About this property

  • A creation of architectural excellence by Wynand Wilsenach Architects, custom designed for the present owners. The clean and contemporary barn-like design seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings, providing a tranquil yet modern ambiance. The living areas completely open out the ground level to create a free-flowing space that makes the most of the spectacular north facing mountain and valley views. Vast picture windows & glassed sliding doors bring the outdoors in and drench the interiors with natural light. The expansive yet intimate living spaces have options to close off an area when entertaining with solid oak stacking doors and cavity wall sliding doors. The property's layout resembles a series of living areas that are connected and all flow to the front deck so that the inside transitions naturally to the lush garden, exquisitely landscaped by Franchesca Watson with a focus on family-friendly and sustainable garden spaces. The property showcases a captivating natural eco-swimming pool at its heart and features Scandinavian-inspired planting, stone walls and silvery trees that harmonize with the architecture and embrace the surrounding mountain & valley views.
