Unique
contemporary thatched home with stunning sea views, up-
market
Ramsgate!!!
Overlooking
the warm Indian Ocean and set in a lush indigenous low maintenance
sub-tropical
garden,
this home in the up-market village of Ramsgate is aimed at the discerning
buyer.
Also,
Ramsgate is the pivotal village from which to enjoy and explore the best of
several
professional
golf courses the "Hibiscus Golf Coast" is renowned for.
From
its elevated position, the home boasts absolutely panoramic sea views of the
Indian Ocean
and
also views of the long sweep of pristine beach and estuary mouth of the ultra prestigious
main
Southbroom beach.
Secure
behind automated gates, the paved driveway leads up to the steps that wend
their way
through
the gardens, passed the swimming pool and to the thatched breezeway at the
main
entrance.
This thatch beauty has been designed and built on
three levels.
The
middle and upper level comprising the spacious main home, with an added bonus
of the lowest
level
a footprint of a fully self contained open plan flat.
The
design and execution of planning of this unique home has been to maximize the
year round sub-
tropical
climate the region experiences. There is literally no winter season, just a
brief few weeks
of
cooler breezes and straight back to breezy balminess.
Stepping
into the double volume coolness of the open plan thatch covered living rooms,
the design
concept
is of a contemporary open plan Manhattan loft, complete with suspended
walkway.
Immediately
on entering this amazing living space the eye is drawn to main feature, two
sets of
large
glass sliding doors off the spacious living area. These doors literally allow
this entire wall to
let
the canvas of panoramic sea views speak for themselves.
Open
plan in concept, and true to loft design concept, this spacious living space
more than
generously
accommodates a lounge with built in fireplace, dining room, study area and a
gourmet
style fitted kitchen.
Off
the lounge, through the large glass sliding doors, a suspended (+ 28sqm)
wooden deck creates a
place
from which to start the day with your favourite cup of Java and end the day
with a
sundowner
of choice whilst appreciating the Indian Ocean and all its moods.
The
remaining footprint of the middle level plays host to the third
bedroom, a bathroom
and
utility room.
Mention
has to be made of the gourmet style kitchen. It has been fitted with maple
cupboards,
granite
tops, ceran hob, under counter oven and top of the range "Le Creuset"
pots.
The
upper level of the home plays host to the second bedroom, main bedroom and en
suite
bathroom.
All
of these rooms enjoy the character of the open thatch roof.
The
second bedroom offers large wardrobe facilities, pus the option of installing
a third en suite
bathroom.
The
main bedroom with en suite bathroom facility is reached via the suspended
walkway over
the
living area. Views of the Indian Ocean from the bedroom need to be seen to be
appreciated.
The
asking price of the home is inclusive of furnishings, artwork, antiques,
contemporary sculpture,
photography,
Egyptian linen, Le Creuset pots etc..
Literally
move in to this top drawer high end home and enjoy with no further outlay.
From
its position in the up-market village, this home is within walking distance of
leading restaurants
and
the powdery surf and sand of the Indian Ocean.
Several
renowned golf courses, two comprehensive shopping malls and an airport are a
few minutes
drive
away.
Security
on this home is at a premium, with a monitored alarm system, secure remote
access gates
and
sturdy Spanish style gates on all windows and doors.
Due
to the outstanding security, if not utilized as a permanent residence, a
fabulous lock up and
go
alternative is in situ.
Also,
the fully self contained flat on the lower level could be utilized by a tenant/
caretaker in a
lock
up and go option.
The
home of approx 180sqm is well maintained, comprehensively equipped and offers
a rather unique
ambience
of Manhattan loft design complete with artwork and that flavour of a welcoming
live-in
gallery.
If
Location, Location, Location is the mantra of real estate, this stunning
contemporary home is a
solid
blue chip investment with that indefinable X factor in spades.
