It’s been a while since we’ve gone down the ‘we want’ route.
Usually, we focus on local properties, and we’ve been known to stretch our budget to around the R35 million mark.
Bugger it, let’s really push the boat out with this one.
If you’re going to dream about things you can’t afford, you may as well dream big.
5121 Hanalei Plantation Road, on the north shore of the Hawaii island of Kauai, offers the sort of views that would make working from home a real blessing.
More from Forbes on the $23 million listing:
[The property] provides a panoramic window on this island paradise, framing vistas that change with the time of day, weather and season…
The most distinguishable feature of this style is the wide-hipped roof, which has a more gradual pitch than a gabled roof and gives the home a low-profile appearance in keeping with its natural surroundings…
The design surprise is the central outdoor living room, which serves as the focal point for the three sections of the house. The open-air space includes greenery, a dining area, a lounge and an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue. A transparent roof retracts to shelter the room when needed.
You don’t see a retractable roof every day.
The main bedroom suite, which comprises a whopping 1 275 square feet, has a study, a soaking tub, and access to a private garden with an outdoor shower.
That bedroom alone is about 15 times the square footage of a regular two-bedroom flat in and around the Cape Town CBD.
Let’s enjoy a video tour:
You’ll need full-time staff to tend to those lawns, but you knew that already.
I’m off to buy a few more lottery tickets, then.
