A sprawling nine-bedroom mansion with a sauna and swimming pool has gone on the market for £3.5 million.
The detached gated property in St Brides-super-Ely, a ten-minute drive from Cardiff, is set within six acres of the rolling countryside.
The brochure markets the home as being ‘designed for both grand entertaining and intimate family life’.
It also boasts a tennis court, landscaped gardens, six stables, gym, games room, and a ‘sophisticated’ bar.
But the price of living in luxury also comes with a small catch – being on the doorstep of one of Britain’s busiest motorways.
Aerial images of the property show it sitting in touching distance of the M4, which has around 130,000 vehicles travelling along its 189 mile road every day.
Its close proximity to the motorway and junction 34 means the luxury pad has ‘seamless access to the wider region’, according to the home’s advert.
The home also has an ‘impressive curved staircase with a galleried landing’ and boasts eight ensuite bathrooms, three kitchens, a swimming pool and a football pitch.

And despite sitting a stone’s throw from the M4, near junction 34, it offers ‘uninterrupted 360-degree countryside views’ beyond the electric-gated entrance.
Outside there are six acres of private land featuring also six stables and ‘a mix of manicured lawns, raised vegetable beds, an orchard, and beehives’.
The advert reads: ‘The estate’s six acres of private land provide an unparalleled outdoor experience.
‘The electric-gated entrance leads to an extensive driveway with ample parking, while the beautifully landscaped gardens feature a mix of manicured lawns, raised vegetable beds, an orchard, and beehives.
‘For equestrian enthusiasts, six high-quality stables are ready for use. The tennis court is currently used as a professional 3G sports pitch ideal for active families.
‘The indoor swimming pool opens directly to the gardens, offering the perfect setting for summer pool parties and tranquil relaxation.
‘Every element of the outdoor space has been designed to enhance the natural beauty and serenity of the surroundings.’
It is for sale through Fine and Country South Wales.
MailOnline recently catalogued some of the weirdest and wackiest homes that have been flogged by estate agents over the years.

They included a two-bedroom flat riddled with black mould, which somehow sold for £27,000 more than its asking price just earlier this month.
The property in Thamesmead, south-east London, was initially listed by Action House London for £90,000 but was quickly snapped up by a keen buyer for £117,000.
Across the country, in Wakefield, Yorkshire, an old courthouse with prison cells in its basement became available to rent for £750-a-month in 2023.
Dubbed a true crime fan’s dream, the old Magistrates Court turned two-bedroom flat had the cells available as storage space for an additional fee.
Some people, however, joked that the basement jails could be used by parents as a punishment for their misbehaving children.
And back in the capital, a flat smaller than a parking space was listed for £270,000, in another prime example of London’s stupendously over-priced property market.
At just 6.6 square metres, the flat opposite Harrods in the Knightsbridge area of west London had room for just a tiny single bed and a microwave.
Yet the ad, which appeared on Rightmove listed by agency Grow Portfolio, bizarrely described the tiny flat as a ‘stunning studio apartment’ which is the ‘epitome of luxurious city living’.
