If you are interested in an exclusive, private estate of over 2 acres of gorgeous garden in a boomed enclosure, with a carefully crafted home, using superb materials and finishes - this is for you! And BONUS - a huge generator, borehole and two 10,000 litre water tanks!

The driveway curves through the magnificently laid-out grounds, which have an abundance of large trees, lawns, streams and fountains, to the parking circle and extensive main house. With understated luxury, using beautifully crafted kiaat wood, imported wool carpets, carefully laid travertine flooring, fireplaces with mantelpieces and marble surrounds, picture windows and French doors taking advantage of the panoramic garden views, the owners have taken great care in creating this paradise.

The entrance hall looks through the spacious family lounge to the garden and the wide breezeway flows to the study, guest cloakroom, further reception rooms, and past the staircase and elevator to the kitchen.
