Western Cape, Cape Town, Durbanville, South Africa

Few newly built homes in Durbanville offer this combination: architect-designed finishes, a full solar installation, and a layout genuinely built around how families live. This corner-stand residence in Graanendal delivers all three — without the wait of an off-plan purchase.

The living spaces are generous and connected. A generous lounge with exposed trusses and wooden floors, and a fireplace anchors the ground floor, opening through bypass sliding doors to the braai room and pool terrace. The braai room is designed to complement the patio — bypass sliding doors fold back to merge indoors and outdoors entirely. It works just as well for a quiet Sunday afternoon as it does for a family function.

The kitchen is fitted for serious cooking: engineered stone countertops, soft-close cabinetry, a 900mm SMEG gas stove, Bosch eye-level oven, integrated fridge, freezer and microwave, plus a walk-in pantry and scullery to keep the main space clear.

All four bedrooms are en-suite with built-in cupboards. Two have private balconies; a third opens onto Juliet doors. The main suite sets the tone — walk-in dressing room, balcony with farmland views, and a bathroom with freestanding bath, double vanity, walk-in shower and heated towel rail. A second suite has its own freestanding bath; all four bathrooms are finished to the same standard. Upstairs, a pyjama or TV lounge works equally well as a home office.

Practical details are equally well considered: a 50 m² tiled double garage with direct home access, a storeroom, a guest cloakroom, garden toilet and basin, computerised irrigation, and a salt-chlorinated fibreglass pool. Energy independence comes standard — 15 solar panels, a 10 kW Victron inverter, 10 kW battery backup and two 150-litre geysers. Fibre-ready. Please note: Rates are estimated and subject to change.

Graanendal is a 24-hour manned lifestyle estate with walking trails and green spaces, minutes from top schools, the STADIO Durbanville campus, major shopping centres and the Durbanville wine route.
