The sale of apartment 35 ‘Ivy on Picnic Point’, Maroochydore, is yet another example of the strength and continued demand from the owner occupier market.

With Melissa Anderson and Damien Said from C21 on Duporth at the helm, the three-bedroom penthouse with river views drew a healthy crowd for 4pm on a Thursday.

With owner occupiers dominating the bidding, the penthouse (pictured) went on to change hands for $1,750,000.

With the final bidder triumphant at $2,700,000, there were welcoming cheers all round.

In the writer’s opinion, one of the best named lakes in the state is Lake Macdonald, home to 80 Racehorse Lane.

The two-acre, beautifully refurbished home is private, quiet and minutes to Cooroy.
