Fronting the calm waters of Pumicestone Passage, Golden Beach has long been a forgotten fishing village at the southern tip of Caloundra. But the fibro beach shacks have now made way for a string of luxurious new waterfront apartment developments with penthouses pushing up to the $2 million price tag.

Boutique waterfront apartment projects at Golden Beach are not only setting new price benchmarks for Caloundra, but are selling out rapidly off-the-plan as buyers scramble to secure their slice of the winning combination of absolute waterfront positions and contemporary architectural style.

These standards, fueled by strong market demand for upmarket waterfront properties, have now flowed through a strong of highly successful waterfront apartment developments fronting Golden Beach.

Casa Ciello offers one of the most sought-after lifestyles on the Sunshine Coast, with views over the calm boating and fishing waters of the Pumicestone Passage marine park, the northern tip of Bribie Island, the night lights of Caloundra City and west to the Glasshouse Mountains.

The superior finishings are inspiring, and the location will have you wondering why you would live elsewhere.

People are drawn to the absolute waterfront location, the growing cafe and restaurant scene and it's proximity to the Greg Norman-designed Pelican Waters Golf Course. It is also just a short drive to the surf beaches, restaurants and shopping of the Caloundra CBD and only one hour north of Brisbane.

Supply of waterfront land in the area is now almost completely exhausted and the new developments taking shape have enjoyed immediate market success.

Casa Ciello, the latest development released at Golden Beach by local syndicate Lamptrex Pty Ltd, which boasts five apartments over four levels and a huge 39 metres of direct water frontage. This is undoubtedly one of the best sites in all of Golden Beach and the sophisticated style of Casa Ciello will enhance the unrivalled waterfront location. Prices range from $950,000.
