Summers are endless in this light-filled waterfront home made for hybrid living
Ever since the COVID lockdowns started, Queensland has become hot property, recording the highest levels of domestic migration in the country. And the heat is continuing to rise in the Sunshine Coast’s best known locale, Noosa.
This stunning two-storey, four-bedroom home at Noosa Waters hits all the right notes, with a discreet street frontage with double garage opening onto an exceptional 26m waterfront accessed via a private jetty. An open plan living area to the rear of the ground floor enjoys double height 7m ceilings and a wraparound deck offering alfresco dining, access to a generous lap pool and direct views of the water.
A secondary living space on this floor is flexible enough to act as a media room, teen retreat, library or home office.
Access to the upper floor via the central staircase or lift leads to four bedrooms. Two bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms while two more are serviced by the family bathroom. The main bedroom faces onto the water, with doors to a covered balcony ideal for morning coffee or late night drinks.
For those embracing the ‘work from home’ lifestyle, the purpose built study is filled with natural light and enjoys views of the garden and water.
Designed by building designer Frank Macchia for comfort all year round, there’s underfloor heating in the main living space during the cooler months and aircon to keep temperatures even in summer. Solar panels manage running costs.

As tariffs bite, Sydney’s MAISON de SABRÉ is pushing deeper into the US, holding firm on pricing and proving that resilience in luxury means more than survival.
Early indications from several big regional real-estate boards suggest March was overall another down month.
As tariffs bite, Sydney’s MAISON de SABRÉ is pushing deeper into the US, holding firm on pricing and proving that resilience in luxury means more than survival.
As global trade tensions intensify and tariffs reshape the retail landscape, one Australian brand is choosing to scale rather than retreat.
Sydney-founded luxury label MAISON de SABRÉ is doubling down on the US market, pushing ahead with a bold expansion strategy despite rising cost pressures and broader global uncertainty.
While many brands are increasing prices or pausing shipments, MAISON de SABRÉ is holding its price point for customers and continuing to invest in its US operations.
The move reflects a deeper strategic play: a vertically integrated, zero-waste supply chain that allows the brand to deliver on cost, speed, and quality — even under pressure.
It’s this model, paired with consistent product innovation and sharp design, that has helped MAISON de SABRÉ build lasting equity in international markets.
At its pop-up in Bloomingdale’s, MAISON de SABRÉ is currently the top-selling brand in its category — a position it also holds in the top two across both Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom’s online platforms.
Co-founder and CEO Omar Sabré says this is no accident.
“This is going to be a very difficult period for a lot of smaller brands — especially those relying on offshore mass production or single growth markets,” says Sabré.
“We’ve built a uniquely global model that can absorb shocks — from pricing pressure to supply chain disruption — while protecting customers and safeguarding long-term growth.”
Founded on a mission to deliver modern, accessible luxury, the brand hand-finishes its signature full-grain cowhide goods in Sydney, tested against a 13-point quality control protocol.
Sustainability is embedded, not just as a value but as a competitive advantage. MAISON de SABRÉ sources exclusively from LWG Gold-Rated tanneries, and its transition to DriTan™ leather — the world’s most sustainable tanning method — saves 25 million litres of water annually and reduces chemical use by 33%.
With 85% material utilisation, zero-waste production, and carbon offsetting on track by 2026, MAISON de SABRÉ is setting a new standard for sustainable craftsmanship at scale.
“We’ve always believed that staying close to the customer — operationally and emotionally — is what separates sustainable brands from short-term players,” says Sabré.
“This isn’t just about product. It’s about building systems that hold up in any climate.”
While competitors pivot or pause, MAISON de SABRÉ is executing a long-term strategy built on control, creativity, and disciplined growth. In a disrupted global retail market, the brand isn’t just weathering the storm — it’s shaping the new definition of modern luxury.
New windows can insulate better than most walls, and some can even survive being hit with a two-by-four shot from a cannon.
