Versatile Florida Hills Home With Cottage & Business Potential

Welcome to a property that truly offers space, comfort, and versatility — perfectly positioned in the ever-popular Florida Hills on a generous 1,487m2 stand. Whether you’re looking for a forever family home, a multi-generational living setup, or a property with the potential to support a business environment, this one ticks all the right boxes.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the sense of openness this home provides. The main house offers a warm and inviting flow, with a spacious lounge that leads out to the patio — ideal for relaxed evenings, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the calm of your own private space. The dining area is perfectly positioned for family meals and special occasions, creating a natural connection between the living areas and the heart of the home.

The kitchen is impressively sized and functional, offering plenty of workspace and room to tailor it to your own style and needs. With the added convenience of a separate scullery, everyday living feels that much easier and more organized.

The main home features 3 well-sized bedrooms, a study, and 2 bathrooms, including a main ensuite, offering the ideal combination of comfort and privacy. The study is a valuable bonus — perfect for working from home, a homework space, or even a quiet reading room.

Step outside and you’ll find one of the home’s standout features: a lush, established garden with a sparkling swimming pool, creating the perfect setting for weekend braais, family gatherings, and those sunny summer days that South Africa does best.

Adding even more value is the separate 2-bedroom cottage, complete with open-plan living and its own private patio. This additional space is ideal for extended family, visiting guests, rental income, or a private work-from-home solution — giving you flexibility that is hard to find.

Parking is well taken care of with a double garage and additional covered parking, and the home is further supported by CCTV security, offering peace of mind.

What makes this property even more attractive is its position on a service road where many neighboring homes have already been converted into office spaces. With ample front yard space available, there is excellent potential for additional parking — making this a fantastic option for buyers who may want to explore a home-and-business lifestyle or consider a future conversion into business premises (subject to the necessary approvals).

This is not just a home — it’s an opportunity to secure a property that offers space to grow, space to live, and space to create your own vision in one of the most convenient parts of Florida Hills.
