luxury apartment with terrace for sale Maroochydore, Australia

Sotheby's International Realty (Maroochydore) proudly presents 'Asgard'. 400m above sea level, atop one of the highest summits of the Glasshouse Mountains, stands 'Asgard'. Named after Norse mythology's celestial home of the Gods, Asgard is an otherworldly architectural masterpiece that rests upon the summit of the Glasshouse House Mountains. Design & Architecture Built in 2020, Asgard was designed by the renowned Dan Sparks of Sparks Architects and in 2021 received the coveted Australian Institute of Architects Commendation Award for Residential Architecture. Profiled in numerous publications, including The Design Files, The Local Project and Prestige Property Magazine, the contemporary mountaintop retreat incorporates vast expanses of glazed glass which allow for breathtaking views. Inspired by the natural surroundings and captivating panoramas, the main residence features a dual pavilion, L-shaped design for optimal space, privacy, flow and convergence with nature. Architect Dan Sparks describes Asgard as ...a home from which one can immerse oneself in nature and the greater landscape, or where one can pull back from it and observe in comfort. Set on 11.6 glorious acres, this extraordinary estate boasts sweeping 360° views of one of Australia's most iconic natural destinations - the Glasshouse Mountains-along with the coastline, hinterland, and ocean. Asgard is a rare fusion of intuitive design, bespoke craftsmanship, and refined sustainable luxury. Asgard's main residence features an L-shaped, dual-pavilion layout that maximises space, privacy, and flow. Extensive use of engineered glazed glass connects the home to its natural surroundings, offering thermal insulation, security, and awe-inspiring views. The home's Shou Sugi Ban (焼杉板) Ironbark cladding, a traditional Japanese timber treatment, offers resistance to fire, water, and termites while adding striking visual appeal. Eco Outdoor Wamberal Freeform® stone highlights the entryway, complementing the home's earthy tones and sleek lines. Inside, three-layered tongue and groove oak floors provide a soft contrast to darker finishes. The home spans two wings connected above a partially subterranean level. The living wing boasts a gourmet kitchen with engineered black granite benchtops, Miele appliances, a Zip sparkling water system, and a butler's pantry. A spacious dining and lounge area features soaring ceilings, a picture window, bifold doors, and a Rinnai gas fireplace, all flowing onto the alfresco deck, complete with built-in BBQ and bar fridge. The master retreat includes a walk-in wardrobe, opulent ensuite with a freestanding soak tub, and stunning views. The second wing hosts three more ensuited bedrooms with built-ins and mountain views, plus a study nook and flexible sitting room. Below, the fifth bedroom, home gym, 4-person infrared sauna, and laundry offer even more versatility-ideal for dual living or guest accommodation. Second Residence Tucked privately behind the main home is a spacious, architecturally designed second dwelling (also designed and built in 2020 with the original residence) - perfect for guests, Airbnb, home office, or an artist's retreat. It includes a master suite, designer bathroom, gourmet kitchen, living/dining zones, gas fireplace, air conditioning, and a large alfresco deck. Car accommodation includes a 10.6m covered and 6.9m uncovered carport. Location Despite its serene mountaintop position, Asgard is just 10 minutes from Landsborough and Beerwah, 25 minutes from Caloundra's beaches, and under 35 minutes to the Sunshine Coast Airport and Maroochydore CBD
