This unique contemporary build is discreetly tucked into the side of a cliff positioned above a gorge opening out to the magnificent surrounding. On arriving at this home your eye is immediately drawn to the roof that is designed to resemble the unfurling sails of a dhow as it catches the wind enticing you to step inside to see what is hidden beyond. As you step over the threshold you are taken on a journey of outstanding architecture, sublime interiors and unfolding aerial views of the ocean. Set on three levels of expansive living, entertaining and dining spaces integrated within the natural contour of the land and framed by a stone wall axis built from material excavated on site during construction.

Perhaps spend reflective time on one of many fabulous look-out decks, listening to the symphony of bird calls while keeping a lookout for the elusive Knysna Lourie with its brilliant red wings that is a resident in the indigenous evergreen forest on your doorstep. As the sun sets, fire up the flames of the braai or bake pizzas in the pizza oven while enjoying the firepit where classic safari chairs are a perfect spot for stargazing in this low light pollution estate. Catering in the open plan generous kitchen with all the modern conveniences a chef could dream of, is a cinch. Round off the evening entertainment relaxing in the cozy wine room with the optimal climate for storing those precious bottles.
