Stacking doors lead to a dining area and a state-of-the-art kitchen with soft-closing African hardwood cupboards, white Caesarstone counter tops, and AEG appliances. There is a separate scullery and a walk-in pantry. Upstairs are four bedrooms and bathrooms, three of which are en suite, and two spacious lounges. All the bedrooms, and one of the lounges, open to a wraparound veranda that overlooks the landscaped indigenous garden.

The entertainment area features a gas-heated jacuzzi which overflows into the swimming pool, a trampoline, a built-in braai, pizza oven, an under-counter fridge, and a preparation area. There is a koi pond and an aviary. Additional features include a cinema, a large SABS-spec walk-in vault/panic room, staff accommodation, two underground 6 000 litre tanks which supply all garden taps and toilets, and a generator. “This quality, masterpiece home in Herrwood Park is a rare offering. The house, which is vacant, was recently built and has bold architecture and modern, designer features,” says Luke Hearn, who is handling the sale.

The entrance to the double-storey home at 15 Idundu Close, Izinga gated estate, is via French double doors with glass panels that reach to the ceiling. The ground floor has two lounges, which open onto a courtyard with a water feature, and a dining room. Stacking doors in the TV lounge lead to a large, covered entertainment patio and pool with a wooden deck. The kitchen, which has a breakfast nook, is fitted with handle-less cupboards, Caesarstone countertops, and AEG appliances, which include a gas stove with an overhead steel extractor hob and eye-level oven. There is a separate scullery and laundry area and guest toilet.

On the upper level are three en suite bedrooms. The property has a double, automated, lock-up garage with direct access to the scullery, as well as parking for guests in front. “Izinga Estate is a piece of paradise nestled in the rolling green hills just north of Umhlanga Ridge and above the town of Umhlanga Rocks. Located in the exclusive, gated Idundu Close, this property offers a secure, private haven with a luxury, modern, designer home with upper-level sea views,” says Hearn.

Both residences have quick access to the N2 and the coastal M4 to Durban CBD, 20km south, and King Shaka airport. They are close to all essential amenities and a number of private schools.
