A 25 ha Fynbos Mountain Lifestyle Retreat In Somerset West With Sea Views

A 25 ha fynbos mountain lifestyle retreat with an unparalleled elevated location and 360 degrees of breathtaking mountain and sea views from the 4 bedroom manor and a separate cottage. A fully serviced site for a guesthouse is also available to develop. It is a fynbos indigenous heaven with a perennial and strong flowing crystal mountain stream attracting loads of bird and wildlife. The exquisite main house is designed to blend into the surrounding fynbos and mountainside. A rare natural and private retreat in every sense.

The owner has invested in an extensive solar panel system to ensure that they are completely of the grid. Due to the property’s perennial mountain water supply, no municipal water is needed or an alternative water source. There is a beautiful natural water feature: the water flows from within a cobbled pathway from the mountainside under the main entrance of the main house and around it, through the garden downwards into the dam at the managers cottage. It is a double storey building with large entertainment levels on the upper and bottom floor. There are 4 en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets. All the bedrooms face towards the sea with magnificent views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. There is a 5th separate en-suite bedroom or managers quarters with its own kitchenette at the lower level and at the back of the house. The house is designed in such a way, that there is a complete service passage and storage area (acts as a cellar) underneath the house – accessible from the outside and from the also lower level of the house. Please see the tagged entrance to the service hallway and manager’s quarters on the 3D model.

The whole manor house is protected by a well-designed and proven fire-fighting sprinkler system and has withstood, without any damage, the fire which has swept through the Hottentots-Holland mountain range during the last year. The top level of the house has a the kitchen/scullery, dining room and 2 sitting/lounge rooms with an easy flow via sliding doors to the balcony overlooking the pool. The views from the balcony and pool are really spectacularly beautiful. There are also 2 en-suite bedrooms at each corner of the house – each with its own balcony. The lower level is accessed via 2 solid wooden staircases. The lower level consists of 2 en-suite bedrooms and a large lounge/sitting room and kitchenette which makes entertainment around the pool easy.

All finishes are top quality. The rooms are all larger than normal with loads of light. There is a big double garage with an entrance to the kitchen and outside staff room. There is an access door to the service passage from the outside garden - should any maintenance be needed. On the side of the swimming pool is a cellar storeroom with a sliding door, where all pool equipment is kept. The garden is very low maintenance and blends totally with the surrounding fynbos. The managers cottage at the bottom of the property is located next to a catchment d...
