On the banks of the Magaliesberg River and a mere 45 minutes from Johannesburg and Pretoria is this fantastic Country Mansion set within a fairytale landscape of ornamental dams well stocked with fish.

From the moment you drive through the gatehouse portico onto this property you are immediately aware that you have entered a magical water-world estate. This place makes a statement in its opening scene and as you move through the various acts you discover a stunning masterpiece fit for any quality conscious new owner.

The manor house is framed by large ornamental lakes with bridges and manicured lawn areas. The paved driveway with post and rail fencing and lighting leads up to the main entrance of the home. A welcoming entrance hall leads into a cavernous triple volume great room with fireplace and leads to a modern family kitchen and a generous dining room again with its own fireplace. Complimenting the kitchen are a walk in pantry, a scullery and a laundry room.

The dormitory wing of the home has two large bedrooms for your offspring and a generous family bathroom on the ground floor as well as a third large bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. The upper floor is entirely devoted to the master suite and comprises a large bedroom with designer en-suite bathroom, a spacious patio deck and a large room leading off it for a jacuzzi, sauna and/or gym. Almost all the home is air conditioned and has a central vacuum system.

Through a connecting door from the entrance hall one accesses the double garage with ceramic tile floors and automated roll up doors. Adjacent to the garage is a spacious air-conditioned hobby room or man-cave and a self contained bedroom with a full bathroom which has application as a home office with direct access to a central courtyard. Perhaps the crowning jewel to this country manor is the cavernous double-volume lapa with indoor braai and several cozy seating areas and bow shaped picture windows looking out to a private garden area which contains a feature swimming pool.

 

A flower filled formal garden area with a designer herb and vegetable section separates the manor from a large hall/factory area and a complimentary ablution block. This building has successfully hosted weddings and conferences and has recently been fully equipped to provide all the facilities for a water bottling business which takes advantage of the quality of water (tested and certified) from the 100 000l/hour borehole.

And a separate cottage with two bedrooms for extra guests or that flightless older offspring!

Approximately 1ha of pastures are fully irrigated making it realistic to add some fallow deer or an antelope or two.

There are so many features to this special property that you really need to check it out. With over 1000mē of home and buildings the replacement cost would exceed R6 million. The present builder/owner built it all and  his family plans have changed obliging him to re-locate to the Cape so.................just R 3,850,000 secures this gem.

YES a bona fide BARGAIN!
