A beautiful home, designed with consideration and care, to bring you high quality finishes and sustainable energy solutions. Overlooking the greenbelt and in close proximity to the school, this home will not disappoint the discerning buyer.

The entrance gate takes you through a lush garden with koi pond and waterfall, with wooden walkways and paths. Solid oak double doors open into a double volume entrance with exposed rafters and bespoke light fittings leading you into an open plan living area, warm and inviting. French style Oak floors throughout most of the house, coupled with a hand-cut natural stone feature wall in the lounge, ensure muted acoustics. A playroom or second lounge with an integrated wall unit opens to the garden, while the main lounge opens via stacking doors to a vast covered patio, with a built-in bar with yellow wood top and granite counters. The gas braai is set in an enclave, with more of the hand-cut stone surrounding it. With west-facing views across the garden to the dams and grassland beyond, and north-facing pool and garden views, the patio features storm blinds and a pitched roof with exposed rafters, making it ideal for any weather.

The dining room opens on two sides to the pool and garden, and has a Morso closed combustion wood fireplace, as well as air conditioning to keep the temperature comfortable. The kitchen has built-in Miele appliances - steamer combination and large oven - with a gas hob in the central island and ceiling mounted extractor fan. Caesarstone counters and combination wood and white cupboards give a sleek look, and a reverse osmosis water purifying system provides delicious drinking water. The separate scullery is spacious, with a walk-in pantry and doors to the triple garages and yard.

A guest suite to the left of the front entrance is quiet and private, with its own entrance - this could also be used as a work from home office if required.

Up the floating Oak-tread staircase, two mirror image bedrooms share a full bathroom, with doors opening to balconies that overlook the koi pond and garden. A walk-in linen room, with cedar wood shelving, is a luxury, next door to the study, with fitted corner desk and a wall of book shelving. The master suite, with exposed rafters, has gorgeous views of the greenbelt and dams, and a sophisticated dressing room that integrates with the luxurious marble-tiled bathroom and private outdoor shower. An integrated air conditioning system controls the upstairs climate.

The garden is well established and lush, fed by a borehole and a 20 000L subterranean rainwater-conservation tank, found beneath the trampoline. Two additional 800l JoJo tanks harvest rainwater and provide a useful back-up to municipal supply. A prolific vegetable garden flanks a water feature. The solar-heated pool has an automated cover and features a wooden decking surround. A sizeable studio staff apartment, located above the garage comes complete with a kitchenette, an en-suite bathroom, private balcony and its own parking space.

A closed-circuit solar-heated Sonnenkraft boiler (with gas backup) provides hot water for the entire house through a manifold reticulation system. The 10kVA photovoltaic system provides enough energy for most of the house during the day, with battery storage for the evenings. Double glazing, insulated cavity walls, underfloor insulation, a number of store rooms, workman ablutions, American shutters - more extras can be mentioned. A stylish, sumptuous home for a family that enjoys the finer things in life!
