A residential development combining inner-city and coastal lifestyle is nearing completion as it cements itself as the ‘beating heart’ of a Sunshine Coast suburb.
Described as the region’s ‘best-kept secret’, Sunshine Cove at Maroochydore is nearing completion, with only a handful of freehold blocks still up for grabs.
Sunshine Cove, known for its peaceful yet central location, has become a highly desirable address.
Penny Service, from Sunshine Cove Realty, said the remaining blocks are part of Stage 3 in the Lancelin Precinct with a “great mix” of allotments available.
“This is our last freehold land release and we’re thrilled we have such a range of land to offer buyers,” she said.
“We’ve had a fantastic response and we’re busy welcoming new residents to Sunshine Cove.

“Now that the land is registered, we’re seeing steady growth in buyer interest.
“With buyers free to choose any builder they like, it’s really appealing to people wanting to build their dream home.
“It’s the mix of people that gives Sunshine Cove its vibrancy.”

Ms Service said demand had risen, thanks to more buyers looking to downsize or move into low-maintenance homes, drawn in by the estate’s central location and lifestyle offerings.
“Our urban and terrace homesites really tie in with the ‘small houses, better lifestyle’ trend and our waterfront blocks make the ‘dream’ lifestyle attainable.
“More often than not, our buyers are at a stage in life where they don’t want or need such a large home, but still want a space where family and friends can come and visit.”

This is the final chapter for the development, which has been two decades in the making.
“Encompassing nearly 106 hectares, Sunshine Cove community development is literally in the heart of Maroochydore,” Ms Service said.
“Visitors and locals alike drive past the stunning views of the lake every time they come off the Sunshine Motorway and head down Maroochy Boulevard.”
Sunshine Cove Realty recently relocated its office to Discovery Place, Maroochydore, to be close to the latest development.
“Being out on site lets us be more accessible for the builders, but also it makes us easier to find to answer any queries people have,” Ms Service said.
“It’s great being back on site, get to be a part of the activity and see the construction as it happens.”
The final stage includes urban blocks starting from 140sqm, priced from $525,000, and terrace lots starting at 210sqm from $660,000. Remaining waterfront blocks start at 225sqm, with direct access to the lake’s edge.
Launched almost 20 years ago by Chardan Development Group, the award-winning estate comprises 11 precincts and be home to about 6000 residents once complete.
