Noosa's Starlight Suite in Netanya sells for $5.5 million

Noosa's busy apartment market has seen another prestige sale with a $5.5 million beachfront deal.

It was an off market sale of the strip's best known apartment, The Starlight Suite in the Netanya beachfront resort on Hastings Street.

Its whisper quiet sale was through Richardson & Wrench Noosa agents Shane McCauley and Frank Milat.

The three bedroom penthouse with a study and two private terraces had previously belonged to Mike Chapman, the famed songwriter for wrote the words for the Tina Turner hit, Simply the Best.

Chapman bought a one and a two bedroom apartment, before commissioning Joan Moore of JDM Designs to create the combined 145 square metre space with 100 square metres of terraces.

It last sold for $3.65 million in 2014.

Last year the now US-based Chapman sold Cintamani, his redundant Noosa hinterland weekender, for $4.25 million. 

Noosa's busy Hastings Street recently saw a record $8.25 million sale, a three bedroom apartment in Twenty Three Hastings, earlier this year.

There's a record $11 million apartment being sought in the Noosa Court block through Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Roark Walsh.
