Question
Hello,
We are moving to the sunshine coast soon.Currently living in Leafy Surrey.Please can you reccomend some areas. My husband wants a lake/river view(My mother lives in Gippsland lakes VIC. but too cold and too far from a major city for me).
Ideally we would like some privacy-small acreage or even a house surrounded by trees! ie not  lots of treeless blocks next to each other!close to the coast and not too far from Brisbane.
Buderim seems nice but no CLOSE water views. Yes I know it's a hard one but there must be somewhere suitable?
Many thanks
Eva

Answer
G'day Eva,
        It is funny you mention Buderim, because that is the suburb that gets as close to what you want. Parts of Buderim will have water views, and also other parts will have acerage. Parts of Twin waters, Mudjimba, Bli Bli, Cotton Tree would also be suitable.

I would suggest Buderim will be the best spot.

Regards,
Frank
