This contemporary Johan Slee architecture, with a solid copper roof, has light and air as an imperative. It is owner-built with enormous care using imported fittings and finishes - what an opportunity this is for a superb living!

Double gated security and two motor courts greet one before reaching the huge front door. Once inside, one looks through the spectacular diamond-shaped arch under the double staircase through a tall window framing two graceful Moooi hanging lights, and out to the garden and pool.

On one side of the reception area is the spacious family lounge, which is open-plan with the chef's kitchen, and has sliders to the dining room with its central Tom Dixon copper light fittings. The covered entertainment patio flows from the dining room to the extensive pool deck surrounding the heated pool, plus to a boma with deck seating, a central firepit, attractive lighting, and an automated roof cover.

Near the centre island in the gourmet kitchen, is a breakfast space that overlooks an attractive pond and fountain, and a beautiful glass passage, with numerous glass doors on each side that flows to the cottage. A second kitchen is behind the gourmet kitchen and has the scullery/ laundry and pantry on one side and a large Gaggenau stove with gas hob, plus working surfaces on the other. This section has sliders into the dining room.

On the other side of the reception area is the formal lounge with fireplace, and guest bedroom suite, both of which open onto the pool deck with sliders. The guest cloakroom has a huge window looking onto a pond with a fountain flowing down a copper waterfall. A staircase to the lower level lead to the entertainment/ cinema room with shelving, fitted caesarstone surfaces and basin, a large screen, and a projector, that opens onto the lower level garden which flows down to a grassy, treed 'forest' area (perfect for children to play in!). Four Jo-Jo tanks for water are stored in the lower part of the house.

Upstairs, the huge main suite has a large bedroom/ lounge with balconies and shutters on two sides. The suite flows around a courtyard, which is the centre focus of 'his' and 'hers' bathrooms and dressing areas, as well as a sauna, plus a kitchenette with fitted cupboards, basin, and filtered water.

Two further bedrooms upstairs have balconies with shutters, fitted dressing rooms, and bathrooms en-suite, one has a full bathroom, and one with shower, basin, and toilet. The spacious gym room/study has solid oak flooring.

The cottage has a lounge/kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. The staff suite has a bedroom, bathroom, and lounge/kitchen, and the guardhouse has a corner window for good visibility, a large screen for monitoring 16 cameras, plus a toilet and basin. A huge John Deere generator provides power to the whole property.
