Cooroy is a beautiful place to live. Surrounded by lush rainforest, rolling hills, and picturesque countryside and is only a 20-minute drive to Noosa. The town itself boasts a welcoming community, rich history and its fair share of nooks and hidden places that will entice and delight first-time visitors as much as locals. It’s no wonder then that we decided to call Cooroy our home when we set up Countryside Realty Noosa over 20 years ago. So, we’d love to show you around our town and let you in on a few secrets, what we enjoy about being here and why we think it’s the perfect place to live… if you’re thinking about making a move.
