15 Ravenwood Drive, Noosa Heads (Mojito)

Intoxicating, effervescent and packed with personality, this spectacular home draws its luxurious style and spirit from one of the world’s most popular cocktails – with the fizz, fun and name to match. Nestled on the waterfront in exclusive Noosa Sound, Mojito offers a rare blend of zest and energy, sophistication and coastal charm. Artfully executed from the smallest detail to the grandest flourish, it could be lifted straight from the pages of a prestigious homes magazine, with a slew of design awards to boot, including the title for national Family Holiday House of the Year.

Offering four bedrooms, the property unfolds across two spacious levels that have been thoughtfully zoned to encourage togetherness while also facilitating moments of quiet and contemplation. The set-up makes it ideal for playing host to families, friends or a combination of the two.

Set behind a privacy fence, all the action unfolds through a set of exquisite timber doors positioned under the watchful eye of decorative guards, whose very presence hints at the decadent visual feast to come. The impact begins on the first step inside, where a glamorous entryway makes a star of a sparkling chandelier. Counterpoint is a stunning feature wall that has been painted in a vibrant and vivacious shade of red. And when it comes to putting hot hues on show, it’s far from alone.

Throughout the interiors, the bold use of colour is a frequently reappearing theme, from blocks of purple and rainbows of blue to tropical-themed wallpaper and combinations of red, yellow, burgundy, teal, green and purple that become greater than the sum of their parts. Done with a polished perfection to strike just the right note, the rainbow-like mix creates a buzzing, energetic mood that still allows for a softer ambience where required.

Taking advantage of Noosa’s beautiful climate, the home makes extensive use of banks of glass to flood the rooms with warm sunshine and spotlight the beautiful surrounds. The focus on natural elements continues in the spacious bedrooms, where an extensive use of timber and natural textures, alongside carefully chosen artistic accents, helps create the feel of private havens.

Downstairs, the lifestyle hub includes a well-equipped kitchen to inspire creative home chefs, a roomy dining zone, inviting lounge and separate games room kitted out with a foosball table. Signature lighting, intriguing objets d’art and walls that serve as mini art galleries carry a sense of interest throughout the rooms, before drawing the eyes to an outdoorscape that is less a backyard and more a tropical oasis.

Oriented towards the emerald waters of its canal cul-de-sac, this landscaped space – where lush plantings help ensure privacy – is the perfect entertaining zone. Centred around fun and family, its centrepiece is a magnesium mineral water pool (12.5m) complete with in-pool bubblers. Solar-heated for year-round enjoyment, it’s the ideal spot to work up an appetite before firing up the barbecue for alfresco undercover dining or settling down on a sunlounger. Beyond the tiled pool surrounds, a security fence gives access to the home’s sandy stretch of beach, an ideal perch from which to cast in a line, feed the ducks or launch one of the stand-up paddleboards provided. Adventure can also be had on foot, with vibrant Hastings St, idyllic Main Beach and lush Noosa National Park only a few hundred metres away. From swimming to surfing, fine dining to photography and bushwalking to bargain hunting, the cosmopolitan tourist hub offers something for everyone to enjoy. You can even indulge in a cocktail or two in the spirit of your home away from home. Make yours a Mojito.
