Surf shack on one of Australia’s most popular beaches hits the market for a bargain $15,000… but there’s a catch
- A former Surf Lifesaving Club is now up for sale for staggering price of $15,000
- The surf shack was once the Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club before being replaced
- Now the small surf shack has been put up for sale on Facebook Marketplace
- The Noosa Heads area boasts a median house price of $870,000
A surf shack which once held pride of place in one of Australia’s most picturesque beaches has hit the market at an amazingly low cost.
The former Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club building, a small wooden shack built in the 1930s, comes at modest size and with an even more modest price of $15,000.
With its traditional Queenslander style make up and racks in the roof designed for surf board storage, the shack would be the perfect acquisition for a surf lover.
But there’s a twist.
