When I fantasy shop for property, I accept only the best.

R16 million in Hermanus, you say? Well it’s R15 900 000 to be precise, but I’ll leave you to squabble over a measly R100 000.

Voelklip is one of the more sought after areas in Hermanus, so let’s see what makes this seven-bedroom house worth that hefty price tag.

Via the listing on Pam Golding, here’s what you’ll love about it:

This stunning seafront home is the uncompromising result of the perfect blend of art, design and functionality in one of the most desirable locations of Hermanus. Offering a lifestyle that oozes luxury and coastal calm, this double level home has it all.

Designed with the growing family in mind, it offers very generous accommodation with 7 bedrooms and 6,5 bathrooms, all on a double plot, right above Grotto Beach. Panoramic views from an impressive balcony with braai and also a delightful front terrace. Seamless open plan living with modern kitchen and scullery.

Extras include a beautiful sunny study, double garage, wine cellar, guest cloakroom and a sunny northern lawn area with potential to add more.

Now you’ve seen the back of the property in that picture up top, but let’s get a view from the other side:

Enough – take me inside:

It looks like it has good feng shui. Does it really? I don’t know, but tell everyone that comes to visit that it does and they will lap it up.

A few more pics:

I always get sucked in by how nice the place looks, and then I remember that I would have to fill it with my own furniture.

Anyway we digress – five of the seven bedrooms are en suite, and how about that fancy ass guest cloakroom? Now we’re living.

Check out this cellar:

Serve the plonk to those you’re forced to entertain – distant family, old friends you have grown apart from over the years, your former next-door neighbour who wants to get out of the city etc – and keep the Chocolate Block for your dearest guests.

Congrats, you now own a wonderful beachside property.

We’re happy for you.
