Green rolling paradise

Lines of mature trees swaying in the breezes, pristine fairways, rolling greens, sparkling watertraps and a tiny fluttering flag. For those who adore the game, or just like soaking up the ambience that surrounds an international golfing resort, there are real estate options available that literally let you live that sporting life.

Nestled at the heart of the renowned Hyatt Coolum golf resort on the Sunshine coast, the new Visage residences from Lend Lease Development present just such a lifestyle opportunity. The resort is a 150ha site with a 1.2km private beachfront only 90 minutes drive from Brisbane. Visage's 40 light-filled homes literally sit between the manicured fairways and greens of the 12th and 17th fairway of the golf course.

The project focus was to create dwellings that provide true golf course living and a lifestyle associated with one of Australia's finest resorts, says Lend Lease project director Murray Middleton.

"Besides the sights and sounds of the golf links, living at Visage brings residents privileged access to a tennis centre complete with seven courts, a sun spa facility, an array of restaurants, a fitness centre, and a beach club with patrolled surf beaches," says Middleton. "There are also seven outdoor swimming pools, an array of retails amenities and a kids' club all in close proximity."

The 28 detached homes are all generously proportioned with open-plan designs and well appointed with high-end fittings and European appliances. A sense of space and light runs through all the designs, created by extensive floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows and private courtyards that let sunlight directly into the heart of the homes.

The Visage apartment buildings have an understated, refined look in keeping with the greater Hyatt Coolum community. The apartments also feature spacious interiors opening onto generous balconies, with natural colour schemes inspired by the surrounding environment.

"Visage has attracted a number of Landscaping Awards, and all residences maximise the interaction with their environment at every turn," says Middleton. "The extensive decking, private courtyards and the swimming pools found on most properties all provide residents with the feeling of actually being part of the lush surroundings."
