Plush interiors featuring high-quality furnishings and stylish designs create a serene setting that will have you feeling like you're floating in the clouds from the moment you arrive. Boasting calming views across the mountains, you'll find warmth and natural charm in every detail of this home. Whether you're making the most of the fitness room, curled up with a book from the home library or cracking on with some work in the office space – the home's interior presents a sanctuary of elegance to enjoy at your own leisure. Meanwhile, the gorgeous greenery of the garden invites the outside indoors and creates a refreshing sense of openness throughout. Relax, meditate, do yoga or simply stroll around the luscious outdoor space taking in the scents of nature as you go. The children of the group will be well catered for as there's an indoor playroom, and the grassy lawns present a prime opportunity for garden games, meanwhile the trampoline will have them bouncing with joy in the sunshine. Over on the terrace, there is a mini-golf putting green that will entertain all the family and of course, the outdoor swimming pool to enjoy amidst the warmth of the sunshine. Situated in... Bishopscourt, you'll be just a fifteen-minute drive away from the centre of Cape Town and around twenty minutes away from the V&A Waterfront, with an abundance of shops and restaurants to soak up. In less than half an hour's driving distance you can be cruising along the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay in the north and down to Llandudno, Hout Bay and Noordhoek in the south of the city.
