Set next to a lake in La Vue Neighbourhood on Val de Vie Estate, this contemporary home offers generous proportions, modern finishes, and abundant natural light, with captivating views across the water towards the Simonsberg and Franschhoek mountains.

The ground floor is designed around relaxed family living and entertaining. A spacious living room with a combustion fireplace opens through large stacking doors to the patio and pool area, drawing the lake and mountain views into the home. The braai area is ideal for year-round entertaining, complete with a built-in braai, pizza oven and built-in bar, while a braai boma alongside the pool creates an additional outdoor setting for relaxed evenings.

The kitchen is practical and the home's social centre, with a breakfast bar, a nine-burner gas hob, ample cabinetry, a pantry, a scullery and separate laundry. The adjoining dining area is generously proportioned and includes dedicated wine storage. Oggie flooring runs throughout, adding warmth and continuity to the modern interior. A spacious ground-floor guest bedroom offers excellent privacy, with a separate dressing area and full en-suite bathroom with a bath and underfloor heating.

Upstairs, the landing foyer creates a versatile additional living space, ideal as a study nook or pyjama lounge and opens onto a balcony. Two bedrooms each feature en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and built-in televisions. The main bedroom is a true retreat, with a spacious bedroom, air-conditioning, a built-in television, balcony access and beautiful views over the lake. A considered dressing room leads to a generous en-suite bathroom with double basins, a large shower, bath and underfloor heating.

An additional loft area adds flexibility and can be used as a fifth bedroom, home office, lounge, gym or hobby room, depending on the family's needs.

Set on a 750m² stand with approximately 496m² under roof, the home also offers three garages, comprising a double garage and separate single garage, together with generous storage. Energy efficiency and backup power are well considered, with two 8Kw inverters, battery backup and solar. The combination of lake frontage, extensive entertaining spaces, flexible accommodation and uninterrupted mountain views creates a particularly special offering within La Vue Neighbourhood.
