Sought-after Forest Glade

All offers will be considered.

Situated in Forest Glade, an attractive thirty hectare security estate in the foothills of the Constantiaberg Mountains in Tokai, this home offers a rare opportunity to move into this exceptional community. There are five hamlets in the estate making up one hundred and three mainly semi-detached homes, all of which are cleverly positioned to create a feeling of seclusion and privacy in each.

With a river running through the estate, a bird sanctuary surrounded by willow trees and a play area for kids, Forest Glade is truly a hidden gem. Tables and benches are thoughtfully placed under shady indigenous trees and residents enjoy evening strolls with their dogs in the pet friendly estate.

This free-standing 154m² family home, well situated away from traffic sound, is designed to maximise the available space. It has an open plan, modern, compact kitchen/diner, plumbed for a dish washer and a spacious sitting area with sliding glass doors. These can be stacked opened to create an indoor/outdoor flow to the north facing veranda; an inviting area for relaxed outdoor get-togethers. The private fenced garden has a raised sleeper bed beautifully finished with pebbles and astra turf. The irrigation making it easy to maintain.

Upstairs there are two bathrooms and three generous bedrooms, two with magnificent views of Silvermine Mountain and a third that overlooks the garden, also with mountain and forest views. The third bedroom could, if preferred, be used as an upstairs sitting area/office and there is an abundance of wardrobe space. In the design, and with very little cost, the largest bedroom can easily be divided which would then make a 4th bedroom if needed.

All doors and burgular barred windows throughout the house are fitted with security shutters which allow one to sleep peacefully with the windows open. The large laundry, fitted for a washing machine and a tumble-dryer, is also equipped with plenty of linen and general storage cupboards. There is also a downstairs cloak room with a shower.

Under-floor heating in certain areas keeps the house cosy throughout winter and a private well point insures your garden should never be short of water. The house has a separate, single garage and there are ample parking bays for friends and family.

In addition to a well-run Home Owners Association, there is a wonderful community spirit in the estate. With a helping hand never far away, it is an ideal spot for any age group whether it is to retire or bring up a family.

Access to the estate is managed by two remote control gates from Tokai Road.

Also on your doorstep, are the delights this valley has to offer. Among these are Tokai Forest for hiking or mountain-biking, the Constantia greenbelts and an array of old Cape wine farms, Constantia Uitsig, Buitenverwachting, Groot Constantia and Klein Constantia. Steenberg Golf Course and Steenberg Shopping Centre are close by and a gym within a five minute drive. There are also numerous top schools in the area.
The property is tenanted until end of September 2024.
