This absolutely gorgeous residence sits on a 5-acre estate of stunning terrain, offering some of the best views in Harare. Beautifully perched on Hugh Williams Drive in Phase One of Shawasha Hills Estate, this architecturally designed building can either be a grand home or an ideal business opportunity as a functions venue and boutique hotel, providing a country-style ambiance while still being within close proximity to city amenities.
An elaborate courtyard welcomes you before entering the quirky (yet sophisticated) decorated spaces, flowing out onto an expansive 220 square metres of teak deck with panoramic views to die for. Entertainment spaces include two adjacent lounges, a grand dining room, a bar/games room, and a library. The kitchen and scullery are spacious and ideal for catering, and this wing of the house has an office and guest toilet.
The bedroom wing has six bedrooms and six bathrooms, all en suite with private patios off each to take in the views. The master bedroom has a private study, walk-in dressing room, and its own courtyard. The two end bedrooms have a shared lounge and kitchenette. The unusual yet clever design of the building allows all rooms and even the bathrooms to benefit from the views of the Shawasha countryside. A swimming pool is nestled in a courtyard with an entertainment gazebo, an ideal hideaway for relaxation.
At the rear of the property is a three-bedroom domestic quarters, a large room (used as a gym), a laundry room, and storerooms. The property is fully fenced and electrified. Two 2,000-litre solar geysers provide hot water to the bedroom wing, and the kitchen has a gas geyser. A 6. 6 kVA solar inverter system and a 15 kVA generator supply power backup to the house, with an additional 1 kVA system for the cottages.
There is a borehole with an estimated capacity of 1,000 litres per hour, as well as water storage tanks. Boom gates and guards support security within the vicinity. Optional extras include 5 acres of adjacent land and tasteful furnishings that enhance the ambience of the residence. This amazing property has previously been run as a boutique hotel and functions venue with great results. The property currently serves as a residence and function venue, with a hotel licence in place. The expansive deck with its stunning views and sunsets can accommodate up to 140 guests.
