It’s no secret that our Prize Home team love the Sunshine Coast. And what’s not to love? With 60kms of stunning white sand beaches, punctuated by pandanus-crowned rocky headlands, a coveted outdoorsy lifestyle, and a supremely relaxed beachy vibe, the Sunny Coast (as it’s affectionately known) is a no-brainer when it comes to choosing a Prize Home location.
And while there are dozens of pockets along this amazing coastline that are all Prize Home worthy, our team can’t help but be drawn back to Caloundra’s beautiful Pelican Waters.
So, what is it about this waterfront community that makes it the perfect location for a luxury Prize Home?
1. Your slice of paradise: Waterfront living at its best
Sought after for its luxurious waterfront homes (like our $3.1 million Endeavour Prize Home), family-friendly community, and direct canal access to Pumicestone Passage and the ocean beyond, Pelican Waters offers the very best in Sunshine Coast real estate and a lifestyle by the water that is truly hard to match. With the protected waters of Golden Beach and Caloundra just up the road and then kilometres of the best surfing spots extending north up the coast, there is no end to the fun to be had on, or by, the water in this coastal paradise.
2. Easy access to the bright lights of Brisvegas and beyond
Located at the southernmost end of the Sunshine Coast, Pelican Waters has the huge advantage of being only 50 minutes from the Brisbane Gateway, which means you can nip into town and enjoy the perks of city life and still be back to your blissful Sunny Coast base before the tide has turned. Conversely, if you’re based in Brisbane, it’s the perfect weekender location because when Friday afternoon finally rolls around, you can be out of the city and enjoying dinner by the water before the sun sets.
And when you consider that you’re also just 30 minutes from the Sunshine Coast Airport, with an arrivals board full of domestic and international destinations, this amazing coastal location is a never very far from anywhere.
3. A community on the move
Like the changing sands of northern Bribie and Pumicestone Passage, this coastal community is also continually evolving. Caloundra has long been a family favourite where protected beaches and a bundle of classic fish and chips are guaranteed to be on the menu. But what’s exciting is you’ll also find that cute indie cafés and buzzing modern restaurants are popping up between the old faithfuls, creating a unique blend that’s as interesting as it is charming. There’s even an award-winning boutique brewery – yes, we’re looking at you Moffat Beach Brewing Co.
4. An ocean playground just outside your door
With something like a jet ski (included in first prize) the protected waters of Pumicestone Passage are a virtual playground for water sports.
With direct ocean access literally from your back doorstep, the Passage and beyond is essentially your backyard.
Depending on the season and the conditions, on any given day you could see kite surfers, standup paddleboarders, kayakers and boaties all enjoying this amazing part of the world. So, whether you like to carve it up or throw in a line in the open sea, this place is the definition of heaven.
5. Greg Norman approved golf course
While it’s hard to look past the waterfront location, let’s not forget that Pelican Waters is also home to an internationally renowned, Greg Norman designed, 18-hole golf course. Imagine teeing off on a world-class course just a stone's throw from your luxury home. So, if you’re quite partial to getting up before the birds on a Sunday morning and partaking in an early morning round – we got you. And it’s nice to know that Australia’s own golfing legend has given Pelican Waters his tick of approval, making this location a golfer’s dream.
6. Waterfront living at its best
Aside from living on a boat, this is about as close as you can get to really living on the water. Thanks to clever design that makes the most of the waterfront location, whether you’re in entertaining friends around the kitchen island or unwinding with a good book, everyday life is set to the soothing soundtrack of the lapping water just metres away. This is waterfront living at its best, where every day feels like a vacation.
