JOINT MANDATE

The elevated position of this four bedroomed, double storey home affords a magnificent setting and panorama of the Keurbooms river estuary flowing into the Poortjies lagoon and sparkling Indian Ocean, with the Tsitsikamma Mountains forming a misty backdrop in the distance.

The well-constructed house inspires confidence with clean lines that will endure the shifting fashions of contemporary design. An entrance lobby takes us into a spacious open plan living area: a dining room giving onto a small terrace, a lounge with fireplace, and a sunroom accessed through smoked glass sliders.

The kitchen, with its free-standing counter, is well equipped with a seven hob gas cooker, two electric ovens and a griller. There are generous cupboards and shelves in traditional style. The scullery gives onto a drying yard and outside toilet.

Practicality is a feature of this home, with aluminium doors and windows and durable vinyl flooring. The light, spacious ambience is enhanced by the white and light grey décor and extensive use of glass.

Doors to the right of the entrance hall lead to a guest toilet and the double garage which is tiled and shelved, and includes a storeroom. It is useful to note that the house has a back up power supply with inverter and batteries. The guest bedroom is en suite with a full bathroom.

The stairs take us up to a comfortable, open plan tv lounge.

The en suite main bedroom has a full bathroom with twin basins, with a large walk in dressing room, and gives onto a roofed balcony. The other two bedrooms are en suite with spacious shower bathrooms. All bedrooms have generous built-in cupboards, fans, fitted carpets, and overlook the fabulous seascape.

The exterior of this desirable home is very attractive, with sand-coloured walls and clay roof tiles. The garden is walled, neat and easy to maintain.

The Hill is a luxury private estate favourably situated only a few minutes from Plett’s two main shopping centres and services, and just as close to the lovely lagoon and Plett’s glorious beaches.
