Riverside Retreat - 2 Bedroom Lifestyle Opportunity
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this exceptional home immediately envelops you in a sense of peace and serenity, welcomed by the gentle sound of a water feature in the entrance courtyard. A rare gem and true countryside retreat, the property offers an inspiring blend of privacy, character, and charm, with sweeping views of the Klein River and surrounding mountains.
Designed for Effortless Entertaining
The open-plan living space is thoughtfully crafted for modern living and entertaining. It includes a fully equipped kitchen featuring premium finishes, a built-in wine fridge, and a striking workbench-style island. The adjoining dining and lounge areas—anchored by a fireplace—allow for seamless interaction between hosts and guests. French doors lead to the outdoor patio, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.
Artful terrazzo flooring and a statement fireplace beam add a touch of architectural brilliance, while a separate scullery ensures the kitchen remains immaculate during gatherings. An underfloor water-heating system keeps the space comfortable year-round. Sustainability is also top of mind, with a 6 KVA inverter and six solar panels enhancing energy efficiency.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
Step through three sets of French doors to an inviting outdoor entertainment area. Complete with a heated salt-chlorinated pool, heated pool cover, braai, and a top-tier pizza oven, it’s a perfect setting for family get-togethers or intimate evenings under the stars. From here, a short stroll through the garden leads to the river’s edge, where you can access your private floating jetty or join the scenic Wandelpad walking trail. The fully fenced property offers privacy and peace of mind — ideal for pets to roam freely.
Luxurious, Flexible Living
The ground floor guest bedroom features a stylish ensuite bathroom with electric underfloor heating—ideal for chilly winter nights. A separate study, craft room, or home office (also ensuite and with underfloor heating) opens directly onto the garden, offering flexibility for work or hobbies in a tranquil setting.
Upstairs, the expansive master suite is your private haven. A wood-burning fireplace warms the cosy sitting area, perfect for quiet reading or relaxed TV evenings. The luxurious ensuite bathroom features a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, dual vanities on a custom-designed terrazzo countertop, and a separate toilet. Step out onto the private balcony and enjoy breathtaking views of the river and mountains, morning coffee in hand or a nightcap beneath the stars.
The Stanford Lifestyle
Situated along the serene banks of the Klein River, this home offers direct access to water activities and birdwatching, all within moments of the charming village of Stanford. Enjoy weekend farmers' markets, award-winning wine and cheese estates, scenic walks, and vibrant community life.
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a lock-up-and-go retreat, this home provides a rare opportunity to invest in an exceptional lifestyle. Located just 16 km from Hermanus and 22 km from Gansbaai, you're a short drive from coastal adventures, schools, shops, and renowned attractions like whale watching and shark cage diving.
