JOINT MANDATE

Do you dream of an exceptional home in a top-rated, highly coveted estate? This is your golden opportunity.

Through the 24-hour manned security gate, you enter Brackenridge—a nature estate of honourable distinction, awarded Reader’s Choice Best Estate 2025 in Plett and Knysna. The road winds upward, elevating you above town, past elegant homes with manicured gardens where proteas bloom in technicolour, until you arrive at this spectacular contemporary home. You park in the double garage before stepping through the grand glass front door into the foyer, where a window across the way foreshadows the views to come.

This entire level enjoys tinted double-glazed windows and hosts a sunny study with a built-in desk, internal access to the garage, and three en-suite bedrooms with quartz carpet shower flooring, two of which are graced by charming balconies and window nooks for reading with a view.

A floating staircase with glass balustrades descends from the foyer into the open-plan living space, where a spacious lounge and dining room share the flickering warmth of a central wood-burning fireplace beneath a subtly gabled timber roof with exposed trusses and ambient lighting. Before you, remote-controlled blinds rise to unveil an entire wall of stacking glass doors that invite the view inside and can open completely to the outdoors. With dedicated zones for lounging and dining, the Garapa-wood alfresco deck features a shimmering pool and sunken boma-style seating. Beyond the grassy lawn, a discreet Clear View fence permits a gorgeous, unhindered outlook across the emerald valley below, dotted with golfing greens, while the home’s prized and rare northern aspect blesses it with warm sunshine throughout the day and shelter from prevailing winds, keeping interiors naturally warm in winter and cool in summer. Evenings here unfold in spectacle: sunset’s light the horizon ablaze with colour before giving way to starry skies.

Back inside, the dining area links seamlessly with the state-of-the-art kitchen, styled with Caesarstone countertops and a central island. It boasts a Siemens multi-function oven, induction hob, and convection microwave, wine racks, soft-close drawers, and a walk-in pantry, while a discreet scullery and laundry tucked behind keep the space uncluttered.

A passage with a built-in wine display runs along the staircase, guiding you past a guest cloakroom to the spacious master bedroom wrapped by windows for natural light and views. It features built-in storage, blackout curtains, and an en-suite bathroom of pure luxury with double vanities, a rain shower with quartz carpet flooring, a lavish two-person soaking tub, and an enclosed toilet. The room offers two private exits: one leading to the alfresco deck, the other to a secluded courtyard with a water feature—perfect for when you’re seeking personal tranquillity.

A courtyard positioned off the scullery loops around to an exterior loo and a services duct where the home’s impressive infrastructure is neatly housed. Here you’ll find the Victron Quattro Inverter and battery system that powers this fully solar-equipped home, dual 200-litre solar geysers, air-conditioning condensers, smart-home connection with Wi-Fi extended throughout, and a central security link tied to cameras surrounding the property. With smart electricity and water meters, usage can be monitored directly from a phone app, and a separate lockable refuse courtyard detached from the main house offers non-intrusive convenience.

These features align seamlessly with Brackenridge’s own forward-thinking infrastructure, with world-renowned security, a 300,000-litre reservoir supplemented by two boreholes ensuring reliable water supply, and a unique homeowners’ grid that buys back excess solar power from residents—rewarding sustainability with tangible returns. This new build also carries a five-year guarantee with two years remaining, underscoring both quality and confidence in its construction.
