Sunshine Coast welcomes two more luxury Prize Home winners

The Sunshine Coast Hinterland is filling up with winners of Endeavour Prize Homes as they move into their luxurious new houses.

But ironically the latest winners were living there already.

Winners of the most recent Endeavour Prize Home at Ormeau on the Gold Coast are long-term residents of Beerwah, and love their 30-acre property so much they don’t want to move to the posh new digs.

Unlike the winners of Prize Homes at Buderim and Maleny who couldn’t wait to move to their new homes, the current winners say they would be happy to sell the $700,000 lifestyle home at Ormeau and treat themselves to some much-needed R&R, including taking some time out to travel Australia.

“We would miss our hinterland home terribly if we moved, especially all the wild animals we have befriended over the years,” they said.

“Winning the Endeavour Prize Home has allowed us to take some time off to enjoy life and take a long-awaited holiday.

“Where are we going to move that offers a better lifestyle than this, even if the Ormeau Prize Home is more luxurious than our wildest dreams.”

And the Sunshine Coast can look forward to welcoming more wealthy winners, with the second Prize Home being offered this year at Maleny now open.

The first, the $771,500 country-style home at Maleny Meadows, was Endeavour’s most popular Prize Home in a decade, attracting record ticket sales earlier in the year.

It was won by a pair of Thornlands battlers who now call the picturesque Sunshine Coast Hinterland home.

Endeavour’s 10 Prize Home Lotteries each year provide a significant amount of revenue towards providing life-changing services for more than 3,200 Queenslanders with a disability.
