AREC: Third Home founder Wade Shealy on reimagining the holiday home market 02:55
A Victorian number cruncher selling one of Brisbane's flashiest homes has paid almost $17 million for a waterfront Noosa pad.
Mark Seery of MDS Accounting & Financial Services and his wife, Lisette, are understood to be the buyers of the luxurious property at 78 Noosa Parade in Noosa Heads.
The property had previously been owned by Russell Jones, the former boss of packaging giant Amcor, who paid just $1.725m for the prize site back in 1999.

Three bidders vied for the Noosa Heads home at the Tom Offermann Real Estate auction, before it sold under-the-hammer for $16.95m.
Featuring five bedrooms and three bathrooms, 78 Noosa Parade was recently refurbished and features organic materials including aged timbers, Italian limestone, cedar, as well as a jetty with a pontoon, and a horizon-edge heated pool.
Noosa continues to be a popular spot for those with deep pockets.

Down the street, a jawdropping, waterfront home in Wyuna Drive is about to hit the market with a similar price tag.
The property, which was designed by Paul Clout and built by Poyzer Sawyer, will hit the market soon with Adrian Reed of Reed & Co.
Billionaire Gina Rinehart has also been spotted looking at homes in the area recently, accompanied by her security motorcade.

She owns a number of properties in Mossman Court and still holds the record for the biggest sale in Noosa for her $34m purchase in Webb Rd, Sunshine Beach.
Meanwhile, the Seerys have listed their iconic riverfront home at 29 Laidlaw Pde, East Brisbane, which was regarded as so decadent it became known as the 'Gucci mansion'.
With a bold, black European-inspired facade and colourful interiors, the property sold in less than three months during the height of the property boom in 2022.
They paid $12.5 million for the glamorous property three years ago and it is now for sale with Matt Lancashire of Ray White The Collective via an expressions of interest campaign.
The bold and dramatic interiors of the home were designed by renowned interior designer Greg Natale, while the standout black build was crafted by CHS Building.
