According to the owner of this bold and magnificent home, the inspiration came from a vision to see contemporary architecture, equestrianism and nature come together to showcase a reality that is inspiring, functional and unique – all within the context of its spectacular setting.

An organic-shaped concrete wall weaves its way above a shallow reflective pond, which invites guests over a small bridge and through the front door.

“On entering the home, the view of the distant horizon vista through an expansive unobstructed 10m opening is simply breathtaking. Simultaneously, the prominent V-column, Googie-styled floating staircase and the triangulated coffer slab double-volume ceiling set the tone for what lies ahead,” says the owner.
