THE co-founder of Australian fashion label, Matteau, has sold her dream home in the Noosa hinterland for $1.72 million.
The stunning property at 59 Laguna Grove in Doonan attracted a slew of inquiries from potential buyers looking for a lifestyle change in the wake of COVID-19 before selling to a NSW couple.

The replica four-bedroom Queenslander sits on 5000 sqm of land, 15 minutes from Noosa’s Main Beach and 20 minutes from the Sunshine Coast Airport.
Peta Heinsen and her husband, Chad, had lived in the property for the past four years and completely renovated it.
They are moving closer to the beach with their three children and two dogs.
“We were toying with the idea (of selling) before COVID, then COVID hit and we got cold feet, but it’s become evident that it’s a bit more of an opportunity than we realised,” Mrs Heinsen told The Courier-Mail.
“We love this house – it’s been a hard decision to sell. We came from Sydney originally four years ago, so that was a big lifestyle change for us. We really wanted the space, and the kids were younger. Now, we want to experience of living by the beach.”
Mrs Heinsen said the property was the perfect place to work from home or to quarantine in.
Renovated to blend traditional character with modern finishes, the home itself is light and airy with a homely, neutral decor.
The bedrooms, bathrooms and open plan living all connect with a wraparound veranda, while the kitchen is modern and minimal, with integrated appliances.
Mrs Heinsen co-owns Matteau with her sister, Ilona Hamer, who lives in New York.
