Exotic
thatch gem on the absolute beachfront, Southbroom .
"Ivory
Beach Lodge" is an absolute gem all under thatch and
nestling
in
lush sub-tropical gardens.
Situated
on the absolute beachfront, behind secure fencing, access both
a
fairway of the renowned Southbroom golf course and a long sweep
of
pristine sands of the Indian Ocean from the garden gate.
In
point of fact, the ebb and flow of the surf makes for a soothing
ever
present
background ambiance.
The
2,227sqm property boasts not only an all suite main home, but
also a
fully
self contained cottage.
The
main home boasts magnificent double volume thatch ceilings in
sections,
suspended
walkways and breezeways, all decorated with a strong African
flavour
reminiscent of a high end bush lodge.
In
addition to the African lodge flavour, the powdery sands of the
Indian
Ocean
are literally through the garden gate.
Deep
all weather covered verandahs with thatch overhangs are the
hallmark
of
the exterior relaxation rooms off the exceptionally spacious
interior
living
rooms. This R&R space comes complete with built in gas braai
(BBQ).
A
large stone salt water swimming pool and wood deck nestles in
the
gardens
just off the deep verandah.
The
photo gallery above is a mere glimpse of the multi-functional
interior
living
rooms of lounge, dining room, games room and professional
gourmet
style kitchen.
An
added bonus is the collector's wine cellar, already fitted for
wine tastings.
It
goes without saying the sea views from all of these living rooms
are quite
spectacular.
The
upper floor of the home comprises study plus sleeping quarters
of 3
very
spacious suites, all with en suite facilities.
Mention
has to be made of the unique master suite. Sea views from this
vantage
point are spectacular. In addition, the suite has its own
fireplace,
dressing room and en suite facility with the decidedly African
flavour
all with high end fixtures and fittings.
Presently
the cottage is run as a functioning B&B/ self catering
bungalow,
set
in a leafy canopy of sub-tropical trees.
The
footprint of the cottage comprises open plan lounge, dining area
and
kitchen.
There
are 2 bedrooms plus ablution facilities of double showers,
vanity
and
WC.
The
outside deck offers good sea views.
In
keeping with the theme through out, the thatch, wood, rough
walls
and
pigmented floors blend seamlessly with the luxurious
furnishings.
No
detail has been overlooked with this property, from the
handcrafted doors,
windows,
pigmented floors with inlaid meranti strips to the flagstone
bathroom
floors.
There
is ample parking facilities in the form of three extra length
garages and
driveway
parking.
This
home offers a rare signature lifestyle, utilise the main home as
a boutique
hotel
and live in the tree top cottage, or embrace the solitude on
offer and
continue
to offer the large cottage on a B&B basis.
After
all the dizzying detail of the footprint of this property, the
650sqm
home
has a feel, flavour and ambience of truly African with a sea
breeze.
