A Better Way to Live in the Middle of the City

This sanctuary for nature lovers, just 4 km from the Mall of Africa, offers three separate homes for diverse and extended families, as well as home office space, four lock-up garages, a stunning rock swimming pool with cocktail pond, all set in an idyllic forest with a river running through it. The property is on 100% borehole water, tried and tested, with results exceeding municipal quality standards by 10 times.

Mom's house has a huge family kitchen, with miles of countertop space, a walk-in pantry, and a separate scullery, perfect for entertaining, as it is open-plan to the lounge/TV room or dining room if preferred, but also accesses the spacious undercover patio, where al fresco dining can be enjoyed all year round, overlooking green lawns and the river. The enclosed vegetable garden is close at hand, with overhead irrigation and the fire pit invites the family to gather around on winter nights. The 2 large bedrooms each have their own spacious bathrooms, and there is a safe room to store valuables, as well as an additional sunny office or separate lounge, leading out to the patio.

The adult children's house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a galley kitchen for cooking and cleaning, extending into a double-volume kitchen with floor-to-ceiling cabinets and a prep area, with an open-plan dining room. A step down takes you into additional space that can be used as a home office, and then into the spacious family lounge, which leads outside to the lapa and outdoor entertaining area. It has a roaring fireplace for gathering in winter, and the rock swimming pool is just steps away for summer fun.

Granny's Cottage, 75sqm for elderly parents, or a young adult is in close proximity, where mom can keep an eye from her office/lounge or bedrooms. It offers a spacious kitchen with a breakfast bar, an open-plan lounge with a stunning bedroom, large enough to include a sitting area or study, and a bathroom with a shower, which has a shower seat. It has an undercover stoep overlooking the vegetable garden and the property offers space to enjoy extensive walks in nature.

The main houses are built with sufficient foundations to build a double storey. The communal family spaces include a 12m deck over the river, called Zanzibar. The ideal place, under the weeping willows, to watch the river come down in the rainy summers, and known to accommodate a 12 seater table for Christmas lunches, and other family functions. It has a built-in bar, and a mini spit braai installed. The rooftop garden is perfect for catching the last of the winter's late afternoon sun or enjoying a sundowner through summer, spring, and autumn. There is a "tree-house" on stilts, for the young adventurous ones, who like to catch crabs in the river or row a canoe up and down, and who enjoy their own clubhouse. Across the river are the duck pond, beautiful natural rock formations, and the compost corner, from which the garden can be fed all year round. The nursery offers the perfect space for green fingers to grow seedlings through the winter frost, and follow their passion for gardening, and the perfect storage for garden equipment. The garden shed has additional storage for everything else. Beyond the vegetable garden is the chicken coop, where fresh eggs are available most days.

The property is down a double panhandle, meaning there is no boundary wall on a public road, and it is completely private from public view. The neighbors are friendly and helpful, and the community has many WhatsApp groups, depending on your interest. Security is supported by the Neighborhood watch, CPF, as well as a dedicated police vehicle, cell numbers included. The neighbors provide all the required electric fencing. We have easy access and are in close proximity to Waterfall City, Grand Central Airport, Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand's Business Hub, Eduvos College, and the Gautrain Station.
