Historic Buderim sanctuary sells for $2.85M at auction

The architectural masterpiece, at Residence Six, 21 Clearview Court, Buderim, sold under the hammer for $2.85 million at the recent Avani in-room auction event.

Ray White Mooloolaba sales agent Jacob Hussey said the result marks a triumphant end to a structured auction campaign, which successfully generated intense market interest where previous listings had stalled.

“The bespoke five-bedroom, three-bathroom property attracted competitive interest on auction day, drawing two registered and highly active bidders, alongside several conditional parties watching closely,” Mr Hussey said.

Mr Hussey said the estate was secured by a local Buderim-based couple.

“The buyers are actually local farmers themselves, and they genuinely appreciated everything this extraordinary property has to offer,” Mr Hussey said.

“They weren’t even actively looking to purchase another home, but they saw the property through our campaign’s media outreach and realised it was a rare opportunity they simply couldn't pass up.

“Their plan is to enjoy the home for what it is and potentially move into it themselves down the track. We really felt they were the perfect candidates to inherit this incredible legacy.

“From a market perspective, this property is a great example of the difference the right campaign, strategy, and exposure can make, particularly for a unique asset like this.”

The sale marks a poignant moment for the Wise family, Mr Hussey said.

Peter Wise, who passed away in 2024, was so devoted to his land that his family could rarely convince him to step away, even for a quick "smoko" break.

His daughters, Amanda and Kylie Wise, said their mother, Ivy, now in her 80s, is ready to downsize from the expansive estate.
