Home to the Manor

Located in the sought after area of Tarragona and down a secluded quiet cul de sac you will find this magnificent home with a manicured garden incorporating an array of carefully selected roses and an impressive fruit orchard set privately on just over an acre of land enjoying magnificent mountain vistas enjoying morning sunshine from the east and bathed in sunshine across the garden, pool and patios till late in the afternoon. This home offers wonderful space but is also perfect as a second home to escape the winter months abroad.

The long driveway offers off street parking for many, garage parking for one and storage including a mezzanine space. Immediately upon entering the property you are captivated by the glass doors looking out to the garden and double volume gallery staircase.

The formal lounge area is finished with American shutters and has frameless stacking doors leading to the garden for the summer months but is easily made cosy with the addition of the gas fireplace for the cooler months. Leading through to the open plan kitchen and dining area is a space currently used as an office but also an ideal space for a tv lounge particularly if you have little ones.

The spacious kitchen centres around a large island with much storage and directly on to the dining, it has a wine cooler and pantry cupboard but was designed more about access to indoor outdoor living and has seamless framed stacking doors leading to the patios and magnificent garden. For convenience of entertaining the scullery and laundry are tucked away and lead directly to the garage and bedsitter. Included in the kitchen are the integrated double door fridge, two dishwashers as well as an ice machine and the sink area has a waste disposal

The accommodation is split which makes it perfect as a lock and leave with 3 bedrooms and bathrooms in the main dwelling including a guest cloakroom on the lower level when entertaining.

All 3 bedrooms in the main are located on the upper level split by a gallery style landing which captures not only the magnificent natural surroundings letting in oodles of natural light but is also a fabulous space to exhibit special artworks or family portraits. On the stairwell a pellet fireplace was fitted that emits heat into this space again thinking about energy and the cooler months and all bedrooms are fitted with split air conditioning for heating and cooling.

The spacious main bedroom is fitted with walk thru wall to wall built in cupboards leading to the en suite bathroom and large windows captivate you by the surrounding views and across the beautiful garden below

The additional two bedrooms have stand alone bathrooms both with large walk in showers and the second with a walk through dressing area to a full bathroom with a soaking tub and walk in shower

In addition there is a bed sitter with outside access or through the garage or internally from the kitchen scullery and laundry area with its own bathroom, kitchenette with oven and included white goods are the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. Frank, the housekeeper for the sellers that live mainly abroad, takes care of all maintenance issues, contractors and general running of the house and garden and would be an asset to any buyer looking for this convenience.

Above the garage is a completely separate well appointed flat with its own driveway and lower deck area for outdoor entertaining, perfect for long term guests, an older teenager or income generator for a long term tenant or holiday letting, the fridge, washing machine and dishwasher will remain and it too has a fitted air conditioning unit .

The internal living areas have a cohesive relationship with the garden and in the warmer months all stacking doors extend this area out to the large outdoor patios fitted with electric awnings that allow for much needed cover and shade on hot days whilst taking in the beauty of this manicured and personally cultivated garden

The pool area is a sublime with an undercover decked area that wraps around to the sun lounging space enjoying far reaching mountain vistas and a feature pond containing around 20 gold and koi fish. The pool is heated and conveniently fitted with an electric cover and all equipment is neatly housed out of sight.

The spectacular garden with its impressive selection of roses, fruit and olive trees is kept watered by a full irrigation system that feeds from a borehole and 5 water storage tanks with a 5000l capacity each, no need to pop out for your fresh fruit anymore....

Loadshedding is not a concern as the home operates at almost 90% with the addition of solar panels and a sophisticated Victron inverter with batteries. As the sellers live mainly abroad the home has a state of the art security system which includes cameras, perimeter electric fencing, external beams and internal sensors. Tarragona is a fully fenced suburb of Hout Bay with boomed access control at the entrance, off site monitoring of the street cameras and residents have access to fabulous mountain walks by way of a gate on the back boundary.
