To say, that this enormous house has been built to a very high standard is quite simply, an understatement.  The Germans are, by nature, a fastidious bunch and renowned for expecting the best with anything related to engineering and construction.  This sprawling home and the four acre block (plus) it is set on, is no exception.

Specifically built as a commercial and residential property, the home is divided into three sections.  The commercial area (312 m2) is complete with a laboratory and 22-seat auditorium and would be perfect for research, clinic testing or could be converted into more living space.  The second area compasses the living area, which despite the home's grand size, manages to retain a very warm and intimate atmosphere.  the library, complete with floor to ceiling bookshelves (with a ladder) and a fireplace, affirms that this house has been built not as a showcase, but as a residence that can be lived in and enjoyed.  The final section of the Redlynch house incorporates three large bedrooms, all with exquisite views either across the mountains or down the rolling lawns and out to the valley.

It is, without doubt, a grandiose home (total size is close to 1000 m2), but it is the little things that make it one of the most impressive in the region.  The size of the property is enormous, but the rainforest backdrop has been turned into a major feature, with stunning timber boardwalk and suspension bridge surrounding the back of the house.

Technology abounds everywhere with commercial doors fitted with a Bilock security key system.  There is also an electronic sliding entrance gate at the start of the driveway,  a fully monitored alarm system, an eight station TV monitored intercom system and a 53Kw generator that can power the whole  house.  Power surge boards are also installed to protect computer equipment.

But it is not just security that has been well thought out in the design of this house.  Architecturally designed by Nick Brockenshire, the owner's mandate required the house be completely cyclone proof.  Therefore, the overhand of the eves has been kept to a minimum, and three concrete belts run throughout the hose, to offer additional strength.  For maximum protection, all windows are bullet proof (which give it a stronger cyclone protection) and the property contains an underground water tank that hold a capacity of 54,000 litres.

Given its extreme security and safety measures, it would be easy to confuse this property with Fort Knox.  Thankfully, this is not the case.  Cathedral ceiling to seven metres add to the charm of the private quarters, as do the finishing touches of certain features that have been obviously well thought out.  The large kitchen, complete with the expected quality Miele products, runs alongside the laundry, with a large window, which allows the cook/chef/main bottle washer to keep an eye on washing cycles.  The dining area just off the kitchen comes complete with its own accessories so that at breakfast time, the toaster, kettle and all things required, are constantly available from the connected breakfast hutch.  Outside, the beautifully maintained swimming pool showcases a diving board.  The pool has a depth of four metres so that the board is well and truly used.  A spa, located on the same level, is just metres away from the crystal blue pool.  For lovers of exercise, a fully air-conditioned gym, complete with a wall to wall mirror, is also available.

Ten parking bays allow plenty of room for guests, and a separate caretakers cottage/gate house, with a massive mezzanine storage level, are more features of the property.  This spectacular home has been specifically designed for business and lifestyle, and has been a warm family home for the local family who designed it, built and lived in it for the past 14 years.
