37 Mcanally Drive, Sunshine Beach, QLD, 4567, Australia

It was nature - specifically a prized sand dune on the highest point in Sunshine Beach, with explosive 180-degree views from Double Island Point and the Noosa National Park in the north, sweeping the Coral Sea and coastline to Mooloolaba and beyond, that inspired a residence reminiscent of the Mediterranean.

Perched at the end of an acclaimed street, renowned designer Stephen Kidd recalled the location took his breath away and 30-years later, the brief to create layered and multiple practical living spaces for entertaining, whatever the reason or season, remains relevant.

Come inside. Admire the rich terracotta tiles and how the foyer expands into a beautiful high-ceilinged gallery-like living space adorned with Pugh family artworks, and an effortless connection from inside to a terrace - more a sun room. Bi-fold plantation shutters capture those extraordinary natural landscapes and see the fit and super-stoked returning from their treasured surf breaks in Alexandria, T-tree and Granite Bay

Look around. At the other end of the room is a custom-designed curvaceous bar, opening on the north-westerly side to an expansive terrace. Sundowners anyone? Maybe a swim in the shimmering pool is your idea of cooling off, while sun worshippers will love the salty breezes.

The statement staircase with bespoke wrought iron balustrading opens to more voluminous living spaces, washed in natural light which shadow dances across the polished Fraser Island Brushbox flooring. It extends to the terrace where the scene is truly picture-perfect – again. Imagine gazing at the planetary-like night sky or during the day catching F18 flyovers, hang gliders, dolphins or whales heading north on 'their' highway.

From the terrace - almost an extension of the dining room on the northside, open the Vergola louvres, slide away the breeze-catching casement windows and hear waves breaking on shore.

Paradoxically perhaps, the scene overall is both calming and energising at once, while spaces of many moods, contrast with the sereneness of the south side, where there is a fireplace and the adjoining terrace has views to Mt Cooroy, and over the private back garden.

The centrepiece of the upper level is a custom designed kitchen, with the consummate entertainer in mind. With Corian-topped cabinetry including a long island/breakfast bar, it features all the bells and whistles in latest high-end appliances and accoutrements.

When it comes to slumber zones and more awe-inspiring moments, plaudits go first to the king-size master retreat on the upper level with those views to sigh for. Plus, it has an ensuite with vaulted ceiling and skylights, bath tub and a fashionista-style walk-in robe. On the lower level are two bedrooms with built-in robes. One looks out to the garden, the second accesses a terrace which extends to the pool. In-between is a family bathroom and a laundry.

"For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle" comments Peter Te Whata, who is taking the property to Auction on Saturday 15 April at 2pm 2023, "this classy residence, reminiscent of the Mediterranean, is perched on a dune-like eyrie with unsurpassed, never to be interrupted 180-degree views, in one of the most revered streets of Sunshine Beach,"

"It's the aspiration of many yet rarely available, so the future value of this white-hot prized location, considered the Holy Grail by many, will always be underpinned."
