SOLE MANDATE: This extraordinary canal side residence delivers a rare combination of space, versatile accommodation and exceptional entertaining areas, all set within one of St Francis Bay’s most coveted waterfront locations. Designed for expansive family living, multi-generational households or premium hosting, the home offers privacy, flexibility and breathtaking canal views.
Rather than a single dwelling, the property unfolds as a multi-component residence designed for flexible living, uniting a substantial main home with five en-suite outside rooms and a fully self-contained, double-volume one-bedroom flatlet.
Three gated entrances provide separate access for vehicles and boats, while the driveway accommodates four garages. A double door entry creates a powerful sense of arrival providing an entry sequence through a covered walkway with skylights into a paved pool courtyard area. This internal courtyard cleverly separates the individual bedrooms from the main residence and encompasses a heated pool and a pizza oven. The one-bedroom flatlet, positioned at the end of the residence, enjoys its own driveway access as well as access to the pool courtyard and is entirely wheelchair-friendly.
Entry into the main homestead is into a double volume light filled space holding a dining room that seamlessly integrates with a standout kitchen, as well as a lounge (with a wood fireplace) adjoining a large built in entertaining bar. All these areas enjoy framed picturesque canal outlooks through expansive glass facades and the free-flowing layout has been well thought out for modern living, embracing a spacious floorplan that connects easily to the outdoors for a great entertainer’s lifestyle.
The large gourmet kitchen boasts a generously sized central island which can function as a preparation and serving counter as well as a family breakfast counter. There is also a large cooking hearth and a separate scullery area intelligently positioned out of the direct sightline. Both the kitchen and dining room spaces are positioned as the social heart of the home, ideal for extended family gatherings or hosting guests.
The built-in bar area has ample seating at the bar counter, has a built-in braai area as well as a countertop working space and a sink and can access the canal facing level garden.
A stylish conservatory-style entertainment room sits within the garden, enclosed by three glass walls that can be opened or closed independently to suit the weather. This entertainment room has an open hearth cooking area and full-width canal-facing doors allow the space to connect seamlessly onto an elevated deck with panoramic water views in both directions. Outdoor living is a defining feature and included in these outdoor spaces is the large boat deck and a private beach area adjoining the canals giving easy access onto the water. A boat garage is also positioned by the canal area.
An outdoor garden facing patio area adjoining the kitchen and the lounge provides easy access to an modern outdoor shower and toilet – providing practicality after boat/beach excursions.
The master suite occupies the entire upper level of the home, offering complete privacy and a true sense of retreat. A walk-through cupboard area provides access into the vaulted-ceiling bedroom oriented to maximise canal views, and enjoying direct access to a sunny private balcony that offers stunning views over the tranquil canal water as well as out to sea. The luxe en-suite bathroom features double basins, a freestanding bath, a large shower and an additional spacious dressing room. Also on this level, integrated with the master suite, is a private lounge opening to the outdoor balcony, a craft or hobby room, and a study area, warmed by the fireplace flue, positioned on a mezzanine section of the double volume space overlooking the dining room and living area through transparent glass balustrading.
From the pool courtyard area, stairs lead to four additional en-suite bedrooms, linked by an elevated balcony and offering flexible configurations for guests or family members. A fifth en-suite bedroom is located within the covered trailer garage and is well suited to staff accommodation. Together with the self-contained flatlet, these spaces provide exceptional versatility — all without compromise to the main residence- and are ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, private hosting or rental income opportunities.
This six bedroom, 7 bathroom property also encompasses a host of prestige details that include:
Three separate gate entrances for vehicles and boats
Large storage area for boat or jet skis
A workshop
Extra height garage doors
Service yard with toilet and basin
