Klipmossel is a sanctuary of calm, created to encourage complete escape and relaxation. Built around a cool, central courtyard and flanked by a soothing ‘water wall’, the house is magnificently pared down and spacious. Modern, minimalist, and with European flair, the house reflects the owners’ heritage on point. An en-suite twin/king bedroom flows into a discreet work space, and also connects to the open dining and lounge area with combustion fireplace. Here winters are cosy and summers are air-conditioned and comfortable. Talking of comfort, there’s also a gas stove and inverter to ensure seamless living should there be power cuts. A second bedroom is just across the courtyard and is a beautiful self-contained cocoon – with kitchenette and lounge. Absolute privacy is the ethos throughout.
