Every now and then, says Peter Greyling, co-owner of Rawson Properties Hermanus franchise, a home comes onto the market that is genuinely exceptional and very good value.
One such, he says, is a property just listed by Rawsons. It is in the Fernkloof Estate in Kwaaiwater and this means that it is only five minutes drive from the centre of Hermanus and within walking distance of the local golf course, now upgraded to have 27 holes and in exceptionally good condition.
The home is double storey with three bedrooms and spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. These have sliding doors leading to a patio with a built-in braai and this leads to the well manicured garden.
The spacious master bedroom is on the ground floor and has its own luxurious en suite bathroom with granite countertops.
Both the other two bedrooms (en suite) are double, i.e. suitable for two people, and are situated on the first floor.
The upstairs area also has a coffee bar (an unusual feature in a South African home) and a TV lounge that leads onto a balcony from which panoramic views of the golf course and Fernkloof mountains open out.
State-of-the-art features in this home, says Greyling, are a slow-burning wood fireplace in the living room, solar heating, rainwater tanks and a drive-through garage. There is also ample parking for other cars on the erf.
'The Fernkloof Estate,' says Greyling, 'has from the outset been well conceived and well executed. They have from the beginning insisted on exceptionally high architectural standards which have allowed no one owner to let the side down and build in an inharmonious or inferior way.
'Many would regard this estate as one of South Africas top golf residential communities and its position within 130 km of Cape Town and so close to the heart of Hermanus makes any buy here a good one, especially now that the golf course is so well established. Residents can drive their golf carts directly onto the golf cart route with access to the clubhouse'
The home listed here is priced at R3 495 000, which, says Greyling, should ensure a quick sale as it is very definitely '˜competitively priced.
