4 Bedroom House For Sale in Parel Vallei
Exclusive listing by Chas Everitt LUXURY -Team Pieter Kotze
At the foot of Helderberg Mountain you will find this exclusive executive residence on a 10000 sqm erf. A smallholding/ farm in the heart of Somerset West and a very unique find with a spectacular garden.
Automated security gates open onto a tree-lined brick driveway, with guest parking to an open-front three-car garage with electric rear roller shutters framing the olive orchard views. A service road provides private access to the guest cottage and staff lodgings.
The stone-floored foyer with high ceilings introduces a fluid west-to-east floor plan designed to capture winter sun while shielding outdoor areas from south-easterly summer winds.
Receptions include a poolside braai lounge, a formal lounge with a dark charcoal fireplace, up a half-level into a dark-wood-floored dining room seating ten or more, and into the eastern kitchen and family TV lounge. Multi-pane glass doors link indoors to out. A travertine guest cloakroom serves central areas, while a service door connects dining to scullery and kitchen.
The study is to the north of the entrance and will suit the executive that does remote work: a principal teal library with custom bookshelves across 1.5 walls, workstation, filing room, plantation shutters, and French doors to a water-feature courtyard plus a second study with aircon.
The kitchen showcases soft-blue shaker cabinetry, grey Caesarstone countertops, dark herringbone parquet floors, an integrated wood-burning hearth stove, SMEG gas range, double wall ovens (steam and microwave-convection), a butler's pantry, dedicated scullery and separate laundry room. The kitchen wraps into a family TV room opening to a patio and path to a wood-fired pizza oven deck overlooking the primary olive grove.
An indoor braai room with a built-in brick braai and bi-fold glass doors connects to the pool, travertine sundeck, and lawn. Down a half-level, a travertine pyjama lounge features a daybed nook overlooking the pool and patio doors. Bedrooms branch from here: the primary suite offers timber floors, fitted wardrobes, climate control, plantation shutters, and an en-suite travertine bathroom with a clawfoot bath in a shuttered bay window with 180-degree garden views, walk-in shower, dual pedestal basins, and private cloakroom. Secondary carpeted bedrooms feature climate control, plantation shutters, doors to a pétanque courtyard, and one of the two secondary bathrooms is styled with geometric and subway tiles, brassware, and frameless glass showers.
A standalone guest cottage offers a kitchenette, lounge, en-suite double-volume bedroom with a porthole shower window, south patio, and a gym/secondary lounge.
Staff quarters include a modern one-bedroom flat and an independent two-bedroom house.
Lower grounds feature a floodlit tennis court and a subterranean sports pavilion with stacking glass doors, polished concrete floors, bar, kitchenette, lounge, and restroom.
The curated garden includes laterite paths, Frantoio and Coratina olive groves, an ivy-clad walled garden with Helderberg West Peak views, a pétanque court under pollarded London plane trees, a secondary olive grove over chamomile and lemon thyme, and an open-air stone boma under a paperbark tree.
Full utility autonomy is engineered into the estate. Back-up solar power is generated by a 30 kW three-phase Apex system with 43 panels, three 10 kVA inverters, and a 47.7 kWh lithium battery bank. Water security combines a high-yield private borehole for computerised garden irrigation with a filtration plant pumping 250 litres per hour via dual DAB constant-pressure pumps.
Estate management is supported by a double-height barn-style workshop accessible from parking court and kitchen yard, plus a large timber Wendy house
