Set within the prestigious Borrowdale Brooke is a beautifully composed private family residence occupying almost an acre, with an outlook over two dams framed by mature indigenous planting and a graceful willow line. It is a home defined by privacy, space and tranquility, offering a rare sense of connection with its natural surroundings while remaining sophisticated enough for formal entertaining and executive family living.
The residence has been thoughtfully designed around a central axial entrance hall, creating a natural progression from the formal entrance through to the garden beyond. Solid oak flooring, softly paneled walls, coved and corniced ceilings and generous proportions establish an understated elegance throughout the principal reception areas.
The accommodation is exceptionally well considered, with four principal bedrooms, all en suite, allowing the home to comfortably accommodate a family and guests while maintaining privacy. The principal suite is arranged as a private wing, comprising a generous bedroom, dressing room and luxurious en suite, with marble finishes, brushed brass detailing, twin vanities and framed garden views.
Three further bedrooms form a quiet family and guest wing. Each bedroom benefits from its own private bathroom, fitted joinery and garden aspect, providing flexibility for children, guests or an extended household.
For entertaining and family life, the home offers two distinct lounges. The formal reception lounge provides an elegant setting for hosting, while the family lounge opens towards the garden, creating a more relaxed everyday living environment. Additional media, snug and open-plan living areas provide further flexibility for contemporary family life.
The kitchen arrangement is particularly practical. A principal chef's kitchen is complemented by a second scullery-style kitchen, allowing everyday family cooking and larger-scale entertaining or service functions to operate seamlessly. Both kitchens connect conveniently with the garden.
The rear of the residence is where the property truly distinguishes itself. A long covered verandah runs along the rear elevation, creating a series of outdoor living spaces rather than one conventional terrace. There is room for alfresco dining, relaxed lounge seating and leisurely walks towards the water, all framed by the property's mature landscaping and willow-lined outlook.
The grounds extend naturally from the house, with generous lawns for informal family use and a private walk leading towards the water. The positioning overlooking two dams gives the residence an unusual sense of scale and tranquillity within Borrowdale Brooke.
A significant advantage for Zimbabwean buyers is the property's independent water infrastructure. Two on-site boreholes provide a private water source, while an installed reverse-osmosis treatment plant provides treated borehole water for drinking and household use. This infrastructure has been designed to support continuity and self-reliance.
The property also incorporates dedicated staff accommodation in the form of a maid's room, together with a separate cottage room, extending the household accommodation without intruding on the main family wing.
Importantly, the property is currently presented without a swimming pool, preserving the openness of the landscaped acre while leaving the incoming owner with the opportunity to introduce a pool according to their own requirements and vision.
