Using augmented polarized correlation consistent basis sets extended with midbond functions, we evaluate the ground state interaction potential and the induced electric dipole polarizabilities and first and second hyperpolarizabilities of the He-Ar, Ne-Ar and He-Ne van der Waals complexes. For the calculation of the potential we resort to the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) model corrected for triple excitations, CCSD(T), whereas properties are evaluated with CCSD response theory. As a check of the quality of the potential, the rovibrational spectrum and the gas second virial coefficients are evaluated. The rovibrational spectra improve previously available theoretical results, although the dissociation energies are probably still slightly underestimated. For the gas second virial coefficients the agreement with experiment is satisfactory. The frequency dependence of the interaction (hyper)polarizabilities is analysed and a comparison with previous results on the mixed dimers and the pure gases is made.
