Perched on a rocky outcrop with sweeping views of the Hillside Dams, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and timeless character. Built in a safari-lodge style, it blends traditional charm with modern functionality, making it an ideal family residence, executive retreat, or commercial investment.

The master enjoys its own private wing with a large en-suite bathroom, dressing room (or nursery), and a separate entrance from the garden. The additional three bedrooms share a family bathroom and lavatory, ensuring comfort and convenience for family or guests. Overlooking the pool and aloe garden, the master suite creates a peaceful sanctuary within the home.

At the heart of the residence lies a spacious, open-plan kitchen designed as both a functional workspace and a social hub.

The Trophy (TV) Room adds a more intimate, relaxed setting, while a large scullery supports effortless entertaining.

The design embraces outdoor living, with wide verandas, a star-gazing deck, and a braai terrace offering ample entertainment options. A central fire pit with a cocktail and sundowner terrace creates a magical focal point for evenings under the African sky. A pool with thatched gazebo is complemented by a flexible office space nearby, ideal as a playroom, media room, or creative studio, making it a practical addition to the property’s leisure and lifestyle amenities. Landscaped aloe gardens and direct access to Hillside Dams further enhance the unique appeal.

Additional accommodation includes a two-bedroom guest cottage with en-suite bathrooms and kitchenette, providing privacy for visitors or extended family. Practicality is ensured with multiple garages, storerooms, two offices, staff housing, solar power, and a water-wise garden supported by reliable municipal supply.

Its scale and layout create opportunities well beyond family living. With its hilltop privacy, expansive grounds, and prime location near Whitestone School, this property is equally suited to transformation into an exclusive boutique lodge, health spa, corporate headquarters, or other commercial ventures.
