Steeped in history and rich in timeless character, this magnificent Cape Dutch home is a celebration of heritage, pride, and enduring craftsmanship. Its striking beauty, elegant architecture, and the countless stories woven into its walls will captivate and inspire, leaving a lasting impression on all who experience it.
Built in the late 1950s for Mr Braby in the timeless Cape Dutch Revival style, an architectural design celebrated from the 1920s through to the 1960s, this remarkable residence is rich in history and character. Lovingly cherished by just four families over the decades, the home has been thoughtfully modernised to seamlessly blend its heritage charm with the comforts of contemporary family living, offering exceptional spaces for everyday convenience, entertaining, and creating lasting memories.
The main residence is a spacious and elegant home, offering five generously proportioned bedrooms, two inviting lounges, a dedicated billiards room, and a private study. A charming wrap-around patio embraces the home, creating the perfect setting for relaxed family living and effortless entertaining.
The kitchen is breathtaking! It has been thoughtfully designed with contemporary finishes, exceptional lighting, and an abundance of space, seamlessly combining style, practicality, and convenience.
Complementing the main residence are two completely separate and private two-bedroom cottages, each featuring its own well-appointed kitchen and comfortable living spaces. One of the cottages also boasts the added luxury of a private sauna, enhancing its appeal for extended family, guests, or rental income.
The property further offers two domestic rooms conveniently positioned adjacent to the main house, as well as a completely separate staff accommodation comprising two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a covered patio. This versatile space presents an excellent opportunity for an easy conversion into an additional income-generating cottage or self-contained flatlet.
Step outside onto the spectacular viewing deck, where breathtaking panoramic vistas stretch across the valley towards the iconic Valley of a Thousand Hills. For the active family, a fully enclosed AstroTurf sports area provides the perfect space for soccer, cricket, or hockey, ensuring endless entertainment for children in a safe environment.
The outdoor entertainment area is nothing short of exceptional. Relax beside the sparkling pool, unwind in the jacuzzi, or gather with friends at the stylish entertainment bar. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the unique glass-enclosed tasting room, positioned alongside the wine cellar, creating an elegant and intimate setting for private dinners, sophisticated wine tastings, and unforgettable evenings of entertaining.
Set across three separate erven, this exceptional property offers an abundance of land, presenting outstanding opportunities for future development and expansion. Whether envisioned as an exclusive private estate for a large or multi-generational family, or transformed into a prestigious boutique hotel, luxury bed and breakfast, spa and wellness retreat, or bespoke hospitality destination, the possibilities are truly endless. Added to this is the solar and back up water, (let's not forget).
This is a rare opportunity to secure a property where lifestyle, investment potential, and vision come together seamlessly. Looking forward to showing this one off.
