Taransay.​ ​Imagine​ ​the​ ​absolute​ ​exhilaration​ ​and​ ​majesty​ ​of​ ​a​ ​classic​ ​grand​ ​Queenslander,​ ​exquisite​ ​botanical-like​ ​gardens​ ​morphing​ ​north​ ​across​ ​a​ ​1.27ha​ ​gated​ ​estate,​ ​lily-covered​ ​lake​ ​with​ ​treasure​ ​trove​ ​of​ ​birdlife,​ ​and​ ​only​ ​20​ ​minutes​ ​to​ ​fabled​ ​Hastings​ ​Street​ ​and​ ​Noosa​ ​Main​ ​Beach.

Admire​ ​the​ ​tall​ ​wrought​ ​iron​ ​gates​ ​opening​ ​at​ ​the​ ​sandstone-pillared​ ​entrance​ ​to​ ​reveal​ ​a​ ​dramatic​ ​circular​ ​driveway​ ​sculpted​ ​by​ ​nature's​ ​best​ ​verdant​ ​offerings.​ ​Be​ ​in​ ​awe​ ​of​ ​the​ ​homage​ ​to​ ​Australia's​ ​cultural​ ​heritage​ ​almost​ ​encircled​ ​by​ ​its​ ​characteristic​ ​verandah​ ​with​ ​Royal​ ​Palm​ ​adorned​ ​butterfly​ ​staircase,​ ​poised​ ​sublimely​ ​and​ ​stealing​ ​the​ ​limelight​ ​in​ ​a​ ​pebbled​ ​forecourt.

Gallery-style​ ​shelved​ ​walls​ ​and​ ​cabinetry​ ​adorned​ ​with​ ​collectibles,​ ​artifacts,​ ​books,​ ​and​ ​paintings​ ​are​ ​augmented​ ​by​ ​a​ ​fireplace,​ ​while​ ​banks​ ​of​ ​glass​ ​panes​ ​and​ ​French​ ​doors​ ​open​ ​to​ ​the​ ​lengthy​ ​and​ ​wide​ ​tessellate-tiled​ ​verandah.​ ​It​ ​totally​ ​encapsulates​ ​the​ ​180​ ​degree-plus​ ​sweeping​ ​views​ ​across​ ​the​ ​estate​ ​and​ ​the​ ​National​ ​Park​ ​immediately​ ​beyond.

Also,​ ​a​ ​spectacular​ ​sight​ ​is​ ​looking​ ​over​ ​the​ ​luminescent​ ​pool,​ ​bathers​ ​pavilion​ ​and​ ​a​ ​studio​ ​set​ ​back​ ​above​ ​the​ ​pool​ ​with​ ​'Bather's​ ​Retreat'​ ​an​ ​apt​ ​plaque.​ ​Looking​ ​northward​ ​and​ ​similarly​ ​stunning​ ​is​ ​the​ ​truly​ ​expansive​ ​eventful​ ​terrace.​ ​It​ ​seemingly​ ​spills​ ​over​ ​sprawling​ ​lawns​ ​and​ ​gardens​ ​with​ ​a​ ​firepit​ ​area​ ​nearby​ ​that​ ​is​ ​somewhat​ ​cosseted​ ​by​ ​an​ ​arbour.

For​ ​those​ ​with​ ​a​ ​love​ ​of​ ​entertaining​ ​indoors​ ​and​ ​out,​ ​whatever​ ​the​ ​reason​ ​or​ ​season,​ ​options​ ​aplenty​ ​are​ ​complemented​ ​by​ ​the​ ​culinary​ ​heart,​ ​a​ ​sizeable​ ​kitchen​ ​with​ ​stone-topped​ ​benches​ ​including​ ​island​ ​breakfast​ ​bar​ ​and​ ​every​ ​high-end​ ​appliance​ ​and​ ​accoutrement​ ​to​ ​suit​ ​the​ ​likes​ ​of​ ​Nigella​ ​Lawson.

Elegance​ ​continues​ ​in​ ​the​ ​bedrooms​ ​and​ ​bathrooms​ ​including​ ​three​ ​on​ ​the​ ​upper​ ​level​ ​with​ ​brushbox​ ​flooring​ ​and​ ​plantation​ ​shutters.​ ​The​ ​premier​ ​suite​ ​retreat​ ​has​ ​verandah​ ​access,​ ​views,​ ​walk-in​ ​robe,​ ​ensuite​ ​with​ ​limestone​ ​walls,​ ​stone-topped​ ​cabinetry,​ ​and​ ​taking​ ​centre​ ​stage​ ​is​ ​the​ ​freestanding​ ​soaking​ ​bathtub.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​two​ ​similarly​ ​styled​ ​bedrooms,​ ​one​ ​north​ ​facing​ ​and​ ​one​ ​south,​ ​plus​ ​a​ ​bathroom.

Presenting​ ​more​ ​like​ ​a​ ​luxury​ ​guest​ ​suite​ ​is​ ​the​ ​lower-level​ ​north​ ​side​ ​with​ ​two​ ​bedrooms,​ ​each​ ​with​ ​a​ ​fireplace,​ ​also​ ​a​ ​walk​ ​in-robe,​ ​bathroom,​ ​and​ ​living/leisure​ ​space.​ ​Easy/direct​ ​access​ ​to​ ​the​ ​garden,​ ​garage,​ ​laundry​ ​mudroom​ ​and​ ​west​ ​side​ ​studio​ ​with​ ​fireplace,​ ​terrace,​ ​and​ ​views.
