Property Description
Spanning over 2.12 hectares of waterfront land on the shores of the Vaal Dam, this property offers a blend of country tranquillity, generous living spaces and weekend entertaining, suited to a peaceful retirement estate, a multi-family retreat or a weekend escape roughly an hour’s drive from Johannesburg. The spacious main house features five generous bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering ample space for large families or hosting guests, alongside a charming A-frame cottage which is a completely self-contained secondary dwelling, ideal for extended family, weekend visitors or potential rental income. Entertaining is centred on a large entertainment area built for hosting on a grand scale, with dedicated guest restrooms so main-house privacy is never compromised, a swimming pool powered by an efficient solar pump system, and direct waterfront access onto the water’s edge for boating, fishing, watersports or simply taking in sunrise views over the dam. Smallholding and hobby farm infrastructure includes ready-to-use cow and horse pens, dedicated chicken coops and bird aviaries, and a double garage paired with a spacious workspace area suited to boats, water toys, farm equipment or DIY projects. The property has fully independent water infrastructure, relying on the municipality only for electricity, which the seller describes as keeping monthly rates and utilities significantly low. Best suited to weekend lifestyle seekers, boat enthusiasts, retirement or multi-generational family living.

Area Description
The property lies on the Vaal Dam shoreline in southern Gauteng, in the farm registration division I.R. The Vaal Dam is the principal inland watersports and weekend destination for Johannesburg and Pretoria, ringed by smallholdings, holiday townships and boating clubs, and the Gauteng shoreline is served by the Vaal Marina holiday township, which carries the nearest convenience shopping, hardware and fuel. Deneysville lies across on the Free State side of the dam, with Meyerton, Vereeniging and Heidelberg the nearest substantial towns, each roughly forty to forty-five kilometres away, and the Johannesburg city centre approximately seventy-seven kilometres north as the crow flies, consistent with the seller’s description of an hour’s drive. The setting is rural and low-density, with agricultural land and smallholdings between the settlements, and the attraction of the location is the water itself: boating, fishing, watersports and shoreline frontage.
