The property at 32 Spitfire Lane, Cooroy is being marketed by Ray White Rural Eumundi agent Sacha Laing and is for sale via expressions of interest.

With a cottage and a main residence on site, the property is being sold with a price guide between $1.9 million to $2.1 million.


Japanese lighting designer Motoko Ishii, renowned for her work with German manufacturer Staff, created this exceptional piece as her largest ever design.

Seller Lou Frances said when Noosa Shire Council discarded it decades ago, a quick-thinking friend salvaged it from the tip.

“The stunning chandelier is now a much-loved feature of the home,” Ms Frances said.

Ms Frances worked alongside local sustainable design experts Ecolibrium to create a home that barely needs artificial heating or cooling.

Core-filled blockwork, polished concrete floors, strategic louvres, breeze blocks and floor-to-ceiling tinted windows create natural temperature regulation year-round.

"The passive solar design means minimal energy costs," Ms Frances said.

"Combined with income from the cottage, it essentially costs us nothing to live here."

The property was developed over 20 years and has a striking four-bedroom main residence and a three-bedroom cottage constructed 130 metres away with separate road access - perfect for multi-generational living or rental income.

The main house showcases an eclectic blend of industrial, mid-century modern and contemporary Australian design.

Raw concrete, timber, glass and steel create spaces that flow seamlessly to wrap around verandas.

Three upstairs bedrooms with new walk-in robes overlook gallery spaces with glass balustrades, ensuring uninterrupted views across Black Mountain, Mt Cooroora, Pinbarren and Mothar Mountain.

Below, there are bonus spaces including a creative studio, workshop, and an 18-month-old 7m x 3m magnesium pool surrounded by travertine pavers.

The cottage, built entirely from reclaimed and upcycled materials, features bedrooms as separate pods, vintage character details, and coloured glass.

Perched on 1.72 pristine hectares, the property offers front-row seats to nature's theatre.

“Summer storms roll across mountain ranges, wedge-tail eagles circle overhead, and king parrots shelter on verandas during rain,” Ms Frances said.

“Established native gardens attract honeyeaters and black cockatoos to banksias and grevilleas.”

Located just 5km from Cooroy and Bruce Highway access, 29km from Noosa Main Beach, with easy reach of Eumundi, Pomona and Kenilworth.

"What I'll miss most is being part of the environment," said Ms Frances.

"But it's time for someone else to experience what we've created here."
