Breathtakingly beautiful family home set in fairytale grounds within a peaceful and highly secure controlled-access area.

We invite you to explore this beautiful property where 100-year old trees tower over abundant established gardens with rolling lawns, inviting swimming pool, garden pond, outdoor chess board and private boma.

The driveway brings you to the front façade where a tinkling fountain welcomes you. Entering the home, the chequerboard tiles of entrance hall are embraced by a curved staircase topped by glistening chandelier.

Large and comfortable reception areas include a gracious dining room, cosy formal lounge with gas fireplace and relaxed TV lounge. These flow out to a covered patio overlooking the lovely grounds.
