Gather around, friends, and together let’s ogle the kind of home that is classy enough to feature in Hollywood, Bollywood, and European films.
It’s also the kind of home that means you’re forced to host matric dance before parties and the like, in case you’re looking for excuses to try and dampen your enthusiasm.
(Maybe the ‘tiny house’ movement is more to your liking.)
The home above is Cielo Nel Capo, a Tuscan Villa-style gem in Witteboomen, Constantia, which is the area that real estate giant Pam Golding called home before she passed away in 2018.
The Property24 listing for the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 10 747 m² home says that “the uniqueness of this property is truly profound, and the attention to detail is phenomenal”:
It is situated along the well-renowned road Price Drive in the quiet and private area of Constantia-Witteboomen. Constantia is known for its beautiful greenbelts, wine farms and large lavish properties, not to mention its abundance of local wildlife…
Architect, Nico van der Meulen designed this masterpiece to resemble a Tuscan villa. The lower levels of the structure present an aged appearance, whereas the higher levels progressively offer a more modern look. Construction was completed around the year 2000, and it has been well maintained since completion.
A tennis court, two elevators, more than 10 avocado trees (surely worth a few million on their own, given the price of an avo these days) – you’ll find it all.
Anyway, let’s rifle through some pictures:
On a property this size, safety and security measures are necessary, and you’re covered there, too:
It offers a completely automated security system throughout the house, as well as a front of property guard building. The exterior boundary fence is completely electrified, and the house has an advanced integrated security system. This includes a complete lockdown of the main house with a Safe Room in case of emergencies.
Just like in the movies, a safe room.
R80 million takes some buying, and I guess it might take someone with Euros, pounds, or dollars to their name, but I’m certainly a fan of Cielo Nel Capo.
