	PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The "HACIENDA" is one of only 7 homes situated on the old Sandbaai dune (this is Sandbaai's milionaires mile or Manhattan skyline as it is sometimes referred to). The elevation means you don't only get sea views, but also 360 degree mountain views on the north side which is so important for winter sun. On the property is a mature milkwood forest which flanks the house on all sides, making it absolutely private. This house is the first (probably in the whole of Hermanus) to see the sun come up in the morning and the last to see it going down in the evening. During the summer the sun sets in the ocean directly out front. You arrive in a double volume lobby with 4m high ceilings, (spot lights have been fitted to light up an owners art collection). From the lobby a grand wide staircase with landing goes up to the top floor. All the windows and sliding doors downstairs have cumstom-made burglar bars which means you can slide open the bedroom doors and still be 100% safe. All windows and doors are custom made black aluminium. There are 2 huge master bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms and outside sliding door. The main master has a small bath/jacuzzi, walk in closet and a second outside shower on a wooden deck floating in the Milkwoods. Another three bedrooms share another 2 bathrooms. All bedrooms have coir/hemp carpets and underfloor heating. Also on the lower floor is a dedicated laundry opening onto a drying yard. Next to the laundry is "wetroom" with a shower and storage space for dive gear, fishing rods etc, also with its own door leading outside. The huge braai stoep has space for a full lounge suite, 10 seater table and built in braai. It has a panoramic view of the mountans as well as looks up the Hemel and Aarde Valley at Babilon's Toring. (Interestingly, when you are up the valley an you look back, the only bit of Hermanus's suburbs that you can see is the Sandbaai dune with the Hacienda perched on top). From the braai deck a custom made spiral staircase with 40mm balau treads takes you up to a big view deck (like a crows nest) from where you have a true unimpeded 360 degree view of mountain and sea. Also great for night time stargazing and midsummer romantic dining.

Lots of natural rock and earthcote type finishes. The penthouse style open plan kitchen, lounge, sunset lounge and dining area also features a massive stone hearth for big winter fires with a 46 inch flat screen TV next to it. The whole upper floor has a real wood white washed (20cm wide) pine floor. The designer kitchen has riverwash granite tops, a chopping island with 3 bar stools, 5 burner Smeg stove, double door Bosch fridge freezer with ice dispenser and much more. All appliances can be bought with the house. One of the striking features of the house is the steelwork : security gates, burglar bars, balustrading and spiral staircase which was made by well known Hermanus steel artist James "The Steeler" Robertson. The plaster finish is unique : It is an original French technique adopted by Tesselaarsdal builder Victor Blomquist. Wooden decks and walkways float through the milkwood forest. Architect : Charl Roux - land size 844m² - house size 400m 0178. The owner painstakingly built this house to be a work of art - to fit into this most unique location.
