Domain de Angus Estate in Franschhoek Franschhoek, Capo Occidentale 7690 Sud Africa

This home is so authentically Provencal, one can imagine being France with the snow-capped Alps close by. Blue shutters, big windows, intricate wrought iron, olive trees and beautiful mountain views complete the setting.

An open-plan kitchen has built-in appliances, with a walk-in pantry and a separate scullery and laundry. A casual lounge and dining room with the most exquisite window-scapes of the majestic Franschhoek mountains. Antique wood doors lead to a larger and more formal lounge with a fireplace. There is also a bedroom en-suite downstairs, and guest cloaks.

The imposing feature staircase in the entrance hall takes one to three more bedrooms upstairs. The spacious main suite has a walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious bathroom with a view, a balcony and private outdoor shower. The other two bedrooms share a family bathroom.

The north-facing patio is enormous and deep, perfect for entertaining on a large scale with built-in barbeque facilities and overlooks the training pool. The guest suite is positioned for privacy at the end of the patio.

There is also a storage cellar, and an outdoor shower and cloakroom. There is direct access to the house from the double garage.

This is a magnificent home, well- designed for family comfort and an easy lifestyle.
