St. Aubyn’s. Echoes of Portuguese Pioneer Culture.
Designed by Scottish Architect, Alexander Forrest in 1928.
Meticulously and fastidiously restored to its original condition by the owner.
O riginal pressed-steel ceiling panels, chequerboard black and white tiles and emerald tiles that line the large koi pond are specially cast. Wooden floors, beveled glass wooden doors, custom wooden shutters, birds-eye maple cupboards and marble fireplaces seal a final stamp of authenticity. The large patio is reached up classical stairways and balustrades. Beautifully turned wood features. Mediterranean terraced gardens and extensive views.
This double storey home has unusual views overlooking Melville, Auckland Park and Milpark from its south back garden, with the imposing University of Johannesburg buildings peeping out from the ridges to the west. To the north the views are unparalleled, with Sandton City and the Magaliesberg in clear sight.
The garden, with its cascading terraces, ponds, nooks and crannies, yields figs, pears, plums and persimmon, with a large vegetable and herb garden bursting with fresh produce.
The property boasts a prolific borehole and Egoli gas.
A large stone storeroom was built east of the house in 1928. This has been reinforced, and converted into an 18m long entertainment area, overlooking a new rim-flow pool. With six-metre tall ceilings, stone walls and tall arches, it has the feel of an ancient Roman chamber. Includes guest cottage – kitchenette, study and shower room.
A new bespoke office building, designed by renowned architect Kate Otten, has been constructed at the bottom of the property and offers an enviably light and modern working space. Extensive use of glass, it blends in perfectly with the myriad trees and shrubs that surround it.
This space can easily be converted into an ultra-modern 220m² living space as it features all the services (including gas and borehole) that serve the main house.
Set on ±5900m² of terraced gardens which extend on both sides of the West Cliff Ridge.
4 Reception areas, magnificent patio, rim flow pool, 360°views! 4 Bedrooms. Including contained guest cottage. As well as Architect designed by Kate Otten home office ±220m².
The rest you must see!
Asking R25 million
