YOUR DREAM HOME WITH ELEGANCE AND SPACE IN BRACKENRIDGE

JOINT MANDATE

As you step across the threshold, the overwhelming impression is of light-filled spaciousness. The design, with its high ceilings and pale laminated wood floors and tiles, painted throughout in delicate shades of white and silvery grey, all contribute to the sense of understated elegance and good taste which is the keynote of this classic dwelling.

Each part of the open plan living area is spacious and perfect for entertainment - the owners regularly entertain about thirty guests. Although open plan, the lounge is artfully embraced by three walls and a wide entrance, cosy yet roomy, with a fireplace and underfloor heating, The dining area flows naturally out through folding doors onto the large L-shaped verandah complete with built-in braai, which in turn leads onto the pretty garden and pool. There is another verandah on the other side of the house and you may be sure that if one is cool, the other will be warm and sunny!

The generous kitchen has a wide freestanding counter and a gas hob with an electric oven. The scullery is neatly arranged to accommodate dishwasher, washer and dryer, conveniently opening onto a little yard where you will also find an outside toilet. The small geyser installed in the scullery is frequently used in preference to the main geyser, representing a considerable reduction to the electricity account.

The master bedroom has a wooden laminated floor, an air conditioner and a full bathroom including a bidet. With a tangle of trees right outside the window, you are blessed to awaken to the sound of birdsong. The main guest room has a ceiling fan and full bathroom, plus a separate guest toilet close by. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom. Below stairs is a double garage with plenty of shelving and a storage room. In this hilly estate, it is a boon to have a flat driveway and there is parking for eight cars. The garden is grassed and your privacy assured by a thickly treed perimeter. Wherever you are in this delightful place there is a sense of light, space and uncluttered elegance. And it is perfectly maintained.

This is a lifestyle home: if you are an outdoor person who loves nature and are ecologically aware you will feel utterly at home here. The house is on a rise affording you a sweeping view across the valley to the Indian Ocean and the Tsitsikamma mountains. Brackenridge is a nature reserve of 128ha, with nine kilometres of road as well as walking trails through the large tracts of fynbos, where you are likely to spot the small animals that have their home here as well as many indigenous birds. The feeling of being out in nature is enhanced by the neighbours: Plett Golf Course on one side and on the other the renowned Robberg Peninsula Reserve. And only five minutes from the town centre! Yet there is no sound of traffic, though sometimes you can hear the pounding of surf on the beach!

The estate veers toward self-sufficiency having its own aquifer and filtration plant, supplying water to all the residents. In the event of a power outage, generators supply electricity to all estate light and security installations.

Security is top notch – no need for individual alarm systems (although there are burglar bars on all opening windows), and just imagine the long, relaxed walks you can take without needing to look over your shoulder. DSTV and fibre connections are installed as well as an ingenious irrigation system which can be controlled from indoors. If you value peace, freedom and fresh air your search for a home ends here!
