This Neo-Classical Equestrian Haven Is Selling For R 14 900 000! This Neo-Classical haven, with a touch of French finesse and equestrian elegance, embraces you from the moment you enter the porte-cochere. The guests will park in the neatly paved courtyard at the central water feature, which forms part of a driving circle. A beautiful koi pond forms the centre of attraction to all adjacent living areas. The impressive courtyard surrounds you in the form of six garages and three classic stables.

The spacious rustic open plan kitchen is furnished with separate high-pressure burners and extractor system for Asian cooking, screeded floors, granite tops, a centre island and built-in spit-braai. The reception and living rooms with its earthen colours combined with extra ordinary high ceilings creates an ambiance of peace and tranquillity that is rounded of by the stunning dining room and cosy fireplace. The screeded floors, Crete stone walls with 4m high ceilings, alternating small glass windows light up the whole house.

Placed on a one hectare stand the house is situated in the North-eastern part of the estate. The whole stand is royally designed. The garden is neatly enclosed with an additional cypress hedge. Tasteful sidewalks curves through indigenous vegetation, perfectly trimmed shrubs and a well-kept vegetable garden.

The three spacious en-suite bedrooms are all upstairs, each with its own walk-in cupboards and scenic views on the garden and picturesque surrounding. The main bedroom has its own balcony. The private study at the entrance and neighbouring sitting room creates a friendly introduction to the inside of the dwelling.

From ground level you drop into the most intriguing wine cellar with delicately designed medieval arches built with red clay face brick that reminds one of the Roman catacombs. This nostalgic equestrian house, with two horse stables, a tack room and storeroom as well as a luxurious 34x55m arena, lunging ring and paddock is a definite must-have for horse and country lovers. All in the very secure and safe environment of Mooikloof Equestrian Estate.
