An exceptional 4ha estate arranged around an architectural vision of contemporary lines, indigenous forestation and a coveted coastal address. A masterpiece of luxury, scale and versatility.
True luxury on this scale relies on privacy and Milkwood Meadows achieves this through its meticulous layout, with absolute separation between the main home and the income-generating assets. Mature trees, manicured gardens and green screens provide undisturbed tranquillity for the owners.
The arrival is seamless and impressive, with significant capital expenditure invested in heavy-duty paved internal roads that sweep through the property.
At its heart, the main residence – referred to by the current owners as 'The Big House' - functions around a soaring double-volume core that connects the upper and lower levels in a fluid conversation of space and light. Life moves easily between the light-filled lounges and dining spaces, the cordon bleu chef’s kitchen, study zones and the sumptuous accommodation to the wellness and entertainment wing. Complete with an indoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi, squash court, hotel-like bar and private cinema, and framed by panels of stacker doors with serene garden views, it’s the ultimate space for unwinding in all the seasons.
A High-Yield Hospitality and Equestrian Landscape
Beyond the residential treeline lies a brilliantly conceived commercial and lifestyle asset base. This sector of the estate is a turnkey hospitality powerhouse, with seven modern, luxury guest cottages with a proven track record for high occupancy. A recently refurbished, multi-functional conference/events centre and private bar are supported by a fully equipped commercial kitchen designed for hosting events on the al fresco dining terrace.
For the horse lover, the facilities are of international standards. The lower grounds feature 17 large stables, 14 secure paddocks, a professional dressage arena, a lunging ring, and a massive 80m x 60m training arena complete with a professional horse water jump. Every facet has been engineered to run independently, allowing a thriving hospitality or equestrian business to operate smoothly without ever infringing on the peace of the main house.
Engineered Self-Reliance
Beneath the poetic lines of the estate lies an uncompromising, industrial-grade infrastructure built for autonomy. Water security is guaranteed by two independent borehole pump systems feeding an aggregate of 80,000 litres of storage. The main house has its own 10,000 litre tank with an integrated filtration system and pressure-boosting pumps, ensuring pristine water quality on demand.
Power comes from a three-phase municipal supply backed up by a Sunsynk battery and inverter system. There’s also a high-capacity, meticulously serviced diesel generator on standby in its own room, capable of running the entire estate and recharging the battery banks simultaneously.
WiFi is high-speed and reliable, with coverage to all habitable and social spaces throughout the property. Security too is top-notch with four independent alarm systems and over 20 security cameras supported by armed response. Each one offers real-time remote access via smartphone, as well as manual operation if needed. Further, there are three automated gates with intercom or pin pad access.
Should the new owners want to expand the estate, proposed zoning for a range of uses is in the process of being ratified. On municipal approval, they will be permitted to build an instructional facility, conference centre, guest house, events venue, chapel or a retirement facility. The site development plan (SDP) and all supporting architectural drawings have been submitted to the municipality and approval of the SDP is pending, contingent on the outcome of the traffic impact assessment (TIA).
Milkwood Meadows stands as an incomparable coastal estate, meticulously designed for the discerning connoisseur who demands absolute privacy and uncompromised luxury.
