5 Bedroom House for sale in Orkney

Dream Home on the Banks of the Vaal River – R1,595,000 Some homes are built. Others are placed exactly where they belong. This one sits proudly on the banks of the Vaal River, where mornings arrive with mist on the water and evenings fade into gold. Quite simply—life doesn’t get better than this. A beautifully manicured front garden welcomes you on arrival. Step inside to an inviting entrance hall that flows into an informal lounge and entertainment area with a built-in braai—because riverside living deserves proper gatherings. The cosy formal lounge leads into a dining room and a well-equipped kitchen with a separate wash-up area, an electric under-counter oven, and a generous gas stove for those who still believe cooking is an art. From the back door, a private walled courtyard opens into a lush, established garden—peaceful, green, and perfectly maintained. Downstairs offers three spacious bedrooms, all fitted with built-in cupboards. One bedroom is en-suite, while an additional bathroom and a separate guest toilet comfortably service the remaining rooms. Upstairs, the master suite is a true retreat: generously sized, en-suite, with ample built-in wardrobes. A private balcony delivers uninterrupted, postcard-worthy views of the Vaal River—every single day. To the left of the home is a double garage with classic wooden doors. The garden is fully irrigated and immaculately maintained throughout the year. The property also includes a granny flat with its own private entrance—ideal for guests, extended family, or additional income potential. A major highlight is the designated private jetty with an entertainment area, included with the property—exclusive access to the river, just as it should be. The home is very secure, featuring 24/7 access control via a cellular-controlled entrance, offering peace of mind to match the lifestyle. Furniture and curtains are available at an additional cost of R180,000 and are not sold separately. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy lifestyle on the river.
