite accessories, artworks and rugs, designer pendants, chandeliers and so much more, fashioned throughout by the inimitable Deborah Watson.

Focusing on the good life alfresco, full height doors, in complete line of sight from the living spaces, disappear and morph on the north-east side to a massive covered outdoor travertine-tiled dining terrace. Taking centre stage are the designer's signature upholstered double day beds ostensively floating on the dazzling viridescent pool, while the nearby spa and sun terrace have the beauty of the rainforest as a backdrop.

Northside living similarly coalesces with a terrace with its fragrant wall of jasmine, a fireplace, custom seating and integrated barbeque facilities.

Five-star custom design to suit a top chef was the paramount goal in the super-sized kitchen with Carrara marble-topped cabinetry and complementary island breakfast bar. Equally an abundance of storage, high-end appliances and accoutrements including the true butler's style pantry, which has a wall of windows overlooking the herb and vegetable garden.

In the main residence are five astounding king-size bedrooms each with Carrara marble bathrooms, and most have double French doors opening to a terrace. However, when it comes to bragging rights for prodigiousness, the top-level penthouse-style premier suite with designer furniture, marble fireplace and accessories is the creme de la crème. A sense of Dior pervades the marble bathroom with ritzy mirrors and cabinetry, stone bath and rainwater showers, also the glamazon-inspired dressing room with marble-topped island, crystal drop chandeliers and showcase shoe storage.

Full length doors coalesce completely with the private travertine-tiled sky terrace with sink-into sun lounges and look over the Noosa National Park rainforest. Peace reigns except for bird choruses, the creek trickling over rocks, and be lulled by waves beyond the rainforest breaking onto the foreshore at Sunshine Beach. 

In the south wing are three luxe bedrooms, each with ensuite, built-in robes and a terrace; a state-of-the-art infra-red sauna for four; and a commodious store room kitted out with plentiful high-end linen for holiday bookings. The fifth bedroom, mimicking the other three is on the entry level and the lift connects the upper floors to the garage.

Nearby on the lower level, offering a combined or a totally separate peaceful and serene Lumiere experience, is the inspired private guest house with dedicated front entry.

Inside mirrors almost everything lavish about the main residence except of course the total area and number of spaces.

Expansive open plan living and dining with its marble fireplace, morph seamlessly to wrap around travertine-tiled terraces. The northside's centrepiece is the pool and spa, inviting sun lounges, also a lawned area with integrated barbeque facilities; the north-east overlooking the rainforest is undercover, suggesting another entertaining option. 

The L-shaped kitchen with large marble topped custom cabinetry is also a mini version and has similar latest appliances including an induction cooktop.  

Two premier bedroom suites have walk-in robes and marble ensuites. 

Lumiere is indisputable uber sophistication plus luxury on tap, and the future owner need only bring a toothbrush, sunscreen, fundamentals and the family. Everything else has been taken care of, from custom furniture and curated artworks to towels by the pool, crockery in the kitchen, luxury linen on the bed and a store filled with linen enough for the residence as well as the private guest house and holiday rentals. Tranquil Lumiere ignites the senses and truly has everything to sigh for.

"The location mere minutes to Little Cove Beach and Laguna Bay is second-to-none and Lumiere is the ultimate investment prize," enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller, who is taking the property to auction on Friday 22 November 2024.

"Resplendent Little Cove is a jewel on Australia's seaboard. It's where the ocean meets rainforest albeit the Noosa National Park, where minutes or 250-metres, away sophisticated Hastings Street meets laidback Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay. There is arguably no place in the Noosa region this close to so many well-known beaches and world-class surf breaks. 

"This really is an extraordinary opportunity to own a substantial slice of magic and this 'turn-key' residence with guest house, has it all."
