Lovely five bedroom home on the banks of the largest dam in the Western Cape – the magnificent Theewaterskloof Dam!
Set in a low density 21 hectare estate, it’s an idyllic spot for the water-sport fanatics among us, or for those who simply long for a peaceful country retreat within the enchanting realm of Villiersdorp – “the Pearl of the Overberg” – only 120km from Cape Town!
Offering everything water sport enthusiasts can dream of, glorious views of this vast expanse of water against a backdrop of the magnificent Franschhoek mountains, peace and tranquility, plus, plus, plus!
A superb holiday home for multiple owners, making it a very affordable ‘get-together-country-retreat’ - far enough from the rat-race to rejuvenate even the weariest of weary - in beautiful surrounds - which include the easy and gloriously scenic trip to and from!
