Property Details
A Storybook Escape in the Heart of Chartwell North
Tucked away in the prestigious boomed avenues of Chartwell North—just minutes from Fourways and Cedar Road, yet worlds apart in spirit—this breathtaking 2.1-hectare property is more than a home; it's a lifestyle. A sanctuary of timeless country elegance, rich character, and soul-soothing space, where porcupines, leguaans, and mongooses may be your most intriguing neighbours.
From the moment you arrive, winding beneath a canopy of Acacias along a dappled tree-lined driveway, the air fragrant with wild grasses and seasonal blooms, you’ll feel it: this is the kind of place that captures your heart.
The Home – Where Character and Charm Meet Comfort
Nestled among lush, established gardens and embraced by mature indigenous trees, the double-storey thatch residence is a rustic jewel that blends elegant living with whimsical charm. The ground-floor master suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with its own fireplace, garden-facing French doors, a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom filled with quirky touches. A private courtyard features a sauna that’s just waiting for revival.
A warm, inviting lounge with an open thatch ceiling, dormer window, and a cozy Bekker fireplace sets the tone for relaxed living. The heart of the home, a generous farmhouse kitchen with a central island, walk-in pantry and large scullery, is made for everything from leisurely brunches to hearty dinners. The formal dining room, easily accommodating a twelve-seater table, is both elegant and welcoming, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and bar—perfect for long, memorable evenings with friends and family.
Upstairs, a second lounge with a Juliet balcony overlooks the main living area, making it ideal as a reading nook, art space or private retreat. A second stairwell leads to two comfortable bedrooms and a shared bathroom, with a cozy pyjama lounge or study tucked under the eaves.
Hidden in the garden is a thatched cottage or artist’s retreat—secluded, tranquil and full of creative possibility.
The Garden – A Living Masterpiece
The garden unfolds like a painting, a blend of manicured charm and natural wildness. A magnificent Acacia tree anchors the front lawn, while water features, including a lily-covered fishpond and a second tranquil pond, add to the sense of serenity. A mix of formal landscaping and indigenous growth creates texture and depth, inviting both quiet reflection and barefoot play.
There’s a fully enclosed vegetable garden for home-grown produce, sweeping lawns that invite garden parties or lazy afternoons, and a spacious paddock with shady grazing—ideal for a pony, pets, or even that cow you’ve always joked about owning.
The Extras – Thoughtful, Practical, and Full of Possibility
Alongside the four lock-up garages is a workshop, storeroom, and even a mechanic’s pit—a true man cave or easily convertible to a stable block or barn. There’s staff accommodation for two, and the property is serviced by three boreholes: one currently in use, one for staff, and one with future potential.
A generator and inverter system ensure essentials continue during outages, and security is top-notch thanks to electric fencing, a boomed road, and a vigilant, tight-knit community.
The Lifestyle – Urban Access, Rural Freedom
Chartwell North is more than just a suburb—it’s a rare blend of countryside freedom and city convenience. Life here means space to breathe, starry skies, and neighbourly connections. All while being minutes from the conveniences of Broadacres, Steyn City, Fourways, Lanseria Airport, top private schools like HeronBridge and Steyn City School, and world-class medical and retail amenities.
This Isn’t Just a House—it’s a Home for the Soul.
Whether you’re dreaming of raising a family close to nature, scaling back in quiet elegance, or simply finding a home that feels like a heartfelt retreat, this property offers it all. It’s not just bricks and mortar—it’s a story waiting to be lived.
