Built with the use of high-end, quality materials imported from Europe, in an Apex, double-volume frame, resting beneath the thatch, NIMANO Hillside features an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, living and entertaining space with large, open fireplaces, contemporary furnishings, high-tech appliances and quality kitchenware. Four generous ensuite bedrooms with an additional guest loo settle on two levels of the home, accommodating as many as eight guests. Ample reading and reclining nooks rest around the living spaces that merge out onto long verandahs with a braai area, a pizza oven and dreamy sun-lounging spaces adjacent a magnificent infinity rim-flow swimming pool, that’s heated for those that love a slightly warmer dip. A fantastic children’s playground sits beside the verandah with a climbing wall and enough amusements to keep the kids busy for hours on end. A trampoline and yoga deck, an outdoor shower, a separate spa with a sauna and an office space tucks itself into the build, overlooking the garden.

The homestead rests on acres of rolling lawns, flowering olive groves and mini citrus orchards, succulent and vegetable gardens, and tall banana trees, extending their verdant foliage above meandering walkways that lead to more secret reclining areas and a romantic fire-pit. With the uncapped, high-speed WIFI and Sonos surround sound system covering both the interior and exterior areas of the property, as well as having the advantage of solar power as a welcomed back-up in the event of power shortages, there’ll be no interruption to your internet access, your music and your ice supply.
