 And here we are back in Blair Athol. This time behind me there's a five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom, stunning mansion, contemporary mansion I would say. It is absolutely incredible. If you want to live somewhere that feels like you're out of the city, but with easy access to all of the business hubs, this is where it's at. Equestrian estate, gymnasium, restaurants, stables. You name it, this estate, the Athol estate has it, and it is one of the most exclusive names in the real estate industry. So come with me as we take you through this stunning home and show you all of its features. And I think it's one thing I've got left to say to you, and that's welcome home. Posing double doors, letting you know without a doubt what you're walking into is something special. We find ourselves in an entrance hall, and this entrance hall has a few nice key features. One, the chandeliers above me. I love good lighting, and that is without a doubt some good lighting. We have wall-to-wall windows, letting in so much natural light, making this area feel warm and inviting. And off this entrance hall, we can either move off into the living areas or some of the bedrooms, or art into this stunning patio area. So let's start where we always do. Let's move into the living areas. Let's take a look at the kitchen, the dining area, the TV areas, and then let's take a look at the bedrooms. Follow me. And here we are approaching a second set of double doors leading you into your lounge area slash dining room with the kitchen on the far end. I love the fact that all of this is open plan. And one thing that is without a doubt, standout, is these sliding doors over here, letting you, well, giving you really an unobstructed view of the fourth hole of the Gary Player golf course. This is the second longest golf course in the world, and you'll see down there the Crocodile River. So really, if you want views and you want views in Blair Ethel, those are the views you want. But let's talk a little bit about this lounge area. However, plenty of space here, two couches fitting comfortably as well as this area rug above us, down lighting, so you've got no chandeliers in a place that you'd want to watch TV, nothing getting in the way of that wall there that you can mount a beautiful LCD screen. Then let's talk about these tiles, because I really think they do deserve a mention. Really big tiles, glossy making a room that is already spacious, feel all that more comfortable, clean cut, really nice. I do appreciate good tile choices in homes like this, because I could so easily make or break a home. But yeah, we are the dining room area. The key focal point where any kitchen really does come together. I mean, this dining room table is stunning, but really take a look at the chandelier above you, all glass, beautiful down lighting. And then over here for those cold winter evenings, we've got an inbuilt fireplace. And this is one of those smokeless fireplace, fully enclosed, giving you all that heat, but none of the smell afterwards. And then a feature wall of here that is not wallpaper. I know it looks really great, but these are real bricks in Laidonia. Love feature walls, love what they do into areas like this. But now without further ado, we are coming up to the kitchen area, beautiful grey, Caesar stone countertops making up this central island and above it again. Another impeccable choice in lighting is this rectangular chandelier hanging above. Now generally all of the lights will be turned on really showing you how glorious it makes this home look. But unfortunately, we are dealing with load shedding. However, the cameraman has thought ahead, arrived before load shedding. So we're going to be overlaying me with all the images and videos of this house with the lights on. So you guys can appreciate just how nice it looks. However, we need to carry on over here. Stunning smeg oven as well as gas top. We've got six burners here, beautiful oven. And I love how this stainless steel piece almost acts as artwork for this kitchen. On the right-hand side, a continuation of the beautiful grey Caesar stone. We've got a chef's sink here, which is a staple for homes of this quality. And this one has one of those nice removable nozzles when you are washing up or prepping your meals. But really another key feature and almost art piece over this kitchen is this double-framed window looking out onto the grounds, beautiful green grounds. If you're cooking, who's going to ask for more? In terms of storage space, you know this place has got you covered. We've got plenty of under-counter storage as well as above-counter storage. And another feature in this kitchen that I think so many people overlook are the handles of the drawers. I love these handles. I think they are very, very nice. And it gives you that farmhouse feel in a home that is very contemporary and modern at the same time. And over here, one of the hidden fridges built into the cupboards. I love the detailing on the cupboards as well. Really nice solid wood and that quality really shines through throughout this home. Behind me, we've got the scullery area. Excuse the echo if it comes through on the mic, but take a look at the scullery area. Plenty of space here. Another one of the stunning windows looking out onto the field. We've got a double-sink under-counter storage for all of the appliances you might need. And over here, a really nice wall unit providing all the storage you might need. Soft clothes, cupboards, quality throughout. And quality is so important. You buy into a lot of these homes and only once you've moved in, you realise the small little things that might throw you off but not in this home. Absolutely stunning. But when talking about high-end homes, what is more high-end than having your very own walk-in refrigerator? Now on your way out of that pantry area, if we open this door on my right-hand side, that leads you to your double garage that's located on this side of the home. There's another single garage catered on the opposite wing of the home. That's a single garage and we're going to show you that. So let's take a walk again through these beautiful living areas. It's past these stunning black double doors that come through your entrance hall. And we'll find ourselves actually approaching another dining area. Now this could be your formal dining area, it could be your informal dining area. I love how it's located right here by some of the bedrooms. And a key selling point of wanting to have dinner in this dining area are these windows behind me. Floor to ceiling, it must be about four metres up, giving you unobstructed views of the greenery behind you as well as those trees off in the distance. It really does act as an incredible art piece. And sitting here having dinner must really be something to enjoy. Over here however you've got your half bathroom. This bathroom includes a single vanity, under counter storage and a toilet tucked away on the right-hand side. Opposite your half bathroom is your office space and here it is right here. Stunning pool table taking up the majority of it. But I love how we've swapped those large gloss tiles for beautiful warm wood flooring above us. We've got central air conditioning as well as these inline spotlights dominating the centre of the room giving you light exactly where you need it. We've got this inbuilt wall unit here. The design elements of the grey continuing throughout the home. I love how this has been built but really who doesn't want to sit down and do work with this view right here. Pocket doors opening up onto this balcony area. We've got stainless steel and glass railings and then unobstructed greenery. Now the owner of this home left a lot of open spaces in the yard as you can see over here as well as over there so that potential home owners here can really bring their own vision to life. If you want to put up an entertainment area if you want to do jacuzzi's maybe even another wing of the home at gymnasium you can do all of that here. You've got the space to really bring your own personal touch to this home which I love. Now another pocket door leading you into the first bedroom of the home that we're going to show you. This bedroom has also got another really cool feature. This central dividing area acts as your cupboards on the other side so pop off on this side and let's take a look at the cupboard area. Now this bedroom's dividing wall acts as a cupboard area. If you go around the back you'll see all the cupboards built into it, plenty of storage space here and also leads off into its very own en suite bathroom. The en suite bathroom's got stunning marble countertops single vanity, under counter storage and a walk in shower that is fully glass framed. The remainder of the bedroom also incorporates that beautiful wood inlays with windows giving you plenty of natural light as well as access to that central air conditioning system the lightings all provided by soft downlights. Walking out of this bedroom will bring you to the access to your single car garage and then take you straight back to the dining room area we just spoke about. But now let's take another stroll down the outside patio enjoy the greenery behind you because I'd love to talk about this entertainment area there's so many things to mention. One, if we talk about lighting we do have downlights we've got this massive pocket door closing off your entrance hall from this outside area but let's go over here because we've got a chef's sink under counter storage, stunning stainless steel gas stove so if you're all having briars out here you know you've got yourself covered in terms of any entertainment you might want. This is a huge area as you can see all of this furniture fits in here very very comfortably but for me this would be my favorite area you've got a built-in bar beautiful wood inlays for the counter that's continued behind you in this feature wall over here the wood does look like bamboo it really is such a stunning addition to this bar two cupboards as well as cupboards underneath and cupboards right over here including in that corner so if you're having parties, if you're having friends over if you're having any kinds of guests you know without a doubt you're going to be able to serve them in style right here by the bar and then over there if we take a quick look this is what they're going to be able to enjoy on sunny days fortunately today is not one of them but take a look, take a gander enjoy this beautiful room flow pool going the length of the garden area terminating in a stunning little fountain imagine sitting in this pool enjoying the grounds enjoying the Gary player golf course all of the stairs here have got built in lights including the stairs down to this fire pit where you can sit roasting some marshmallows can you imagine coming down into your beautiful fire pit roasting some marshmallows with friends and enjoying a cloudless night can you imagine the stars you must see from here it is so nice to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of Santon and all of that light pollution and enjoy nature like it should be but we need to head back inside the house take a walk up those stairs and let's take a look at what the top floor behind me has to offer let's go so we've spoken about the garden area here we are back in the entry hall and something I want to mention a really cool addition to this home are the windows in the corner there that makes this right here the perfect reading nook you can see the owners actually put two bottles of these favourite drinking alcohol or sipping alcohol here sit down with a newspaper in the morning maybe with a book on the weekends enjoy a cup of coffee or a nice whiskey and just enjoy life right here in Bliath or Gulf of State however now it's time for us to venture up these stunning glass and stainless steel staircase take a look through another one of those floor to ceiling windows at the grounds outside and take a look at what the first floor in this incredible home has in stock for us and the first thing I have to say I've noticed is how simple lighting immediately turns into an odd piece when we come up here I love these blank spaces that basically dot the upper floor the chandeliers in this blank space right over here you can see down and through this window down to your front door and over here another open area giving you unobstructed views of the grounds of Bliath on downstairs your dining room area and this floor to ceiling glass window really does show you when you take a look at this parquet that you're coming into something expensive, exclusive, opulent it's a grand entrance and I think no other home does grand entrances like this one right here but if we talk expensive and exclusive we need to take a look at the bedrooms so let's take a look at the first one behind me coming into the first bedroom you really do notice how high the ceilings are including when you come through these doors I love it it makes this home feel expensive really does make it feel quite nice and talking about making a home feel nice I love the fact that all the bedrooms have got this wood flooring over here we've got plenty of cupboard space again with the detailing inlaid into the doors central air conditioning above us inlaid down lit and then on the right hand side of here you've got shelves built in so if this is for somebody still studying if you need a little space to do your homework or maybe even to do your office work these bedrooms got you covered and then it also has access to this long balcony running the length of the home pocket doors in every single one of the rooms and this room right here also has its very own en suite bathroom let's take a look at that let's come out to this balcony and let's take a look at the next bedroom and here we are within the second bedroom located upstairs in this $17,500,000 mansion in Blair Athol again a continuation beautiful wood floors plenty, plenty, plenty of space here pocket door in front of me and then above me beautiful ceilings down lighting central air conditioning cupboards spaced stunningly right here in the corner utilizing space really well and then coming through here brings you straight into your bathroom double vanity this time plenty again of under counter storage beautiful, beautiful veined marble countertops right over here another walk-in shower with stunning grey tiles inlaid in the wall rainfall shower head window to outside as well as one of those floating toilets hidden systems but then you find yourself in another door leading to this open area right here again more cupboard space again central air conditioning plenty of windows and this sliding door leading you out to a front balcony but this makes for a perfect play area or another office space upstairs that can service that room exclusively I love how you've got the option to utilize the space however you see fit this is our entry hall and then let's take a look at that balcony and let's use this balcony to journey all the way across the house I'm going to pass the first bedroom located upstairs we can take in the grounds here in all of its beauty take in the golf course and here is your patio area you've got a door right there that leads off to the upstairs and I love that they've included this space over here for you to utilize however you see fit you've got some lighting on either side as well as the stunning rafters above us weather sealed putting some chairs up here maybe even putting another fireplace or briar area really would be a perfect place to sit down and enjoy this golf course enjoy the views you have your neighbors are so far away you know you can have peace and quiet while sitting up here and just living your best life and really I must say I think we ever purchased this home he's going to be making a fantastic decision the river running through is absolutely stunning I think we're going to overlay some drone shots here and really give you a sense of scale and the sense of peacefulness that comes from living here in Blaethal but we have one place left to show you within this home and for our regular viewers you know what that is the creme de la creme the master suite where you're going to be spending all your evenings in luxury night sleep so let's take a look at that and we can definitely get there using this outside patio and here we are approaching your main living quarters the master suite now all of this is under cover with down lighting so you can leave these stunning sliding doors open even in bed where they're knowing that no rain is going to come in to your sanctuary your area of peace we've got central air conditioning there as well as their stunning chandeliers and a four poster bed right over here there's not a lot of bedrooms even master bedrooms that can make a four poster bed look so small in it so I love the space I love the utilization an area rug right over here will give you a sense of just how big it is you've got your very own living area for you to sit down enjoy TV enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate specifically in weather like this I think hot chocolate would be a fantastic choice but I mean you're living in Blair Athol you've got views like that maybe you don't want to stay inside maybe being inside is not what you want so as you guys have already noticed right over here your very own outside living area you've got an old shaped couch that again doesn't take up too much space all of these areas really have maximized your usage of space a frosted door over there some of our keen-eyed viewers might notice and that takes you to your en-suite bathroom but we'll talk about that in a moment if we look down you've got the downstairs breakfast nook a table as well as inbuilt couch area right over there so if you do want to enjoy breakfast outside you can downstairs but if we come on back in the feeling of specialness really does continue one you know you're coming into a room that's special if you just look at the double doors that make up the entrance to this room but another really cool feature is how they've used plantation shutters to shut off this bedroom from your en-suite closet but yet still giving you that feeling of openness and that feeling of air however that does mean I now need to show you what a walking closet in Blair Athol looks like and it's right behind me come on in take a look sit down let's go shopping and you know if you do go shopping you come back with a lot of clothes no doubt all of these cupboards will suffice to keep all of them you've got cupboard space on all of the walls beautiful mirror right there inbuilt now this mirror is touch so if we did have power you could touch it here and the room illuminates making sure when you get ready you've got all the light you might need in terms of natural light windows flank the mirror on both sides and coming through you'll find yourself in the en-suite bathroom I love it when design elements continue and when designers stick to what they've done take a look at these plantation shutters absolutely massive plantation shutters leading all the way up I mean how cool is this let's close them up and open them up I love that giving you privacy if you need it but also making this just feel also special talking about being special talking about feeling special look at this freestanding bathtub right here

the tiling that's gone on within there that gray towel making it really feel very classy and quite upmarket and tucked away in the corner here another one of those toilets hidden system floating toilet with a door that you can shut if privacy is what you need heat a towel rack in the corner and right in front of me is a frosted glass panel that leads out to that outside balcony so if you want
