A Queensland home built with more than 1,300 tonnes of concrete has hit the market, with the material alone estimated to cost $5m to replace.

The residence offers a rare combination of privacy, lifestyle, luxury and unmatched views.
Soak up that view!
Seller David Desmarchelier said while the uninterrupted views first capture people’s attention, it was the home’s incredible sense of permanence that ultimately won him over.
“The views are spectacular, but what really struck me was how the house feels,” said Mr Desmarchelier.
“It’s built almost entirely from concrete, and you immediately feel this incredible sense of strength, security and permanence.”
Mr Desmarchelier, who bought the property two years ago, said the residence offered something he had never experienced before.
“I’ve lived in structurally lightweight homes before,” he said.
“This is completely different. It’s quiet, incredibly private and feels like it’ll be standing strong in hundreds of years.”

He believes recreating the property today would be almost impossible.
“The shell alone couldn’t be replicated today for anything less than $7m, and I don’t believe you’d ever receive approval to build something of this scale in this position again.”
Positioned on an elevated 779 sqm parcel backing directly onto Noosa National Park, the home offers lift access across three levels, a magnesium swimming pool positioned on the top floor, wellness spaces, gymnasium, extensive solar and battery storage, and wraparound entertaining decks that capture 270-degree views.

Panoramic views take in some of the Sunshine Coast’s most iconic landscapes, spanning the ocean, Sunshine Beach, Noosa National Park, Noosa Sound, Lake Weyba, the lush hinterland, Maleny and the north to the coastline of Mooloolaba.
Mr Desmarchelier said the upper level quickly became the heart of daily life.
“It’s like living in your own private penthouse,” he said.
“We spend almost all our time upstairs because everything is there – the kitchen, living, office, master suite and even the pool.
“You simply open the doors and step straight into the water while looking over Noosa.”

Family, guests and children can enjoy their own dedicated level, complete with three oversized bedrooms, a lounge and entertainment facilities.
“The home’s extensive concrete construction provides exceptional sound insulation, creating a level of privacy for guests and owners.
Mr Desmarchelier said the decision to sell was difficult, but a lifestyle change had prompted the sale.
“We’re moving into a property that is completely different,” he said.
We’ve found acreage where we can grow our own food, have animals and live a more off-grid lifestyle.
“If that opportunity hadn’t come along, we wouldn’t be selling our beautiful home.”

Noosa selling agent Chris Jarrett, founder of CJRE, said the residence was one of the most unique homes he had represented.
“Luxury homes often compete on architecture or finishes,” Mr Jarret said.
“This property competes on something far rarer – it simply couldn’t be recreated today.”
“From the engineering and construction through to its elevated position and extraordinary views, this is genuinely a landmark residence.”
The home offers a balance of privacy, luxury and convenience.
Mr Jarrett said the home’s combination of engineering, privacy and proximity to Hastings Street created an offering unlike anything available in Noosa.
“You’re just minutes from Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, yet once you’re home, you feel like you’re sitting above the world.
“It’s a balance of privacy, luxury and convenience.”
