60 Valley Drive, Doonan

Iconic Hinterland Hideaway

This charming example of Gabriel Poole's iconic architectural style has been beautifully curated over the past 20 odd years by its current loving owners.
Nestled into a private treed oasis on the edge of the Noosa Country Club, the gentle slope from the home leads down to the edge of a lily strewn lake offering a private vantage point to picnic, meditate or tune in to the amazing birdlife on offer. For keen golfers, 60 Valley Drive is only a 600m walk to the Country Club if you fancy a game!
One of the things that draws people out to the country is the tranquility and privacy afforded by small acreage, this home offers this in spades! Inspired by the architect's love of the bush, the house is perched lightly on the lower terrace of the block connecting it to the undulating forest around it.
Featuring wide wrap-around verandahs, deep eaves, and gracious shoji style sliding doors and windows, this home is the epitome of inside-outside integration, the high ceilings and expansive living zones are all connected to each other allowing the breezes to play throughout. Sited to make the best of the sun and breeze, you can follow the sun or shade throughout the day.
The elegant kitchen forms the hub of the home, beautifully executed, the working zone connects to the verandah with a practical servery on one side. The streamlined under bench storage is extensive with an adjoining breakfast nook on the other side offering oodles of storage so you can hide everything away and just concentrate on the beautifully landscaped gardens cascading down to the verandah.
So many of my buyers over the years have rejected lovely homes because the bedrooms were all crowded together in one wing, this house has benefited from the architect's flair and vision by providing two queen size bedrooms on the main living level, both with adjoining ensuite bathrooms at either end of the home, both opening out to their own private verandah setting. Perfect for hosting guests or keeping the kids apart!
The huge main bedroom is a wonderful haven to escape the hubbub of family living, leading off the formal entry vestibule it enjoys its own private sitting area, adjoining fourth bedroom or home office/studio and access to the gardens from its own sweeping verandah.
This home is worth serious consideration, it enjoys a timeless simplicity with rich Tasmanian mountain ash flooring throughout, the very best elements of our traditional Queenslander building techniques have been employed to maximize solar efficiency and capture those important breezes. While the home is equipped with ducted air conditioning, you will rarely need to switch it on! For those that want to tinker at home, there is a sizable double garage, and plenty of space for additional sheds, or even more storage under the house. You will never run out of water with a 30,000 Litre tank.
