Experience private urban-forest living in a rare city oasis, with expansive indigenous gardens, reservoir-turned swimming pool, wide entertaining deck and detached double garage with 1-bed flat.
Discover this enchanting property set on a generous 3,921m2 stand. Featuring a 5-bedroom main residence and a detached double garage with a fully self-contained 1-bedroom flat above, this is a truly unique and sought-after offering.
Upon entering the fully fenced property—secured with cameras and beams—you are immediately immersed in a calm, oasis-like atmosphere. A lush green canopy of mature, predominantly indigenous trees creates a mystical forest ambience. The garden is undoubtedly the showpiece: expansive, low-maintenance, and almost self-sustaining. It evokes the magic of “Circles in the Forest,” offering children an extraordinary playground for adventure and imagination.
At the heart of the garden lies an old reservoir, thoughtfully transformed into a charming, low-maintenance swimming pool—an idyllic retreat on warm summer days.
The main house is accessed via an expansive deck, perfect for year-round entertaining, complete with a built-in braai/barbecue and generous undercover space. Inside, the home flows effortlessly in an open-plan layout from the lounge to the dining room and into a tucked-away kitchen.
The master en-suite bedroom is positioned on the northern side of the home, filled with natural light and featuring its own fireplace for cosy winter evenings. To the south of the lounge are four additional bedrooms, including another en-suite, a shared bathroom, a separate toilet, and a private kitchenette—ideal for extended family or guests.
Courtyards lead off both the dining room and kitchen, enhancing the home’s connection to the outdoors. Many of the bedrooms are separated by drywalling or cupboards, offering flexibility and easy modification without major construction.
This property offers exceptional potential—whether for future expansion, subdivision, or simply enjoyed as the rare urban farmstead it already is.
There is truly so much more to experience here than words can convey. Come and explore this magical property and discover its exceptional charms firsthand.
