Some homes are memorable. This one has its own observatory dome.

Set in Harties with permanent dam views, this distinctive 589 m² residence sits on a 940 m² property in DaNice Estate. With generous accommodation, a private flatlet/cottage, excellent entertaining spaces and thoughtful backup systems, it offers room to live, host and work in comfort.

The main house has four bedrooms, all en-suite, with a guest toilet. A separate, private two-bedroom flatlet/cottage has a full bathroom and an open-plan lounge and kitchenette and guest toilet, making it well suited to extended family, guests, a home office or rental use. The downstairs guest bedroom in the main house also has its own bathroom, kitchenette and separate entrance.

Gather around the fireplace in the living room or make the most of the dedicated entertainment area, complete with both a gas braai and a wood or charcoal braai. Outside, enjoy the swimming pool with heat pump and the outlook across the dam.

Practical features make everyday living easier: a private borehole, 5,000-litre water tank, grid-tied solar system with inverter and battery backup, and two geysers with inverter heat-pump technology. Three inverter air conditioners and ceiling fans in many rooms add to the comfort.

Parking is generous, with a double garage extended for storage, a two-car shade port and space for three more vehicles in the main driveway. A separate gate leads to a second two-car shade port.

Security includes an electric fence, camera system, burglar bars and trellis doors. The estate has low monthly levies of R450.

And above it all, the rooftop observatory dome gives this home a feature you are unlikely to find elsewhere in Harties. Telescope excluded.
