The Property

The main entrance gate is keyed with a Blink doorbell allowing you to communicate from anywhere in the house. On the left you’ll find a large gate (perhaps a you’ll want a yoga class or just an area to lay the loungers) and a table with chairs for a morning cup of coffee. You’ll also find a kafir lime, a lemon tree and two kumquat trees. The right gate is a coded entry should you not want to bring a key when leaving the property. Here, you’ll also find wrap-around bench seating, a table with chairs and a firepit. With an additional bench and various electrical outlets, it’s a great space to catch the sun’s rays or work outside. Our garden and front walls are ordained with passionfruit vines ready to be consumed (when in season). A portable Amazon Echo offers the ability to play music and we have a portable movie screen with projector to show movies. The front perimeter has an electric fence with a security system monitoring the property and there are cameras with spotlights overlooking the two garden spaces as well as a couple bronze animal statues.

As you walk through the right door, you’ll find a covered area and a cabinet to hold the outdoor cushions/chairs. You’ll continue along the right side (doors to Buffalo and Giraffe are located here), with a wall filled with grape and passionfruit vines, lemongrass plants and a variety of vegetables including peppers, tomatoes, lettuces and herbs (when in season). Here you’ll also find a small cushioned bench and a few cabinets with braai supplies and pool toys along with a braai (BBQ). Just before entering the back garden area, we have an outdoor shower for a quick rinse after a day at the beach or pool. The back courtyard is a great entertaining and relaxing space. The picnic table with cushions offers seating for 12 people with an umbrella and even has a built-in electrical outlet. The 100sqft pool (9.3sqm) is 5ft (1.5m) at its deepest point with graded steps from the side and enough room for 12 people. As a half-above ground pool, you can easily step over the glass wall for access to an internal bench with seating for up to 6 people. Surrounded by lush greenery including palm trees and monsteras, the beach palette of wooden chairs with black potted plants and mirrors scattered across the walls. An Amazon Echo is situated in the corner to play music while relaxing. Along the side and in the back pool area there are 2 cameras to ensure safety and security in these areas.
