On the BlueKingfisher Creek, , South Africa Gastehuis | (POA) |
Occupying a prime spot along the sought-after Sedgefield lagoon, within walking distance of the lagoon mouth, this home is truly a rare find.
Built on three levels in the Italian style reminiscent of Tuscany, an imposing entrance, high windows and vaulted ceilings create an aesthetic ideally suited to a guest house or an imposing family home.
Voluminous rooms, stone floors and wrought iron add to the drama and the views from the interior and two terraces are simply magnificent - of the tide as it ebbs and flows through the estuary mouth and the fishermen along the water's edge, the paragliders riding the thermals of Cloud nine, serene mountainscape over the water or sunset over the sea.
Built on three levels, the main living level comprises the main lounge and dining area and a large study, each opening onto the view terrace, an enormous kitchen, with separate large scullery, laundry and separate linen room. The kitchen has sash windows and African Rosewood cupboards with stone floors.
The top level includes two very spacious carpeted bedrooms en-suite. The main en-suite opens to a view terrace and the second bedroom opens to a private terrace with lovely green views.
From the entrance, a staircase leads down to the lower level to an open plan area currently used as a gym, flanked by a wine cellar and several store rooms and a wide passage to two guest suites. Each suite has a spacious bedroom en-suite to a full bathroom, spacious kitchenette and separate own lounge leading out to a private garden.
The garden space is level, enjoys water views and has two built in barbeques, ideal for entertaining. The property is fully walled with a well-sized double garage with direct access into the home and paved, off street parking for several additional vehicles. The lane providing access to the property is closed off with an automatic gate, shared by a few neighbours and there is a second driveway gate leading onto the property.
