Sublime River Living

Exclusive Mandate:

The Kromme River Estate is the discerning choice for buyers who value unspoilt natural vistas with the serenity of river living, while still being close enough to the buzz of St Francis Bay.

This home is one of a few that has an exclusive use mooring at the residents only slipway and jetty within the estate. Cleverly laid out into two distinct wings - there are 3 generous bedrooms on the north wing and multi-use living and entertaining areas with river views on the south wing. A sundrenched courtyard and pool lies between the two wings. Immaculately maintained with versatile spaces, the design maximises the north aspect and optimises the river views. A robust solar energy system powers the home and generates an excess supply that is fed back to the grid for a credit balance when usage is lower than supply. Tiled roof, enclosed garden, double automated garage, pool, outdoor shower, renovated kitchen – all in an access controlled estate with low monthly levies.

Enter the home through the garage or the pedestrian entrance into a sunny reception area. To the left is the bedroom wing. The first two bedrooms have sliding door access to the front lawned garden; and being north facing rooms, are glorious sun traps. They share a full bathroom.
The main bedroom and open-plan bathroom has a bath and large walk-in shower and a separate enclosed loo. A built-in ceramic fireplace warms the room in winter and the shuttered sliding doors open onto the pool area and allow airflow on warm summer nights. All the bedrooms have ample built-in cupboards and there is a generous linen cupboard built into the passage.

The open plan living area with double sided fireplace has a covered patio with great river views to the south and shares the sunny pool area with the bedroom wing. The river facing patio overlooks a designated greenbelt that forms part of the estate and cannot be developed. Back inside, there is a separate braai room which can be closed off from the living room or opened up to the pool area on the one side and the river facing patio and garden area on the other side. Above the braai room is an additional room that can be used as a home-office, TV room or even a 4th bedroom. This room has balcony access with glorious views over the adjacent farmland and the river. The recently renovated kitchen blends seamlessly with the double volume living area. A back door leads to the service yard and an outdoor shower. Above the kitchen is a mezzanine level with another large multifunctional room that overlooks the open plan area below. There is a guest loo and additional lounge area just off the wide passageway that leads from the front door into this lovely home. This lounge area could be converted into a trendy bar space overlooking the pool.

Perfect for permanent or holiday living, young families or older couples wanting a mix of river and farm style living with the sea on your doorstep, will love this home and all it offers. School going children can walk to St Francis College which is adjacent to the estate. Recently painted and exceptionally well maintained there is nothing to be done but unpack your suitcases and enjoy the sublime lifestyle so many dream of.
