Couple pays $20.5m to stop auction they spotted on their boat

4 weeks ago 14

A couple cruising by on their boat offered $20.5m to put a stop to an upcoming auction after spotting sale signs going up onshore.

Agents had been setting up for the next day’s auction event when all activity ground to a halt thanks to the whopping offer 10 times the previous sale price for the property in popular holiday zone Noosa.

Property records name the property’s owner as having paid $2m for the home 25 years ago, before knocking it down and building a stunning designer home on site for his family.

Ambitious plan to build new ‘suburb’ inside a quarry

40 Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads, had been scheduled for auction.


The home has a coveted position on the river.


Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate had described the home as having all the elite trimmings that are coveted in Noosa – being an “absolute riverfront address on tightly held Noosa Parade, on the doorstep of glamorous Hastings Street”.

According to the agency, the home “sold a day after the ‘forthcoming auction’ sign went up”.

“Long-term clients who were on their boat, spotted the media team and agents Nic Hunter and Tiffany Wilson setting up photography and videography.”

Homes in the area are tightly held.


The ultimate Queensland life.


“They reached out with a knockout bid in excess of $20m and secured an absolute first-class residence in one of Noosa Heads’ most popular waterfront locations, so close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach.”

The five bedroom, four bathroom house at 40 Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads, has now settled after a four month settlement period.
