Earth Connected
This exceptionally engineered, beautiful, and environmentally friendly house is built into the side of the mountain on Linksfield Ridge in Johannesburg, South Africa.
No 4 New Mountain Road was designed by architect Gerald Gordon, an internationally-recognised expert in construction, innovation, and design, who specialised in designing mountain houses. Gerald taught design and construction at the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, and many of the country’s leading architects were inspired by him.
With its integrated design, construction and finishes, this earth connected home is a house designed by an architect at the height of his abilities.
The endless space is combined with a unique and organic-inspired structure that merges with the natural cliffs and indigenous trees of the mountain. Hugged by stone cliffs, it’s protected from wind and storms, and is remarkably well insulated. It’s a case of freedom, beauty, and refuge in one package.
With five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a lounge, kitchen, and dining room, two studio/offices, off-road parking for four cars, a stunning swimming pool with a viewing deck, and a self-catering cottage and private garden, this is a house that offers serious space for a family. It also calls to collectors of the world’s most magnificent and unique houses; business people from USA / Europe who visit South Africa (or Southern Africa – Johannesburg is a hub for Southern African business) and want their own place; companies seeking discerning accommodation for staff and clients; boutique hotel or B&B owners; or creative people from anywhere looking for a unique and inspiring place to live.
No 4 New Mountain Road is much more than “location, location, location”. Though it’s situated on top of the mountain in the centre of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs, No 4 is located in a peaceful, private, gated community, with no through traffic. The location offers easy access to the City, Rosebank, and Sandton business districts, as well as convenient access to highways and airports. Indeed, it’s one of a few sought-after properties on a street that rarely change hands.
It inspires beauty and spirituality with comfort, and functionality every day – a claim very few properties can make.
