Perfect Escape: Nautilus Estate

WORDS Michaela Stehr IMAGES Supplied

Nautilus Estate, a brand new luxury concept by international architecture firm Luxury Frontiers brings pared-back seaside living to the dunes of Keurboomstrand.

Surrounded by undulating dunes, rolling blue mountains, expansive milkwood forests, and the warm and inviting Indian Ocean, Nautilus Estate is set to put pure coastal relaxation at front of mind. The Garden Route is a hub of natural wonder, abundant with indigenous flora and fauna, with neighbouring towns close enough for all the comforts of city living around the corner.

Currently under development all villas in the estate will have unobstructed views of the ocean. Privacy is a key factor in the design, so that residents may not see their neighbours if that’s their preference. The design ensures that residents and visitors alike can feel completely isolated… in the best possible way, of course.

The architecture will embrace the surrounding landscape – remaining unobtrusive and mindful, while still creating a striking and contemporary atmosphere with organic shapes, flowing lines and the use of natural materials, blending the villas into the topography of the Garden Route and its natural beauty. With all of the architecture and design focusing on being entirely eco-conscious and entirely off-the-grid, the Nautilus Estate is also set to qualify for a Green Star rating.

There are also plans to expand the estate to include the Nautilus Resort, which will offer an exclusive lodge experience. Villa owners on the estate can opt to keep their home private or join as a part of the resort structure where owners may rent out their piece of paradise to holidaymakers wishing to share this exclusive experience. World-class facilities will be on offer to guests, spanning from a luxury spa and wellness facility, a fine dining restaurant, a state-of-the-art wine cellar and a helipad. 

The buried Guest Units on the resort will offer a one-of-a-kind guest experience while the architecture will accommodate the reinstated Milkwood forest – allowing nature to take over, with a leafy canopy enveloping the roofs.

With a juxtaposition between modern sleek design and a respect for nature, the Nautilus Estate and future Nautilus Resort will be the perfect holiday escape to completely immerse yourself in nature while experiencing peak luxury and design.
