JOINT MANDATE

The 24-hour manned gate of The Hill grants you entry into the manicured grounds of this esteemed estate, where a veer to the right brings you to a row of brand-new residences with warm tan walls and terracotta-tiled roofs. Though they appear from the outside to be independent two-storey homes, each level is in fact a separate apartment, with the layered design and soundproofing throughout allowing for excellent privacy between residents.

After parking in the upper unit’s two-car garage, complete with internal access and a backup solar inverter, you step through the front door directly into the open-plan living space with laminate wood-look flooring and contemporary finishes throughout. Across the space, a wall of glass draws the incredible outlook deep into the interior and can slide open to transform the entertainment area with a built-in braai nook into an open-air lookout, inviting the coastal breeze inside. Glass balustrades leave the breathtaking panorama uninterrupted, allowing you to behold the east-facing vista over the glassy lagoon and shimmering sea from the lounge, dining area, and even the kitchen. Here, sleek grey cabinetry pairs with quartz countertops and a peninsula with casual seating, while an integrated Smeg gas hob and oven bring function to form. A tucked-away scullery is provisioned for appliances and laundry and opens to a drying courtyard, while a guest cloakroom and dedicated study nook just off the living space weave further convenience into everyday life.

In each of the apartment’s four corners are bedrooms with built-in cupboards, fitted vanities, and en-suite bathrooms wrapped in elegant marble tiling. The two front bedrooms have grand windows that embrace the home’s spectacular outlook, as well as sliding glass doors that open to the entertainment area, while the larger master suite adds a touch of indulgence with dual basins and a luxurious bath.

Known for its presiding position above the town, The Hill Estate places you within easy reach of everything Plett has to offer. Market Square, Plett Primary and Poortjies Lagoon Beach are all just a couple of minutes away by car, while the vibrancy of Main Street lies five minutes from home, ensuring Plett’s renowned coastal lifestyle remains ever-present in daily life. This amazing apartment is equally suited to becoming a stylish permanent residence or a highly appealing holiday rental, offering the flexibility to make it entirely your own or let it work for you when you’re away.
