When you buy a house in Constantia for R32 million, you expect certain things, like a minimum of six bedrooms, a private study with a stealthy exit to the garden for garden whiskey drinking, and separate quarters for the live-in staff. Things like grass tennis courts, however – well those are a nice touch. And they could be yours to touch.
Here’s more, from Sotheby’s:
Set in the acclaimed Silverhurst Estate, Constantia, Western Cape, is a secluded and modern family home that will appeal to every taste! Residents and guests enter another world once through the manned gate house where the exceptional security of the estate is controlled.
Yours to enjoy are the extensive landscaped gardens with age old oak trees, some dating back to the time when Silverhurst belonged to Groot Constantia. Your children will be able to ride their bikes with their friends from the estate along the bricked lanes or they can fish in the lake while you play tennis on the two lawn tennis courts or enjoy a 2 km walk along the private open spaces. On special occasions you can book the club house for a private party or gather there for social functions.
