An external door to the fifth bedroom leads to parking spaces in the front entrance courtyard. Plans have been drawn up with various layouts, incorporating proposed full en-suite bathrooms.

This Architect designed, single-level home epitomises elegant simplicity and effortlessly encapsulates a fusion of Provencal style with Madagascan and Indian influences in the artwork, furniture, fittings, and original re-purposed doors. Warm shades of terracotta and coral are prevalent throughout, enhancing the exotic experience.
The impressive entrance hall leads to an open plan music room, through to a large family/TV room and an exquisitely designed gourmet kitchen with a central podium, compact cellar/bar counter, and crockery storage cupboard. A further separate dining room and formal lounge, with a statement fireplace, provides privacy for quiet reflection or entertainment. A charming courtyard garden, with potted plants, leads from the formal lounge through carved wooden and glass double doors.
The easy indoor/outdoor flow to an extensive covered patio is just miraculous and allows space for dining outdoors, plus relaxation in the sparkling pool and rim-flow Jacuzzi. The holiday resort ambiance is further enhanced by a stunning, tropical garden with mature trees, lush lawn, trickling water features, Koi pond, Inca lilies, ferns, fuchsias, New Guinea Impatience, and a profusion of well-tended shrubs and plantings.
The tastefully decorated master bedroom, with space for a king-sized bed, expansive dressing room, and a full en-suite bathroom, boasts a blend of soft and bold shades in paintwork and furnishings.
Two further spacious bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, provide a luxury living experience for family or guests. All three North-facing bedrooms have views of the Koi pond, delicately bubbling water-feature and water lilies, completing the peace and tranquility of the view. American shutters provide security, privacy, and shade, as required.
Two further bedrooms, with an en-suite cloakroom off the fourth bedroom, have previously been used as a substantial Art Studio and large office, in the East wing. A wrap-around covered verandah, own garden and access to three parking spaces through a separate entrance, creates a private, dual living, AirBnB, rental or home office/studio option. The original Architect has drawn up a set of plans with various layouts, incorporating additional en-suite bathrooms.
Additional features provide comfort and practical usages, such as heated towel rails, underfloor heating, air conditioning, 6 hands-free intercoms, loudspeaker under eaves on the main patio for the front doorbell, standby power systems, sophisticated security systems, CCTV cameras, automated garden lighting, alternative water supply tanks and a comprehensive irrigation system.
A dressage arena, measuring 57m X 19m, totalling 1 083 square metres, can either be utilized for equestrian use or provide for the construction of additional dwellings, on a future sectionalised basis.
