Pragmatism is overrated, especially on a Monday when staring out of the window and dreaming of a day when we never have to work again features so highly on the to-do list.

Now last week we showed you the kind of property you could land if you had two bar to throw down but now we’re going big…very big. Tyson Properties have quickly established themselves as an industry leader with 270 agents nationwide, meaning they have on their books some of the country’s most sought-after properties.

We’re going to look at four of their big guns and imagine what it would be like to call one of these home. Saving the best for last here we go…

Four Bedroom House in Umhlanga – R18 million

This beaut comes with magic sea views from the back porch, all four bedrooms en suite and room each for the home gym and theatre. There’s also a pool if you’re feeling too lazy to make your way down to the sea front.

Eight Bedroom Freestanding in Tamboerskloof – R29,5 million

Pictures don’t really do this cracker justice so we’re going to drop this video on you…

Now for the write-up:

The beautiful home was designed for the discerning eye with artistic flair. The home is a practical delight and is divided into two separate parts.

A completely self-contained outhouse consisting of two bedrooms and a study leading onto a veranda and balcony with scintillating views of the cityscape, Table Mountain and harbour.

The main house is made up of a vast entertainment platform featuring a large double sided fireplace and bedrooms on the upper level as well as man-cave / bar and two studio rooms on the lower levels.

The extensive wrap-around pool deck and summer terrace areas need to be experienced to be properly appreciated and with the positioning of the home beneath the glorious Table Mountain and above the City, this house literally comes alive at night when the City Bowls’ lights come on.

Yeah I’m sold, what a bloody gem.

Three Bedroom Apartment in Mouille Point – R38 million

Here’s your need to know info:

Without doubt one of the finest properties in Mouille Point offering unrivalled space, comfort and uncompromised views. The words plush, glamorous and elegance come to mind as one enters the property via its direct elevator access opening up into a space fit for a king and queen. All three bedrooms are en suite and the master bedroom enjoys sublime views over the urban park and onto the mountains. Ocean views are breathtaking from the two reception rooms, formal dining room, bar area and undercover outdoor patio. A separate laundry, additional storage and a three car garage completes a near perfect offering. The Breakers enjoys 24 hour concierge and manned security.

Four Bedroom House in Zimbali – R48 million

Off the bat you’re probably wondering where Zimbali is so we’ll tell you it’s five minutes from Ballito and half an hour from Durban itself. Simple right, now back to this property:

Solid hand crafted Mahogany and teak finishes, architraves and state of the art automation system. Chandeliers throughout. Design integrity in every detail translating this home in to a simply desirable and spectacular choice.

Expansive balconies embrace the elegant rim-flow pool complimented by stunning ocean breaker views. Movie theatre offering 14 luxury recliners.

Ah yes the home cinema again, although with a view from the pool like that last picture above we’ll encourage you to enjoy some time outdoors.

Feeling suitably inspired to buckle down and make enough dosh to call one of those above home? Good luck out there, but don’t forget Tyson Properties do have listings to suit almost any budget. Happy house hunting y’all.
