44A Pagasvlei Road, Constantia Upper, Southern Suburbs, Western Cape, South Africa

Discover this stunning home that harmonizes seamlessly with its surroundings, nestled behind tall trees and enveloped by a magical indigenous garden. Drawing inspiration from the grand proportions of traditional barns, this modern interpretation integrates beautifully with the Constantia landscape while providing a contemporary living experience and an entertainer's paradise.

Spread over two levels, this brilliantly designed home offers panoramic views in every direction. The ground floor extends across the property's east west axis, with expansive living spaces bathed in natural light from tall stacking doors lining the northern facade. The impressive pivoting front door opens to generous double volume interiors. The entrance hall, separated from communal spaces by a floating staircase leading to an open mezzanine home office, flows into a family lounge and play area, and then into the ultimate cook's kitchen. Perfect for intimate family dinners at the wood and Neolith island counter or hosting gatherings at the 14 seater dining table, the kitchen is equipped with a state of the art gas/electric cooker, a built in pizza oven, and an outdoor braai.

The eastern living area boasts 180 degree views through windows flanking the combustion fireplace, creating a cozy focal point for winter evenings.
Two lushly planted internal atriums separate the communal areas from the serene bedroom wing. The pyjama lounge, complete with a fireplace and coffee station, leads to four en suite family bedrooms, each opening into the garden. The master suite offers magnificent views of the mountains, swimming pool, and garden beyond.

A private downstairs wing, accessed via a concealed staircase, houses a guest cottage with an open plan kitchen, lounge, and en suite bedroom; staff kitchen and living quarters; an additional en suite bedroom; an office/gym; and a steam room. Sliding doors open to a terrace planted with fruit trees.

The landscaped garden features lawned terraces, a kids' bike path, and a play area within sight of the house for safety. Veggie and herb containers, along with fruit trees, promote sustainable living, complemented by a borehole, water storage, and filtration systems. The pellet burner heats the floors, pool, and hot water.

The veranda offers shaded seating and alfresco dining areas. Enjoy sundowners around the fire pit or relax on the martini seat that runs along the length of the sparkling pool, toasting to another day in paradise.

This home is a blend of architectural brilliance, contemporary luxury, and sustainable living, perfectly set in the beautiful Constantia landscape.
