Oh, to be rich and famous.

Actually, I’d just take the rich part, buy this house, and live out my days in abject luxury.

Today we felt like a good look around Bishopscourt, and if you’re going to dream, you may as well dream big.

We are talking eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a cracking 7 709 m². Located on the sought-after Norwich Drive, and “set against a dramatic mountain backdrop”, it’s quite’s something to look around.

The listing on Property24 has a grandiose description, including the following:

…one is met at the entrance by a guard house and ushered up the sweeping driveway past the tennis court and pavilion to a large forecourt hosting four car garaging and parking for about twelve cars.

The impressive triple volume entrance hall is adorned with lavish detail including two guest cloakrooms the main formal sitting room opens to a twenty-seater dining room both with doors to the terrace.

Indoor party room with separate bar and barbeque also has doors to the terrace fully equipped snooker room and eight-seater cinema. A one bedroomed guest flat has separate entrance.

The large high-tech kitchen has a scullery, laundry, pantry and breakfast room, which leads to a gymnasium. A second guest apartment has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living/dining and spacious kitchen in addition there is a luxurious guest suite.

Upstairs are four generous bedrooms the main with private balcony, his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms all perfectly secured by drop down security doors. An upstairs music room could easily be used as a fifth bedroom.

The downstairs entertainment room with dramatic feature window looks onto the 26m pool with jacuzzi at one end and serviced by a change room with shower and toilet. A separate suite provides adequate accommodation for staff members plus a gardeners toilet.

A borehole ensures the garden is always lush and green.

To quote a Constantia mom on her second glass of chardonnay, that is just divine.

That’s good livin’.
