According to the estate agency there are two family homes on the property, each with spectacular views of the surroundings. There is also a separate two-bedroom villa that can be used or rented out for holiday accommodation.

“The main home has the warmth and charm of an old Provençale chateau with a separate cottage and flatlet, wonderful deep stoeps for watching the sunset, rim flow pool, and lots of outside entertaining areas,” the estate agency says.

According to BusinessTech, rates and taxes for the property will cost around R2 400 per month while a bond of roughly R780 000 per month would be needed to fund the home.
