Potchefstroom, Potchefstroom Rural
Imagine waking up to the peaceful flow of the Vaal River, spotting buck wandering through the estate, and enjoying the kind of privacy that makes you forget the rest of the world exists. Situated in an exclusive estate with only 12 properties, this exceptional riverside home offers space, tranquillity and versatile living just 20 minutes from Potchefstroom.
The secure estate is protected by electric fencing and is home to four species of buck. Monthly levies are R3 100, with rates and taxes of approximately R1 126.
The property has its own electrified fencing, borehole water and a sprinkler system throughout the garden. The irrigation is powered by a pump drawing water from the river because even the garden gets to enjoy the Vaal lifestyle.
The spacious main house features an open-plan kitchen, dining room and lounge, complemented by a separate scullery and a cosy indoor fireplace. It offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with two of the bedrooms sharing an en-suite bathroom.
Practical extras include a walk-in pantry, linen room, laundry room and a large office divided into two separate rooms ideal for working from home without working from the dining-room table.
An enclosed courtyard with a fishpond creates a peaceful retreat, while the pizza oven and braai area are ready for long afternoons with family and friends. There is also a large double garage with an electric door, a lock-up shed, an additional outside bathroom and a separate outdoor toilet.
The home is supported by both solar and grid electricity, with eight solar panels and a 4.8 kWh system.
The separate cottage is far more than an ordinary guest suite. It offers a large air-conditioned bedroom, a full bathroom, guest toilet, spacious open-plan kitchen and lounge, separate scullery and an additional air-conditioned living area. A newly fitted indoor fireplace, backed by a ten-year warranty, makes it especially inviting during winter.
The cottage also has its own large single garage with an electric door, as well as a solar-and-grid system comprising ten panels and a 5 kWh setup. It is ideal for extended family, guests or rental income although your visitors may become suspiciously reluctant to leave.
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy secure estate living, river frontage, abundant space and exceptional privacy within easy reach of Potchefstroom. Here, the Vaal River is not a weekend destination it is your backyard.
