The approximately 1,050m² main residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship and carefully considered finishes throughout.

At the heart of the home is an Italian-designed kitchen created for both everyday family living and effortless entertaining. A striking French oak bar and wine cellar, together with gas and wood-burning fireplaces, further enhance the home's distinctive character and inviting atmosphere.
Four beautifully proportioned en-suite bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, complemented by two additional guest bathrooms.
For those working from home, the residence offers an exceptional multi-level office suite extending across the second and third floors. This private area incorporates two lounges, a library and storeroom and, together with the nearby guest shower room, could easily be transformed into a luxurious guest suite, creative studio or private loft-style apartment for an older child or young adult. A second independent workspace is situated on the second floor and opens onto its own balcony.
Designed around entertaining and an effortless connection with the outdoors, the living spaces flow seamlessly onto expansive exterior areas overlooking the gardens. The swimming pool forms a striking focal point, creating the atmosphere of a private luxury lodge and giving the home an unmistakable holiday feel.
Beyond the pool, a tranquil pond and secluded boma invite relaxed evenings beneath the stars, while sweeping lawns and extensive landscaped gardens provide exceptional space for entertaining, celebrations and outdoor activities. Nearly every room enjoys beautiful garden outlooks and elevated views towards Waterfall City.
As evening falls, the position of the property truly comes into its own, revealing spectacular views of the illuminated city skyline.
For the motoring enthusiast, collector or large family, seven garages and two workshops provide exceptional space for vehicles, recreational equipment and hobbies.
A remarkable feature of the property is the approximately 450m² separate cottage, substantial enough to be considered a luxury residence in its own right.
The cottage offers expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, a TV nook and a large enclosed entertainment patio with its own bar. It includes two en-suite bedrooms, two bathrooms and an additional guest shower room serving the study or third bedroom.
With its own extensive gardens, privacy and beautiful views, the cottage is perfectly suited to extended family, long-term guests or independent accommodation. It could alternatively be incorporated into the main residence.
