Exclusive Mandate - OUT OF AFRICA - Superb Gentlemans Residence . Exclusive Mandate - Majestically positioned high up on the ridge, with the plains, and Kromme River valley below, this imposing residence set on 100,000m2 boasts spectacular views of the river mouth and bay.
Facing north it is light and bright, and the sun streams in.
Every effort has been made to absorb the grandeur of the surroundings and the design amplifies all the benefits of living in this beautiful setting.
Like an island surrounded by emerald green, manicured lawns, the clean design is elegant and extremely practical.
Secured behind an automated gate and long driveway, that leads to the neat paved forecourt, the exceptional qualities of this property are immediately evident. Wandering calmly in the grounds below the homestead is a small herd of wildebeest.
North of the forecourt is an exceptionally neat garage complex. Two double doors, two lock-up stores, a small mezzanine, and stacks of rafter storage space, in total approximately 200m2 .
Enter the home via an aluminium and glass wind lobby, then through a wide pivot door to the extravagant double volume main living area. The northern end features a wide user friendly white and granite kitchen, sporting great appliances, a prep bowl, and access to a large scullery, laundry, drying yard and staff toilet. The wide granite island and central combustion fireplace set it apart from the dining room and double lounge.
Despite the attractiveness of this fabulous space, the most striking, most impressive and significant aspect are the room-wide stacking doors (must be 10m wide), that frame the most awe-inspiring views across the lowlands and river to the bay.
These impressive doors lead to a wrap around, undercover, semi-enclosed veranda , the most wonderful al fresco, informal living area, again blessed with incredible views. Whether night or day, this must be the most popular space in the home.
The western end culminates in a superb pub/man''s cave with toilet and a fireplace, whilst on the eastern end is an office with vistas that will make work a pleasure .
There are two bedrooms on the west, and two bedrooms on the east. All are roomy, with plentiful robe space, ceiling fans and en-suite bathrooms. The two north facing rooms are blessed with great views, and the master has a small dressing room, and direct access to the veranda.
The estate is served by well-designed infrastructure. Power is supplied via an invertor system, and water via a borehole with 25000 l of storage. Set off to the west, screened by a tall hedge is a one bedroomed, prefab staff cottage accommodating a very knowledgeable couple that have run the estate since its conception. Should it be required, this invaluable, much-loved couple are prepared to stay on for the new owners.
This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a unique and magnificent property , the likes of which I have not seen before. Please call me for a viewing.
