A Rare Lakeside Setting | French-Inspired Elegance

EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE.

Some homes are defined by their architecture, others by their setting. This remarkable French-inspired residence in Val de Vie Estate offers the rare privilege of both, combining timeless character, impeccable presentation and an extraordinary lakeside position.
Approached through a beautifully established garden, a gentle rise in the landscape builds anticipation before revealing the lake, framed by magnificent mountain views. The setting is exceptionally private, with just one neighbouring property and mature, tree-lined green spaces bordering the western, northern and eastern sides. A private jetty provides a peaceful vantage point for early-morning stillness or evenings when the mountains take on a soft pink glow.

The home makes a memorable first impression, with striking black wrought-iron entrance gates, barn-style double garage doors and an inviting architectural character that carries throughout. Inside, high ceilings, abundant natural light, a considered mix of tiled and timber flooring, and carefully selected wallpaper accents create an interior that feels both distinctive and welcoming.

A separate patio lounge and dining area flow effortlessly towards the manicured garden, swimming pool and mountain backdrop through frameless stacking doors. A fireplace/built-in braai enhance the space, making it equally suited to relaxed family living and entertaining against the beautiful natural setting.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a delight, featuring a generous timber island, crisp white countertops and contrasting dark cabinetry. The adjoining open-plan living area combines a dining space and TV lounge, where timber floors, softly painted walls, exposed brickwork and a fireplace lend warmth and character to the interiors. A guest cloakroom and third bedroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, a comfortable leisure lounge introduces the private bedroom accommodation. The luxurious main suite is a haven of its own, with a spacious bathroom and dressing room, gas fireplace, and captivating views across the lake. A second bedroom and full bathroom are complemented by a study opening onto a generous balcony, an inviting spot to pause and take in the tranquil surroundings.

This is a home for the discerning buyer who values individuality over convention. Its distinctive French-inspired style, beautifully established gardens, and rare lakeside position come together to offer a lifestyle of understated luxury, where mountain vistas, peaceful waters and exceptional privacy are part of everyday living.
