Description

Imagine waking up to the quiet of the countryside, opening your doors to fresh river air and ending the day around the braai while the sun settles over the Vaal River. Situated approximately 30 km outside Douglas, this beautiful riverfront property offers more than just a home, it offers a lifestyle. A place where weekends feel longer, children have space to explore, friends gather around the fire, and the river becomes part of everyday life. At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen finished with elegant marble countertops. It flows effortlessly into the living area, where a built-in fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder months. Stacking doors open onto the patio and outdoor built-in braai, making entertaining easy and bringing the outdoors right into the home. The main residence offers three generously sized bedrooms, each with its **own en-suite bathroom**. Sliding doors from the bedrooms lead outside, allowing natural light and the peaceful surroundings to become part of each room. A separate laundry room, complete with an additional shower and space for laundry appliances, adds extra practicality to the home. But the property doesn't end there. A separate flatlet creates even more possibilities. With its open-plan bedroom, kitchen and living area, granite countertops, built-in cupboards, tiled floors and private en-suite bathroom, it is ideal for visiting family, guests, an older child or even additional accommodation. For those working from home, the property also includes two separate outside offices, offering peaceful workspaces away from the main living areas. An additional outside room with bathroom fittings provides further potential. The bathroom is currently not connected to the water or sewerage system and is therefore not considered a functioning bathroom, but the space offers an opportunity for the new owner to adapt it according to their needs. The property is also equipped for more independent country living, with a solar and inverter system, approximately 6.7 kWh of solar panels, two 150-litre electric geysers, a water tank with pressure pump and a 1.1 kW submersible pump supplying filtered river water to the kitchen and bathrooms. The established garden is supported by an irrigation system, while the fully fenced property, sliding entrance gate and double garages provide additional privacy and convenience. And then there is the river. Here, weekends can mean fishing from the bank, kayaking, boating, cycling, walking or simply sitting outside listening to the call of the fish eagle. With approximately **30 km of navigable water**, boating enthusiasts have plenty of river to explore. This is the kind of property that is difficult to understand from photographs alone. It is the early mornings. The sunsets. The fireplace in winter. The braais that turn into long evenings. The sound of the river nearby. It is a home for someone who wants more than four walls. It is a place to live, breathe, entertain and make memories. Contact me today to arrange a private viewing and experience this Vaal River property for yourself.
