Step inside the unique Noosa home that leaves passers-by speechless – and discover the breathtaking features behind the eye-watering price tag
A unique house with 360 degree panoramic views of the ocean and mountains amazes thousands of people with its spectacular design and ‘quiet luxury’ style.
The breathtaking five-bedroom home, affectionately known as ‘Amar’, is located in Queensland’s Noosa Hinterland near Cooroy Mountain and is for sale for a staggering $12 million.
The ‘perfect’ location is minutes away from the vibrant town of Noosa and offers the ideal mix of seclusion and community living.
Jared Clout, son of renowned, award-winning designer Paul Clout, told FEMAIL he had his eye on the site for almost eight years before finally purchasing the land in 2019.
“When I first came up with the idea for the house, I wanted it to be a viewing platform because it would provide panoramic views from the ocean to the mountains to the west,” he said.
‘I wanted to make the ground floor of the house a large viewing platform, without any obstacles.’
Mr. Clout wanted to keep the design ‘simple but tasteful’ and let the view speak for itself.

When designing Amar, Mr. Clout opted for perfectly framed vistas, clean lines and open spaces, so that you remain completely at one with the surroundings.
Amar has five spacious bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, decorated with details of natural stone and wood.
“We have equipped the house with every convenience you could wish for: a wine cellar, a whisky room, a sauna and a gym,” said Mr. Clout.
The infinity pool offers views of Cooroy Mountain and the Noosa coastline, making you feel like you are floating above the mountain top.
The living room is described as an ‘oasis of comfort’ because of the cozy gas fireplace and warm tones.
Large sliding doors offer unobstructed views of the beautiful landscape, making you feel at one with nature.

The wine cellar is also located near the whisky room, which is made of cedar from floor to ceiling and gives the room a subtle earthy scent.
Amar also features a three-car garage, a cinema room and a private elevator.

Mr. Clout said he was inspired by South American architectural styles and wanted to emulate the beautiful buildings in Brazil
It took 12 months to finalise the design and get it ‘absolutely perfect’ and another 18 months to build it
Mr Clout said Amar was a “passion project” for him and that the house is a very personal build.
“I’ve wanted to build a house on this piece of land for so long, it’s surreal that it’s finally here,” he said.

Mr. Clout said he was inspired by the South American architectural style and wanted to emulate the beautiful buildings in Brazil.
“The thin lines and large, floating slabs with big cantilevers are a bit like what you see in Brazilian architecture,” he said.
“It’s a warm take on things. We used wine-colored walls and microcement to recreate it.”
The architect said he felt “fortunate” to have played a role in Amar’s development, but that he already has his sights set on another project for the future.
