CHARMING FAMILY HOME SET WITHIN THE PRIVATE ENCLAVE OF IHLATI

Ihlati is a private enclave, home to a small and exclusive collection of freehold residences, each radiating charm and a sense of tranquillity. This particular property has been carefully modernized to embrace a fresh, contemporary style while ensuring comfort and effortless living. Sweeping ocean and forest views from the main living areas and bedrooms create a serene lifestyle immersed in nature, balanced with refined elegance. The enchanting rustic entrance opens into a light-filled interior, where expansive windows, sliding doors, and airy open spaces invite natural light and encourage an indoor-outdoor flow. The living area extends onto a generous balcony featuring a luxurious jacuzzi, providing the perfect setting to unwind with a glass of wine while watching the sunset and soaking in the breathtaking vistas.

The kitchen has been designed for both style and practicality, with an eye-level oven and microwave, a breakfast nook, and a separate scullery to keep daily living organized. Just outside, the courtyard and braai area off the kitchen are ideal for casual gatherings. The dining area sits conveniently across from the kitchen, making entertaining effortless. The master suite, along with two additional bedrooms, forms a private accommodation wing. The master is a true retreat, featuring a cozy lounge, floor-to-ceiling cupboards, and a full ensuite bathroom where one can enjoy a long soak while taking in the sea views. Another bedroom opens onto a stepped stone path leading to a private outdoor space, perfect for creating a fireside nook.
