Welcome to 6 & 7 Bowsprit — a bush lodge–inspired home seamlessly integrated into its indigenous forest surroundings.
Your arrival sets the tone: a sculptural waterfall flows from the entrance level beneath the stairs into a natural pond beside the front door, creating a calm and distinctive welcome.
A double garage and a fully self-contained apartment sit on the upper level, offering a private space with kitchenette, full bathroom and a Juliet balcony with views into the trees and toward the lagoon. The thoughtful layout ensures privacy between the main home, apartment and cottage — ideal for hosting guests, Airbnb or home exchange, with multiple independent spaces already successfully in use.
Descending to the main level, double-volume glass walls open directly to the forest. The open-plan living area connects a generous granite-topped kitchen and island to a dining space and lounge with a stone-clad Jetmaster fireplace. Kiaat hardwood, used for the floors, windows and staircases, brings warmth and character throughout.
Two sliding doors extend this level outdoors: one to a deck overlooking an indigenous herb garden, the other to an enclosed courtyard known as “The Cave,” currently serving as a utility area with water filtration and pump systems — easily reimagined as a wine cellar, games room or similar. An additional internal utility room, once a gym and later a microgreen space, includes extraction fans and a reverse osmosis system, offering flexibility for future use.
Upstairs, a cosy TV lounge opens to a large balcony with sweeping forest and lagoon views. The main bedroom suite is a treetop retreat with floor-to-ceiling glass, a stone-finished en-suite bathroom and its own secluded deck ideal for birdwatching. A second en-suite bedroom opens onto a view-filled deck, while a third bedroom features a handcrafted Kiaat spiral staircase, creating a versatile two-level space perfect for a studio or office with garage access.
The property spans 2 016 m² at the end of a wide cul-de-sac, bordered by only one neighbour and protected from future development — ensuring exceptional privacy. The surrounding forest creates a sheltered, tranquil microclimate.
A separate cottage, “The Pool House,” enhances the lifestyle offering. Glass stacking doors open onto the deck and newly upgraded pool terrace with spectacular lagoon views. The outdoor area includes two connected pools — a lap pool and a heated pool with spa jets, RGB lighting and a waterfall — framed by a natural sandstone rock wall. Inside, the cottage offers a compact kitchen, bathroom and an airy upstairs bedroom.
The home is further supported by quality infrastructure, including:
• 8 kW Sunsynk inverter with 20 kWh battery system
• 5-stage water filtration plant in The Cave
• Reverse Osmosis water system for household use
Walking trails wind through the surrounding forest, leading to quiet picnic spots and offering encounters with bushbuck, genets, birds and butterflies — a daily reminder of the home’s unique setting.
6 & 7 Bowsprit is a rare blend of nature, privacy and contemporary comfort — a serene forest retreat designed for peaceful, modern living.
