Shark Tank investor and property queen Maxine Horne will be having an extra merry Christmas this year after her Sunshine Coast home sold for a record price.
Ms Horne, the co-founder of Vita Group, listed ‘Maravilla’ at 7/56 David Low Way, Sunrise Beach, for sale for $28.5m earlier this month after it passed in at auction.
On the market through Tom Offermann and Cameron Urquhart of Tom Offermann Real Estate, the property sold for an undisclosed price in December.
Mr Offermann posted to social media on December 22 that the property achieved Noosa’s highest sale price of 2025.
Noosa’s top residential sale of the year had been 29 Cooran Ct, Noosa Heads, which was scooped up by Nigel Gardiner, the chair of national builder, Paynters, for $26.845m in July.
Mr Offermann said he could not disclose the buyer, seller or sale price of 7/56 David Low Way, but he revealed all parties were very happy with the outcome.
“It’s a feel good sale,” he said.
“It’s a wonderful way to put the star on the real estate Christmas tree by achieving a record sale for one of our clients.”

Property records show Ms Horne bought the 755 sqm property for $12.5m in 2023 as a vacant block with plans for a three-level house.
The block was previously bought by Brisbane entrepreneur Bevan Slattery for $6.65m in 2020.
Mr Offermann and Mr Urquhart marketed ‘Maravilla’ as a “sparkling new indisputable indulgence of global standard” featuring the latest in materials, technology and style.
“The house is brand new and was built for sale,” Mr Offermann said.
“It was painstakingly built over the past two-and-a-half years.
“The new owners need only buy crockery and cutlery.”
The modern home enjoys ocean views and the sounds of the surf, and has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a bar, a wine cellar and a home gym with spa, sauna and cold plunge pool.
An extravagant infinity pool sits on the third level and has built-in custom day beds and beach views.
The open living spaces flow easily to the outdoor entertaining areas, while the master suite includes a luxury ensuite and an oversized dressing room.

Mr Offermann said the sale should send a message of the high confidence in the Sunshine Coast luxury real estate market.
“We’ve had a rush of sales leading up to Christmas, which we often do,” he said.
“People are in the Christmas spirit … and are often keen to sit down to Christmas dinner with a sale or purchase consummated.
“It’s not unusual to have two or three sales on Christmas Eve.”
Ms Horne, a Queensland-based entrepreneur reported to be worth $900m, has bought and sold several luxury properties in Southeast Queensland in the past few years.
Ms Horne sold a riverfront property in New Farm for $18m in 2024 after buying it for $10.5m in 2016.
She also snapped up a luxury Newstead sub penthouse for $5.125m in 2024 and sold an Ascot Queenslander for $4.4m in 2021.
