Listing data updated 22 June 2026
5 bed4 bath2 car928 m² land
- Elevated on a prized 928sqm parcel in North Sunshine Beach, 1 Whale Drive is defined by its commanding position and truly spectacular ocean, white water and sweeping coastal views. Designed by Stephen Kidd, the residence balances architectural presence with a relaxed coastal sensibility, capturing cooling sea breezes and natural light across every level while maintaining a strong sense of privacy. Importantly, the property holds approval for short term holiday letting, presenting a rare opportunity to secure a luxury coastal residence with exceptional lifestyle appeal and proven flexibility for premium holiday accommodation income. Spanning three generous levels, the home has been thoughtfully configured to support both connection and separation. The main living level is anchored by open plan lounge and dining zones that extend to an ocean facing balcony, where newly introduced bay windows and a commercial grade sliding door elevate both natural light and the visual engagement with the outlook. The kitchen has been refined with updated flooring and lighting, complementing its suite of European appliances and stone finishes while maintaining a highly functional central role for entertaining. Accommodation is substantial and well considered. Six bedrooms plus a dedicated study are arranged to provide flexibility for evolving needs, including two separate master suites that offer privacy and retreat. The lower level operates as a fully self contained residence with private access, complete with its own kitchenette, living and dining zones, making it ideal for extended family, guests or dual living arrangements while also enhancing the property's appeal as a high performing holiday investment. Outdoor spaces have been curated for both scale and enjoyment. A Roman style pool is framed by expansive terraces and a productive culinary garden, creating an environment equally suited to large scale entertaining or quiet everyday living. Additional features such as a wine cellar, extensive storage, solar power and secure parking further enhance the home's liveability. Positioned moments from Sunshine Beach village, the surf club and patrolled coastline, and within easy reach of Noosa National Park and Hastings Street, this address places you at the centre of one of Noosa's most desirable coastal settings. A residence of this calibre offers a rare combination of design integrity, flexibility and lifestyle appeal, equally suited as a permanent residence, refined beachside retreat or premium income producing holiday investment.
