Former Noosa Surf Club could be $15,000 bargain

A piece of Queensland’s surf life saving history has hit the market with a bargain basement price in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the state.

The Noosa Surf Club of the 1930s is a far less grand affair than the one that now boasts a prime position on fashionable Hastings Street, but the original was built to stand the test of time and comes with loads of charm.

The simple structure that stood on stumps in the sand dunes nearly 90 years ago has ended up on Facebook Marketplace, where it is being advertised for sale for the price of a small car — just $15,000.

It’s a measly amount compared to surrounding properties in the area.

The 5.3m x 7.3m x 4.2m shack, with rafters purpose-built for surfboard storage still intact, can be picked up from Doonan, where the median house price is $870,000, according to property researcher CoreLogic.

The advertisement describes the property as a “charming old Queensland surf shack seeking new custodian” and continues by saying it “would make (a) marvellous cottage, studio, guest room, et cetera”.

Seller Damon Bereziat declined to comment.

The building was reportedly used as the ‘Tip Top Tip Shop’ at the Noosa Refuge Station prior to finding its way online.

Despite its age, the timber floorboards, rafters and roof are in good condition.
