Exclusive 3ha Vaal River Waterfront Smallholding – Entertainer’s Paradise!

Nestled on a prime 3.1405-hectare plot just 10 minutes from Vanderbijlpark CBD, this exceptional riverside homestead offers unparalleled tranquility and luxury. One of the few properties directly bordering the Vaal River on the Gauteng side, with no buildings opposite, ensuring serene, uninterrupted river views and peaceful surroundings.

A long, paved driveway winds through manicured rolling lawns and neat animal enclosures, leading from the automated sliding gate straight to the waterside.

The expansive 1,220 m² home features an impressive open-plan design with seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, lounge, bar, and entertainment spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors frame breathtaking views of the lush gardens, sparkling 7m x 14m swimming pool, boathouse, and the Vaal River beyond.

A generous wrap-around veranda invites you to soak up sunny days and spectacular sunsets while overlooking the pool and river.

The state-of-the-art Easylife kitchen showcases granite countertops, a large central island with breakfast nook, electric/gas oven and stove, stainless steel extractor hood, and a built-in butler’s sink.

A caterer’s dream pantry offers extensive shelving, with a separate second pantry that can house fridges and freezers. The bar area features a 5-door undercounter glass-front fridge, matching granite counters, and cupboards, plus a convenient full bathroom (toilet, basin, shower).

A separate formal dining room and kids’ games room provide additional flexible spaces.
