Security estate home for sale in Mooikloof Equestrian Estate

This remarkable property was designed by arguably one of the best South African architectural companies of our day. Braam de Villiers and his company, Earthworks Architects, received several rewards over the last few years. This specific property received the PIA award for Architecture in 2019, appearing in different magazines. Situated in the breath-taking Mooikloof Estate in Pretoria, this remarkable abode nestles in one of its most idyllic spots. All this makes it a rare and remarkable property for an owner as unique as itself. When you set eyes on this majestic artwork, you realize that you are in the realm of greatness. Breath-taking features meet the eye, wherever you go. Nestled in the heart of mother nature with its own natural and private dam the friendly sound of the waterfall mingles a medley with bird sounds, welcoming the visitor in its midst. The most beautiful wild birds, ducks and geese frequent the garden. The exquisite architectural lines of the house provide the background to complete the almost perfect picture. The floating cantilevered and larch clad first floor is set nearly diagonally on the reinforced concrete ground floor to create formal tension between the two levels and allow light to illuminate the lower living areas. As you enter the reception hall the industrial steel stairway, encapsulated in glass elevates you to the upper floor while you gaze through the transparent sides upon the natural dam and garden outside. The four upper floor bedrooms, all en-suite and cladded with precious wood, further the natural look and feel. The luxurious main bedroom in the Northwestern wing overlooks the garden and has it all, double basins, walk in closet, free standing bath, open plan glass shower and a view. The upper floor is rounded off by a second office (bedroom 4) in the eastern wing overlooking the dam. An industrially crafted spiral step connects the office (bedroom 4) with ground floor guest cottage (bedroom, bathroom, reception and kitchen). The ground floor opens up to a spacious open plan kitchen, cellar and dining room extending seamlessly into the wooden deck, into a vast social area that can accommodate a multitude of guests. The rugged steel and wood kitchen, laundry and scullery combine with the ten-meter sliding doors to overlook the swimming pool, dam and garden. The house is complimented by the separate equally aesthetic office and drive in garages. A perfect backdrop to the already idyllic scenario. The office has its own bathroom and a storeroom connecting with the garages. At the rear the staff room, laundry and additional double car port completes the picture. A neat vegetable garden adds to the natural flavor, and a wooden garden room provides additional accommodation. The irrigated garden has a sustaining borehole. Solar energy and geysers with a generator provide the back up.
