Private Family Retreat with Two Income-Generating Cottages in Chartwell

There are properties that offer space, and then there are properties that offer an entirely different way of living.

Privately positioned within Chartwell Country Estate, this exceptional residence is reached by a long, tree-lined panhandle driveway that immediately creates a sense of privacy and separation from the outside world.

Set on approximately 8,500m2 of established, beautifully treed grounds, with around 700m2 under roof across three separate dwellings, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy secure country living without sacrificing comfort, convenience or independence.

The property is supported by a comprehensive solar power system, borehole, pressure pump and a 5,000-litre water storage tank connected to the home. Load shedding and interruptions to the municipal water supply become someone else’s concern, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted daily living.

At the heart of the property is a substantial family home designed for relaxed living and effortless entertaining. The entrance hall opens into generous reception areas comprising two lounges, a dining room and a dedicated home entertainment room.

The living spaces flow naturally to the swimming pool and a large, covered patio with a built-in braai.

Overlooking the peaceful garden, this inviting entertainment area is ideal for long lunches, family gatherings and quiet evenings beneath the trees.

The spacious kitchen is fitted with granite countertops and offers room for a family dining table, making it a welcoming everyday gathering place. A separate scullery and laundry provide ample appliance space and keep the main kitchen uncluttered.

The main residence offers five bedrooms, with the flexibility to use one as an additional study. Two bedrooms are en suite, including the generous main bedroom with its spa bath. A full family bathroom and separate guest cloakroom serve the remainder of the home.

For those working from home, two dedicated offices are conveniently positioned near the entrance hall, allowing business and family life to remain comfortably separate. Fibre connectivity, air conditioning and plentiful power points create a practical and professional working environment.

The accommodation extends beyond the main residence, with two separate, self-contained cottages offering established income-generating potential. They could equally suit extended family, adult children, visiting guests, an au pair or private work premises.

The first cottage comprises a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and lounge. The second, larger cottage offers one-and-a-half bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area. Both cottages enjoy their own sense of privacy and can be separately fenced, making them suitable for tenants or guests with pets.

Security has been carefully considered throughout the property. The panhandle position provide a valuable first layer of protection, supported by electric fencing, entrance surveillance and Maxidor security barriers fitted to both the main residence and gate cottage. The result is a property that feels secluded and peaceful while providing the reassurance required for comfortable family living.

Vehicle accommodation is equally generous. A large triple automated garage comfortably accommodates three substantial vehicles, while a double carport and extensive additional parking provide ample space for family, tenants and guests.

Three secure storerooms are positioned behind the garage, with additional sheds elsewhere on the property offering further storage or the potential for workshops, hobby areas or other practical uses.

Despite its scale, the property feels warm, welcoming and unpretentious. Mature trees, abundant birdlife, open garden spaces and beautiful sunsets create the atmosphere of a genuine country home.

Children have room to explore, pets have space to roam, and the separate dwellings allow for extended family or additional income without compromising the privacy of the main household.

This is a home for a buyer who values independence, security, privacy and space.
