A blue-chip waterfront property, complete with a separate studio apartment, is the latest prestigious offering to enter the Sunshine Coast’s sizzling property market.

This ‘must see’ home is nestled at the heart of Minyama’s prestigious waterfront enclave and includes 34 metres of fan frontage to the Mooloolah River.

Located at 8 Island Court, Minyama, the renovated home is poised for auction in a suburb that has seen strong sales in recent months.

Selling agent Richard Scrivener from Next Property said the “exceptional” property gave the feeling of “living on an island”.

“It’s a beautiful north facing fan frontage at 8 Island Court – which is probably one of my favourite streets in Minyama.

“It is such a delightful, quiet cul-de-sac with a central park in the middle.

“There so much to love about this house – it’s the location, it’s the fan frontage, it the peacefulness.

“While it’s not on an island, it feels like you are on your own island when you are there.”

The open plan kitchen.

The four-bedroom home sits on an 872sqm block of land, featuring large open spaces all facing north to the deep water.

The modern open plan kitchen offers waterfall stone benchtops with modern stainless-steel appliance and gas top cooking, while a large separate living room offers expansive views of the river.

For families looking for separate space to hide away, there is a comfortable separate one-bedroom studio apartment with its own street access.

A private 15-metre pontoon with deepwater access can accommodate vessels, making it a boaties’ dream, while an over-the-water decked area would suit year-round entertaining.

Mr Scrivener said the versatile home would suit a family, especially due to the studio apartment with its own kitchen and ensuite.

“The home has such beautiful opportunity for a family to bring in an elderly parent, or a teenager wanting some independence with the studio space, or even an Airbnb investment opportunity.

“It is rare to have this sort of offering for a residential Minyama home.”

8 Island Court, Minyama, includes deepwater access.

He said the home was ready to move into and that plans to include a pool have already been drawn up if the new owner wanted to make that addition down the track.

“It is a move in and do nothing home,” Mr Scrivener said.

“All you need to add to that property, if you want, is a pool and we have full plans drawn up with engineering ready to show any potential buyer to save them having to do that themselves.”

Mr Scrivener said waterfront sales in Minyama remained strong, with properties across the board highly sought after.

The property will go to auction onsite on Saturday, October 21 at 1pm, if not sold prior.
