Iconic Beachfront Home Hits Market for First Time in 80 Years

One of Caloundra’s original beach properties occupying the highest point of Moffat Beach’s millionaire’s row is being offered to the market for the first time in 80 years.

Local, national and international interest is already mounting for the iconic 19 Queen of Colonies Parade, being sold by expressions of interest by multi-award-winning Henzells agent, Iain Simms.

“This is without a doubt a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Iain said.

The property has been owned by a Brisbane-based family since purchased as a vacant block in the 1940s, serviced then by a dirt track worn into the hillside by beachgoers and the only traffic of concern was from kids flying down the hill in billycarts. 

“This treasured family holiday home offers a wealth of opportunities for the new owner, whether they continue to enjoy it in its classic original form, build their dream home or develop the high-density site at a later date into units. Beachfront blue-chip locations like this are extremely rare.”

Named after a ship that foundered off Moffat Head in 1863, Queen of Colonies Parade has since evolved into one of the Sunshine Coast’s premium oceanfront residential precincts offering breathtaking uninterrupted northerly ocean views that can never be built out, and a vibrant café culture. 

This iconic beach house was added in the 1950s and has been tastefully updated and improved over the course of its life.

“It has been a much-loved weekender and holiday home, filled with wonderful family memories, and now with the owners deciding to move on, it presents an extremely rare chance to buy into this premium location,’’ Iain said.

“Queen of Colonies Parade is regarded as one of the best beachside addresses on the Sunshine Coast, if not, Queensland. Homes hardly ever come onto the market, with the last one listed for sale publicly being back in 2014,’’ he said.

“It’s a totally different ball game in 2022. It’s hard to say where the pricing will go as there’s simply nothing else like it available,’’ Iain said.

Just 300m from Moffat Beach’s café precinct and ocean front parkland, the home offers outstanding northerly water views from the ground and first floors all the way along the coast to Moffat Beach, Dicky Beach, Kawana and Point Cartwright

Set on a fully useable 506sqm site, it features four bedrooms, two inside bathrooms, an outdoor tropical shower and powder room, fabulous secret garden with extensive entertaining area, plus an open plan ground floor blending living, kitchen and dining spaces with a spectacular view that can’t be built out!

“It’s a one-of-a-kind,’’ said Iain.
