357 Duke Road

Commanding a tightly held elevated ridgeline position, "Magari" is a residence of rare presence and architectural clarity, where scale, design and landscape converge in extraordinary alignment. Conceived by acclaimed designer Gerard Smith and recognised with the BDAA National Design Excellence Award in 2018, this is a home defined by precision, restraint and intent. Expansive glazing, refined materiality and carefully framed sightlines draw the horizon inward, resulting in an uninterrupted panorama of the coastline from the Noosa National Park headland to Coolum. Here, quiet sophistication is matched by a rare vantage point reserved to only a handful of Noosa Hinterland residences. The home unfolds with a natural sense of flow, where soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass and wide hallways establish volume while maintaining complete privacy. Living, dining and leisure zones are unified yet distinct, grounded in refined materiality and centred around a feature suspended fireplace. Disappearing doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, extending the living experience onto a full-width terrace, where a 24 metre horizon pool appears to merge seamlessly with the landscape beyond. At its centre, the kitchen balances performance with design integrity. A substantial stone island bench, Corian-topped, timber veneered cabinetry and a suite of integrated premium appliances are complemented by a well appointed butler's pantry. Accommodation is equally resolved. The main suite is privately positioned, revealed via a concealed entry and defined by volume, light and direct connection to the terrace and pool. The guest wing at the North end offers three additional bedrooms and a dedicated workspace, supporting flexible family and guest accomodation. Beyond its architectural merit, the estate is highly considered in its infrastructure, delivering a 26kW solar system supported by dual 25kW battery banks and a 30kW backup diesel generator system with automatic transfer. Water security is equally comprehensive, with 180,000 litres of primary storage, three hot water systems, and advanced multi-stage filtration with UV sterilisation. The garage holds three cars and, beneath the residence, a secure lower-level garage accommodates up to 13 vehicles, ideally suited to a curated car collection or a range of alternative uses, such as an extension workshop. Landscaped grounds are both established and manageable, featuring mature Liquid Amber trees, a firepit setting on the terrace, and a generous flat grassed area the size of a tennis court. Positioned in the heart of Doonan, just minutes from Noosa's beaches, river and dining precincts, this property offers both privacy and proximity. For the discerning buyer seeking a residence of substance, privacy and enduring design, "Magari" (Italian for "if only we could have it all") represents a rare and compelling opportunity within the upper tier of the Noosa Hinterland market.
