Panoramic
sea views from a top drawer home & lush gardens,
up-market
Ramsgate.
The
photo gallery of this absolutely high end, top drawer property
does the reality
hardly
any justice
whatsoever.
Located
in an ideal spot, a mere two minute stroll from the sand and
surf of the Indian
Ocean,
this residential property is aimed only at the discerning buyer,
with almost 1000sqm
under
roof on a consolidated double stand.
The
design and configuration of the home lends itself to a sumptuous
family home, or an
exceptionally
up-market boutique style hotel facility.
At
the outset, mention has to be made of the high calibre of this
home, having won the
NHBC
house of the year in 2007 and having come 2nd in South Africa.
Additionally,
the lush gardens were runner up in the garden competition in the
South Coast
region.
Offering
two vehicle access points, via automated gates, plus two
pedestrian access points,
the
high electrified garden walls contain a well manicured and lush
sub-tropical
paradise
of terraced gardens.
The
lower of the vehicle access gates open onto the lower paved
driveway, with ample
parking
and a large waterproof boat or caravan under cover parking bay.
Situated
on this lower driveway, is a spacious and fully functioning mini
home office complex.
The
footprint of which comprises large open double office, two
separate storage rooms, a
well
appointed kitchen and bathroom.
If
not utilized as a home office complex, this could easily be a
fully self-contained guest flat,
or
for an ageing member of the extended family.
Naturally,
garden paths wend their way through the lush gardens up to the
main home.
Access
through the upper automated gate is to the upper paved driveway
and double
garages
attached to the main home.
An
all weather under cover entrance portico is framed beautifully
by a Tuscan inspired
courtyard.
A myriad of pots and tubs all seasonally planted, paved walkway
to a private
vine
covered "Al Fresco" table and chairs, as well as
wrought iron balustrade leading up to
both
pedestrian access points.
Keeping
with the Tuscan flavour, the pedestrian doors are set within
high perimeter walls and
elude
no clue from the exterior to the hidden treasure that lies
within.
Double
wooden doors with glass inlay open into the entrance hall of
this absolutely stunning
home.
The entrance gives no clue as to the panoramic sea views until
stepping through to
the
vast open plan reception rooms of the living area.
Ocean
views are panoramic literally from any vantage point in any of
these sea facing open
plan
rooms.
The
reception rooms comprise a family room, dining room, pool/
billiard area with suspended
overhead
light, solid Beachwood and granite kitchen, plus the rim flow
pool set in a Balu wood
deck.
Fitted
to the family room, at waist height, are stackable wooden
windows that literally fold
back
and allow the sea breeze in. Additionally, there are another set
of floor to ceiling
stackable
doors which allow access onto the rim flow pool deck.
As
with the family room, the dining room has the same floor to
ceiling stackable doors leading
out
onto the pool deck.
Taking
the best in 21st century design, the spacious kitchen is open
plan to the dining room
and
allows complete interaction between host and guest in these two
rooms.
Any
gourmet cook would love the ample fitted Beachwood and granite
top cupboards, gas
hob,
electric double oven and suspended stainless steel extractor
chimney.
A
separate scullery keeps the mess of day to day living from
sight.
The
formal lounge is separate to the more casual open plan reception
rooms, and offers a
tranquil
space with access out onto the second of the three wooden decks.
A
guest toilet completes the footprint of the reception rooms.
Sleeping
quarters, due to the slope of the stand, are set at half levels
to each other in
height.
Each
of the four bedrooms boasts not only solid wooden wardrobes, but
a spacious en suite
bathroom.
Two
of the bedroom suites face the rear of the property, with two of
the suites boasting
hallmark
panoramic ocean views.
The
rear facing bedrooms are set on a half level up and a half level
down. The lower bedroom
boasts
an en suite facility with marble vanity and a free standing tub.
The
second of the rear facing bedrooms, in addition to the marble
fixtures in the en suite,
also
enjoys access to another Tuscan inspired private garden
courtyard.
Up
a half level from the reception room level, the first of the sea
facing bedroom suites has
a
private balcony and a full en suite bathroom fitted with
stackable glass windows that fold
back
the wall over the oval shape bathtub.
Up
yet another half level, the master suite is something to behold.
It goes without saying,
that
sea views are truly spectacular from the highest suite in the
home. Again, stackable
glass
windows at waist height literally allow the ocean right into the
room.
The
full en suite bathroom with marble double vanity has the luxury
of stackable windows
over
the oval bathtub.
On
the lowest level of the home, one level under the reception
rooms, is a fully self-
contained
guest suite, complete with bedroom, en suite bathroom, private
lounge area,
solid
Rosewood kitchen and private Balu wood deck.
There
has been no expense spared in the design and execution of this
top drawer home.
To
mention a few of the features would include wi-fi and computer
networking system, TV
and
telephone points throughout, air-conditioning, a full irrigation
system, even filtered
water
to supply the ice compartment in the fridge and last but not
least premium security
measures
in both the home and gardens.
As
stated, this magnificent property is aimed at the discerning
buyer, or at the boutique
hotel
market. Either way it is an ideal location with a year round
sub-tropical climate and a
genuine
blue chip find.
