Oh, to have a penthouse apartment in paradise where the climate is idyllic year-round, and it is a stroll from the azure shallows of Laguna Bay and the shimmering white-sand of Noosa Main Beach. How about sea views from the very generous north-facing terrace, as well as the spa bath and master suite, and being amongst the exclusive few with access to the nearby elevated Brooke's Pool. It hugs the ridge of the Noosa National Park on one side and has outstanding sweeping gull's eye ocean views on the other. Embracing its position, 'perched' atop the rainforest trees of the Noosa National Park, where koalas call home and choruses from the native birdlife are a delight, the in-vogue two-bedroom penthouse apartment is one of only four on the much-coveted top floor. Open the front door and admire the high-ceilinged, over-size living spaces with a contemporary beach aesthetic including sandy-hued tiles, sumptuous modular sofa, timber dining table, and a collection of very impressive Peter Lik limited edition seascape artworks to complement indoors and out. Floor-to-ceiling sliders ostensibly disappear to reveal the terrace which stretches the width of the apartment. There is not only a verdant outlook and summer breezes tinged with salty air, but beyond are mesmerising Coral Sea views. What a perfect space for alfresco entertaining night or day, especially when the glam kitchen with stone-topped timber cabinetry has every accoutrement including a gas cooktop, to bring out the inner Jamie Oliver. The master suite with custom leather bedhead and a walk-in robe, also accesses the terrace, while the spa in the ensuite can easily cater for several people who enjoy bubbles and drinking in the views above the trees. The second bedroom, a twin has built-ins robes. It has an adjoining bathroom, dedicated study space, a powder room as well as a fully equipped laundry. "When it comes to location Peppers Noosa Resort has it in spades," remarks Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller. "Everything is so close. Hastings Street, only 300m away, is simply brimming with designer fashion boutiques, street-side alfresco cafés, bars and art galleries, plus there is the Noosa Heads Surf Club and the sheltered north-facing Main Beach. Along the coastal boardwalk is the pristine 477-hectare Noosa National Park, a big boon to joggers, walkers, nature lovers and of course surfers, who are attracted to the world-famous Surfing Reserve. Just up from the resort's main entrance is Laguna Lookout with its stunning sunsets and breathtaking views across the ocean to the Glasshouse Mountains. "There's a lot to love about a red-hot investment opportunity in the Sands apartment complex, which is also close to Stephanie's Ocean Spa, and award-winning Views restaurant helmed by celebrity chef Matt Golinski."
