Live and earn in Baileys Muckleneuk near the University of Pretoria — spacious estate with pool, boma and eight self-contained income units; 13 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms.
Offering a rare blend of elegant private living and immediate income potential, this exceptional property provides far more than a traditional home. The estate combines a substantial main residence with fully independent accommodation units, allowing an owner to live comfortably on-site while generating revenue or operating a professional practice.
Beyond its current guesthouse use, the layout is equally suited to consulting rooms, attorneys’ offices, medical or therapy suites, executive or long-stay rentals, student accommodation, or a multi-generational family residence with private quarters. Conveniently situated in Baileys Muckleneuk near main routes, leading schools, hospitals, shopping centres and the University of Pretoria, the property offers flexibility together with a prime location.
The main residence measures 618.8 square metres and is complemented by an additional 283.46 square metres of separate accommodation, thoughtfully positioned to maintain privacy between the home and the units.
The entrance leads into spacious, light-filled living areas designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Wooden stacking doors open onto a covered wrap-around patio overlooking a landscaped, low-maintenance garden and swimming pool. The outdoor entertainment area includes a boma, braai and pizza oven, while three fireplaces, including a fireplace-braai, add warmth and character to the living spaces.
The open-plan living and dining areas flow into a modern kitchen fitted with a central island and gas hob, extensive built-in cupboards, ample fridge space, and a large pantry with shelving. A separate scullery leads to a courtyard and further storage. The home also offers a dedicated laundry and an additional storeroom.
The five-bedroom layout is flexible and well suited to family living. Three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, while a fourth bedroom is served by a separate bathroom. Upstairs, a spacious office suite with lounge area provides an ideal work-from-home environment or studio. The main bedroom, accessed from this level, forms a private retreat with a lounge area, fireplace, walk-in dressing room and full en-suite bathroom.
Behind the residence are eight private units, each with its own entrance, kitchenette, en-suite bathroom and built-in cupboards, ranging from studio rooms to a two-bedroom flatlet. Ample on-site parking is available, and two staff rooms with a shared bathroom are positioned separately.
Practical features include a comprehensive solar system with two 12 kVA inverters, two 10.8 kVA batteries and three 7 kW generators, along with air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.
The property is fully walled and secured with an alarm system and armed response, perimeter beams, CCTV surveillance and a remote-controlled gate.
This is a unique opportunity for investors, professionals or families seeking a substantial residence with adaptable space and strong long-term value in a prestigious location.
