Set back from the road, this magnificent home harmonises with its beautiful landscaped acreage (4206m-). Its peaceful privacy is secured by the option of adding an additional 4 acres which, available under a separate title, adjoins the property on 2 sides. The adjacent vineyards on the remaining border ensure the peace of this architect-designed, environmentally-conscious home.

The vaulted ceilings soar above the main living spaces, which, flooded with light, flow smoothly outwards, through floor-to-ceiling windows, to the glorious expanses of terrace, and the decks surrounding the sparkling blue pool.

The high-end gas kitchen with adjoining meals area boasts granite benches, dishwasher and ample storage. The family room commands a stunning outlook over the gorgeous gardens. The fireplaces allow for cosy family comfort in winter, while the easy indoor/outdoor living of the extensive glass doors invites year-round enjoyment.

There are four bedrooms with built-in robes, a study, a recreation retreat and a convenient downstairs powder room as well as a luxurious family bathroom. The master bedroom includes a splendid dressing room/walk-in wardrobe and its own stylish, expansive en-suite. The master balcony overlooks the beautiful landscaped gardens and the pristine pool.

The ecologically-conscious home benefits from extensive solar panels and air conditioning. There's a double garage, a massive storage area, an extra carport and generous paved space to park a trailer or boat.

It's a rare opportunity to find such an outstanding property so close to town-a short walk to shops, schools and the university, and four minutes from the CBD.
