SOLE MANDATE - VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT
There are, broadly speaking, two kinds of people who buy property in Greyton.
The first are drawn to the romance of an old thatched cottage. They fall in love with the charm, the history, the crooked walls and the stories. Then they spend the next few years — and often a small fortune — repairing, restoring, replacing and renovating.
The second group is looking for something different.
They want the beauty of Greyton without the endless project lists. They want to arrive, unpack, pour a glass of wine and simply begin living.
This home was designed for them.
Positioned on the corner of Von Solms and DS Botha, right on the edge of the village where Greyton gently gives way to open space and mountain views, this is a property where absolutely nothing has been left to chance.
Set on an extraordinary 2,000sqm almost corner plot, with expansive Mountain Views and direct access to hiking trails and the Vlei and Von Solms commonage, it’s a pet owners dream. The garden feels less like a garden and more like a private piece of countryside. A little stream lined with waterblommetjies meanders through the property.
The house itself is magnificently elegant and practical- from the moment you open the front door, you can tell it’s an exceptional build.
Beautiful reinforced bamboo flooring runs throughout the living spaces downstairs, adding warmth and character, while every room has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the surrounding landscape. The upstairs room have wooden floors. Every one of the 5 bedrooms (one with a separate entrance, currently used as a large home office) have doors leading out either onto the garden downstairs or the deck upstairs.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen. Finished with rich rosewood countertops, it is a space designed for real life- for family meals, long conversations, impromptu gatherings and slow Sunday mornings. Every aspect designed for practicality- a walk in pantry, dedicated full laundry with direct access to the courtyard and a wine cellar.
The generous living areas flow effortlessly onto a substantial covered patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and offering the perfect vantage point from which to watch the seasons change across the mountains.
The main suite deserves special mention. Spacious, private and beautifully proportioned, it enjoys uninterrupted views of the Riviersonderend Mountains. Beautiful wooden floors, a walk in closet space, huge en suite- it’s practically an apartment! The views directly from your bed that will remind you every morning exactly why we all chose Greyton. Leading off to the left is a guest loo and large office with private access to outside that can also be used as an Air bnb space.
I have actually crunched my own nrs to see if I could buy this house and that should tell you everything!
