Upmarket Mooikloof Equestrian Family Home with Flat, Solar and Borehole

This exclusive mandate luxury listing is brought to you by eXp Realty.

Mediterranean-Inspired Architectural Home with Large Flat, Expansive Garden, Solar, Borehole and Generator. Situated inside the Exclusive Mooikloof Equestrian Estate

As the main gate opens and you enter inside, you are immediately drawn into a striking avenue of mature trees standing tall on either side of the driveway. Their branches arch overhead to form a natural green canopy, filtering soft light and creating an immediate sense of privacy and calm. The outside world seems to fade away, and there is a quiet sense of arrival – of coming home to somewhere incredibly special, and enchanting. It is clear – this is a residence designed with intention, scale, and architectural presence. To the owner, this home is safety, peace, and serenity, and to those who are privileged enough to visit it, this home signals timeless grandeur and class.

Situated in a quiet, low-traffic street within Mooikloof Equestrian Estate, this architect-designed home by renowned local architect Sonja Neitz draws inspiration from Mediterranean Revival architecture, thoughtfully adapted for South African living. Classical symmetry, arched verandas, deep roof overhangs, and layered rooflines create both aesthetic elegance and climate-sensitive design.

A defining exterior feature is the decorative spaced brickwork (hit-and-miss brick detailing), a traditional architectural technique that allows natural ventilation and filtered light while maintaining privacy. In our climate, this passive design element helps with airflow and heat management — a subtle yet valuable feature seldom found in standard suburban builds.

The concrete cobble-paved driveway leads to an elegant motor court, reinforcing the estate-like arrival experience. This paving system is structurally resilient, managing load effectively and is easier to maintain than conventional slab concrete, adding both practicality and visual appeal.

Generous Living & Entertaining Spaces

The main lounge features a high ceiling and wood-burning fireplace, creating warmth and character during cooler months. Large wood-framed stacker doors open onto a covered patio with built-in braai, wash-up basin, and wooden bar — an inviting area that flows seamlessly into the landscaped garden and pool. This is a perfect spot for sundowners and relaxed entertaining.

Natural light is a consistent feature throughout the home. Long horizontal window spans and warm wood-framed glazing allow abundant sunlight into the interiors while maintaining privacy and garden views. The scale of the windows enhances the sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.

A dedicated dining room is positioned adjacent to the kitchen for effortless flow, also with stacking doors opening into the green verdure of the garden.

Additional living areas include:

·Two lounge areas: a formal lounge in the double-volume open living space and one informal TV lounge alongside.

·A sunny multipurpose corner room, ideal as a playroom; study area, or prayer room.

·A spacious, air-conditioned cinema room with latest HDMI cabling, privately positioned in the house for immersive and memorable movie nights.

·Fitted and ceiling speakers in the cinema room, dining room, and verandah, for full entertainment.

Kitchen & Utility Areas

A well-planned kitchen is at the heart of the home, fitted with a centre island with stove top and extractor fan, a separate double oven, black granite countertops, and solid wooden cabinetry. A walk-in pantry provides excellent storage, while the adjoining scullery and laundry, work room and storage room, keep working areas discreet and organised. There is ample counter space to prepare meals, with barstools positioned alongside for keeping the family together during meal prepping and cooking.

Private Guest Suite & Exceptional Flat

There is a large guest bedroom downstairs that is off to the side of the house, creating a space that is separate from the main house, with a full en-suite bathroom for your guests’ convenience.

Another major benefit to this amazing home is the large flat adjoining the house, which can provide an extra income stream if rented out.

This flat is unique in that it has so many exclusive living areas. These include a comfortable lounge, a study, a hobby room or indoor gym, a dining room and a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

The flat has its own kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry. It also has its own private covered outdoor patio with a built-in braai and private garden view with water feature fountains. Also included is a courtyard with outdoor washing facilities and wash line, two garages and its own separate entrance. The passageway that leads to the flat has more shelves for storage space. This is the perfect private space for multi-generational families, extended families or those that like to have guests stay over in complete style and luxury.

Upstairs Accommodation & Library Landing

An elegant handcrafted wooden staircase leads to a generous library landing, creating a quiet reading and study space. An air-conditioned study offers a productive work-from-home environment, complete with a balcony and front garden view.

All three bedrooms open onto a central covered balcony with wooden ceiling panels, overlooking the established garden — a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or evening sunsets, and an ability to watch the abundant bird life. There is access to a side patio at the end of the passageway, again with lovely garden views, creating another private chill-out space, so everyone in the family can have their own haven.

Superior Living

For climate and comfort, the home has five air-conditioners strategically placed in key rooms, providing cooling where needed most. Underfloor heating in the main areas offers cosy warmth in winter and can be reconnected to the solar system if desired. A wood fireplace in the lounge adds character and warmth on cooler evenings, while the heated swimming pool extends your swimming season beyond the hottest months. The newly updated LED lighting system gives bright, energy-efficient light throughout the home.

Security and access have also been carefully considered. The property has lightning protection poles (earthed at the lapa), a security alarm system and a pet-secure garden boundary that keeps pets safely inside the property. There are two manual service gate entrances to allow for large vehicles to enter the property through their own access gates, thereby protecting your driveway from damage.
