TIMELESS WATERKLOOF ESTATE WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS & THATCHED COTTAGE

Perched high above Pretoria with unobstructed views of the Union Buildings and the Magalies Mountain range, this exquisite Waterkloof property in a gated street, offers an extraordinary blend of space, style, and architectural charm. Transformed from a flamboyant villa into a refined and sophisticated estate, the residence now includes over 1,100 square meters of interior space set on a 2,000 square meter stand. The entire house has been fitted with wooden flooring (20 years guaranteed), infusing the interior with warmth and character, and extending seamlessly to the covered/tiled terraces, patios, and balconies. These outdoor areas provide a tranquil ambiance, ideal for relaxation or entertaining. A rim-flow swimming pool completes the experience, offering a rejuvenating retreat amidst the rugged beauty of the mountainous terrain. The estate is composed of three unique buildings. The main house, a grand three-level mansion, greets guests with a sweeping double-sided staircase that leads from the ground floor foyer to the elegant living areas upstairs. Wide corridors open into a formal lounge, a family room, and a study—all of which flow onto expansive terraces that capture the breathtaking landscape. The uppermost floor features five en-suite bedrooms, including a luxurious main suite with two dressing areas, a lounge space, a private balcony, and seamless access to the wrap-around terrace via stack-away doors. Three of the bedrooms and the TV lounge open onto this expansive terrace, perfect for enjoying sunrise coffee or sundowner cocktails with panoramic city views. On the ground floor, you'll find a beautifully designed entertainment level with a built-in bar, guest bathroom, wine cellar, and access to a sparkling swimming pool and shaded pool veranda. There are also five garages, ensuring both convenience and secure parking. Tucked into the hillside is a fully refurbished three-level thatched cottage, accessible via a path through the herb garden and citrus trees. It includes a kitchen on the lower level, living areas and a bedroom with en-suite on the mid-level, and a skylit loft that can serve as a second bedroom or home office. A wrap-around terrace enhances its charm and privacy, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or as an income-generating unit. The third building houses practical lifestyle features: two staff rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a separate laundry, and upstairs, a fully equipped gym with sliding doors and city-facing views. The newly landscaped garden wraps around the home with multiple terraces, sculpted paths, and lush greenery, all complemented by a winding driveway that leads to a dramatic Porte Cochère entrance. The hallmark and extremely unique features of this property are its security, privacy, space, elevations, and the quality and high-end finishes used throughout the buildings. With 3 internal and 2 external staircases, multiple living zones, outdoor entertainment spaces, and layers of architectural detail, this property offers more than a home—it’s a statement. Perfect for executive families, entertainers, or multi-generational living, this Waterkloof estate is where comfort, prestige, and iconic location converge.
