About this property

Perched high in the rolling hills of Oakdene, this remarkable estate feels like your own private retreat above the city. Set on an enormous 3,750sqm stand with sweeping panoramic views across Bassonia and the surrounding landscape, this is the kind of property that instantly makes you slow down, breathe a little deeper, and imagine all the possibilities. With space, versatility, and charm wrapped into one impressive address, this estate offers the perfect blend of peaceful suburban living and exciting income potential. Whether you’re dreaming of a large family haven, multi-generational living, or an investment opportunity with room to grow, this property delivers it all with ease. The main residence is beautifully designed for comfortable everyday living while still feeling grand enough for entertaining on a larger scale. Four spacious bedrooms and three-and-a-half modern bathrooms provide plenty of room for family life, while the chef-style kitchen is ready for everything from quick weekday meals to full-on dinner parties. The formal lounge and cosy TV room create inviting spaces to unwind, and there’s even a flexible room perfect for a home office, studio, or creative workspace. One of the true highlights of the home is the incredible entertainment area, where weekends practically plan themselves. The expansive games and entertainment room features a built-in bar, a snooker area, and a large balcony where the scenic views steal the show. It’s easy to picture sunset gatherings, family celebrations, and lazy afternoons soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Adding even more value to the property is a fully separate two-bedroom flatlet that offers privacy, comfort, and excellent rental income potential. Both bedrooms are ensuite, and the independent living space opens onto its own balcony overlooking the natural landscape. Currently generating around R10,000 per month, it’s an ideal setup for tenants, guests, or extended family. The estate also includes two separate staff accommodation units, each with its own bathroom, offering additional flexibility for guest accommodation or further rental opportunities. Together, they currently generate approximately R5,000 per month, adding yet another layer of practicality to this already impressive property. Parking and accessibility have been thoughtfully catered for, with a double garage, covered carports, extensive additional parking, and two automated access gates ensuring convenience for both residents and visitors. What truly sets this property apart, though, is the sheer scale of the land. Large stands like this are becoming increasingly rare in Johannesburg South, and the possibilities here are endless. There’s ample room for expanded family living, additional rental units, or even future development opportunities, subject to approvals. Despite being conveniently close to major routes, shopping centres, excellent schools, and the Johannesburg CBD, the estate feels worlds away from the rush of city life. Surrounded by birdlife, greenery, and breathtaking elevated views, this is more than just a property — it’s a sanctuary with endless potential and a lifestyle that’s hard to find.
