Vaal River Watersport, Boating Happens all the time!

This beautiful homestead and an entertainer's dream, just 10 minutes out of Vanderbijlpark’s CBD, is a must see! The 1 220 square meter house is built on 3.1405 ha land and borders the Vaal River on the Gauteng side. Great, clean boating, watersport, fishing and more. This is one of the only pieces next to the river, that has no buildings on the opposite side of the river, which makes for very peaceful surroundings.

The entrance to the property has an automated sliding gate and takes you right down a long, paved driveway, straight to the waterside, past rolling lawns and well kept animal enclosures.

The house has a very impressive open plan entrance with views right through the lounge, down the lawns with spectacular views of the river from every window. The kitchen, dining area, lounge, bar and entertainment area, all make part of the open-plan living area. A wrap-around veranda leads out of this area, where you can enjoy beautiful sunny days and amazing sunsets, and views over the ever blue swimming pool and boathouse.
The kitchen is a state-of-the-art Easylife design with granite tops, a huge island as a breakfast nook, an electrical/gas oven and stove, as well as a stainless steel extractor hood, and also a build-in butler’s sink. The scullery has a double sink and dishwasher, washing machine & dryer, all tucked away nicely under a granite counter tops. The food pantry is any caterer’s dream with shelves right around where all foodstuffs and cooking appliances can be neatly stored. There is also a second separate pantry, that holds the fridge and freezers for the kitchen.

The bar area has a 5-door build-in undercounter fridge with glass windows, and the granite bar counter and cupboards to match those of the kitchen, just around the corner from it. A full bathroom with toilet, basin and shower, serves the bar area.
The lounge, and all the above mentioned areas, lead out to a partially covered stoep or veranda area with expansive views over the garden, lawns, swimming pool and the Vaal River.

The formal dining room and kiddies games room, are part of,- but also separate from all of the above mentioned areas.
The 30 meter long passage first leads to a study or working room, then down to the main bedroom and 2 adjacent rooms, all with sliding doors that lead out to the veranda or stoep area again.

The airconditioned main bedroom is 7m x 6m big with double sliding doors that open onto the veranda, and has beautiful views over the garden and river. The master en-suite bathroom has a bath, double basins a separate toilet and a double shower. It also has an adjoining his & hers walk-in dressing room.

The other two bedrooms, with inter leading doors are both 7m x 5m big and are both en-suite with bath, shower, basin & separate toilet. They also have big walk-in dressing rooms or closets.

On the other side of the passage, and interleading doors, there are 3 more bedrooms, one room being en-suite and another separate bathroom, each with shower, bath, basin and toilet. The geysers here, all run on gas. A fully state of the art Easylife kitchen, dining area, and lounge all form part of the open-plan living area of this part. High sliding doors, open up to another big, open veranda, with views over the garden, pool and river. A generator can run this entire part of the house in case of loadshedding, by only a flick of a button.

A separate en-suite -, open plan apartment with a brand new kitchen and bathroom are only a few meters away from the second house, but has it’s own veranda. Enough space has been left for a build-in oven and fridge.
The property has 1 single and 4 double garages in total, which gives enough space for all the river toys, boats and jet skis. All the garage doors are fully automated. There is also a maintenance store, laundry room and a 22m x 10m vegetable tunnel, that has very successfully supplied the family, friends and workers with the best, freshest grown vegetables. Double staff quarters with build in cooking facilities and bathrooms, can be found at the entrance of the property. There is also a double horse stable with storage area, which in summer is being used to rear chickens. A very strong borehole supplies all of the buildings with fresh, very drinkable water. Municipal water can be connected at the entrance to the property.
The property runs on Eskom electricity, and is not dependent on municipal power.
A lot of animals can be kept, any types of fish species in the containers in the tunnel, and in the pond, closer to the pool as well as an 10m x 18m walk-in aviary for all species of birds. There is also a small animal farm with rabbits, geese and ducks.
