A Masterclass in Bespoke Architectural Craft
19 The Promontory | Noosa Waters
Those familiar with the work of acclaimed designer Frank Macchia will instantly recognize the hallmarks of his artistry in this extraordinary waterfront residence. With a deep sensitivity to material, form, and flow, this is not simply a home-it is an architectural experience of the highest order.
A bold modernist composition, the home is defined by its sculptural peaks, hand-forged steel detailing, and a refined palette of slate, terrazzo, off-form concrete and richly stained timber-materials selected for their integrity, tactility and ability to age with elegance. Bespoke in every sense, this property reflects Macchia's rare ability to fuse design, craftsmanship and liveability in one seamless expression.
Set on nearly a quarter-acre of prime North facing land, with 721sqm under roof and 469sqm of internal living, the scale of the residence is generous yet never overwhelming-designed to balance expansive interiors with intimate outdoor moments. Indoor and outdoor living are effortlessly interwoven, honouring the rhythms of Queensland's subtropical climate.
A gated entrance leads to a striking freestanding studio or home office, crowned by a soaring 5-metre vaulted ceiling-its glass façade opening to views across the lap pool and Waterway beyond. Perfectly suited for executive meetings and creative work, this space sets the tone for what lies beyond.
At the heart of the home, a sun-drenched central courtyard becomes a moment of pause-anchoring the layout and drawing natural light deep into the interior. Running alongside, a 25-metre Italian glass mosaic tiled lap pool is framed by architectural structures, cascading waterfalls, and lush sky garden with planting that creates an immersive aquatic journey. Overhead, a fully-roofed entertaining terrace with separate access offers the ideal stage for alfresco dining and large gatherings, elevated to capture cooling breezes and water views in complete privacy.
The connection to the water is intrinsic. A private jetty extends the living experience out onto the waterway, bridging architecture and landscape in true Macchia fashion. Entering through a monumental glass sliding door, the home reveals itself gradually through a series of pavilion-like wings. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed hardwood beams, and carefully aligned sightlines give the home its open rhythm and enduring calm. These are spaces made for slow living, for beauty, and for presence.
Inside, materials speak in soft confidence: Zurich Brazilian Quartzite benchtops, Ebony and Japan Black timbers, brass cabinetry, glass mosaic splashbacks and custom Tasmanian oak timber and stacked slate stone detailing harmonise with sleek black timber veneer kitchen joinery. Premium Meile and Liebherr appliances are fully integrated, with a generous butler's pantry and concealed private bar adding practical luxury to the culinary experience. Every junction, finish and fitting has been designed with precision and purpose.
The main living area is framed by commanding granite columns that rise to support black deep-stained ceiling beams, their structural weight balanced by the warmth they bring. Light travels across the north–south roofline, creating a constantly shifting microclimate throughout the day.
Outdoor entertaining is exceptional. A concrete teppanyaki bar, wood-fired oven, refrigerated beer taps, and a waterside firepit provide a suite of experiences-each space inviting conversation, relaxation, and celebration beneath the stars. A hand-crafted Queensland hardwood fireplace warms the primary living zone, while the home theatre offers a private retreat surrounded by timber and glass louvres-both intimate and immersive. Two additional bedrooms, a casual lounge, and two bathrooms complete the lower-level accommodation with flexibility and ease.
Upstairs, the master retreat spans the length of the home, elevated to capture soft light and water views. Floor-to-ceiling timber louvres provide control over light and privacy, while the suite flows to an expansive private terrace, dual his-and-hers ensuites, a central owner's lounge, and a lavish dressing room-creating a sanctuary of rare sophistication.
A self-contained guest suite, accessed separately from the upper terrace, enjoys views across the manicured front gardens and mature poinciana canopy, offering peaceful separation and autonomy for visitors or long-stay guests. Framed by mature flowering poinciana Trees and a commanding façade that faces the boulevard, the home is not only architecturally significant-it is deeply connected to its landscape and place. The result is a property that feels timeless, grounded, and truly one-of-a-kind.
Located on the exclusive cul-de-sac of The Promontory, this North-to-water residence occupies a prized position in one of Noosa Waters' most prestigious streets. This home has a current DA approval for holiday letting, There is a rare serenity here-moments from the world-class dining of Gympie Terrace, the beauty of the Noosa River, and the coastal energy of Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach-yet quietly removed, on the gentle edge of it all.
For those seeking enduring luxury, masterful design, and a home with soul, 19 The Promontory is simply without peer.
