Featuring unsurpassed sea views, this luxurious villa has been designed and
built with sensitivity to the environment and to the needs of the most discerning clients. It
is set on 600 acres on South Africa's Sunshine Coast, between Port Alfred and
East London. A river runs along the western border of the property, and the Indian
Ocean is to the south. With game roaming freely, and a profusion of native plants, this
property feels like a private nature reserve. The villa itself epitomizes "out of
Africa" living with its "African adobe" design. The three main living rooms take full
advantage of the property's position with magnificent views of the coast and valleys. You
can relax in luxury by the large private pool and watch bottle-nosed dolphins as
they frolic along the shoreline, and from August to January, you can view the majestic
southern right whales pass by.
The central courtyard with a small, heated
plunge pool and a pizza oven provides a delightful retreat for windy days. The
outside areas include a covered patio overlooking the large heated spill-over pool and
offering a 180° view of the ocean. You can enjoy surf-fishing right in front of the villa, and
sailing, jet-skiing, and hiking in the vicinity.
The villa is beautifully decorated,
with a collection of artwork from across Africa, and includes 6 bedrooms; 6 bathrooms;
living area with walk-in bar and an open fireplace set in a sunken conversation
pit; games room, featuring a home theater with the latest in audiovisual
technology, including a 62-inch screen with satellite TV, DVD, video and Nicam stereo
surround-sound; and fully equipped open kitchen with state-of-the-art equipment
including electric ovens and hob as well as a gas grill and two gas plates, large walk-in
cold room and freezer. The two end bedrooms are en suite, each with king-size beds and
air conditioning. The two center bedrooms each offer two three-quarter beds
and are both en suite and air-conditioned. The family suite provides accommodation for
four additional people in two bedrooms, a king-size bed and two three-quarter beds, one
large bathroom with walk-in shower, and a large living area with kitchen.
