his fully furnished family home overlooks a garden, infinity pool, river, and large trees.

The views and scenery make it look as though it’s out in the country.

It is only 15 minutes from the Sandton CBD, and 5 minutes from the N1 highway.

The sound of the river flowing blocks out all city sounds. It’s quite remarkable.

Some of the flooring in the home is solid wood, some of it, sandstone tiles, and the bedrooms are carpeted.

This home is fully furnished and equipped. It has an enormous, beautiful marine fish tank in the entrance (maintained free of charge), 4 bedrooms, a study which can be converted into a 5th bedroom, 4 bathrooms, 2 lounges, and a playroom.

There is a fireplace in the TV lounge, which is wood-burning. When used in winter, it warms a large part of the house.

The bathrooms all have heaters.

The home is light, and spacious, and wonderful for entertaining.

It is at the bottom of a gated road, where only residents have access. The property is walled, has an electric fence, motion sensors, and a full alarm system, with armed response.

Second Ave has an electric gate across the road, so that only residents have access.

This makes the road very secure, and the gate is maintained by the homeowners.

We only live about 4-5 minutes away from this home, and can be there asap if there are any problems, or maintenance issues that need attention.

The gates at the entrance to the property are electric, as are the garage doors.

One can walk through the front door, straight through the house, and be at the infinity pool overlooking the garden.

One can then walk along the lawn which slopes down to the river, and this is a lovely spot for a picnic.

There is a gate at the bottom of the garden, which leads to a walk along the Sand Spruit River.

The gardens around the river have the appearance of a well-maintained park, which are serviced and maintained, making it a beautiful place to explore.

Only residents who live along the river have access.

There are always adults and children going for walks, cycles and picnics along the river. There are jungle gyms and trampolines along the way for the little ones.

It is safe, beautiful, and well maintained.

The gardener comes to the River House once a week, does the gardening, and cleans the pool too. (He has been working for us for 20 years),

And our helper is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, if required. She has worked for us for 17 years, and charges R395 per day. She is a miracle worker – the house and windows will be spotless, as will your clothes, and she waters all indoor plants.

To combat loadshedding, the house has solar panels, an inverter, and battery – meaning that loadshedding will likely go unnoticed.

This is a true home, and has everything you need.
