“Living in Lake Michelle is like being on holiday without having to leave your own home,” says the owner. “I wanted to create a serene and tranquil space that would be calm, peaceful and comfortable so that everyone felt completely at home and wanted to come and stay on weekend”. Well, it worked… this house for sale in Noordhoek fits extended family like a glove and is made for entertaining.
“Being right on the water at Lake Michelle eco estate has changed our lives. We often go up onto the roof terrace or out on our boat and join our neighbours in the middle of the lake for sundowners and watch the most unbelievable sunsets with beautiful colours reflecting off the water. Or we have dinner and then gather around the fire pit for hours in the evenings, watching the stars and enjoying the sounds of nature around us. In winter, we can still enjoy the pleasure of having a braai as it is completely enclosed with glass and our two fireplaces keep us warm and cosy.” Indoor-outdoor, double-story house for sale in Noordhoek has been thoughtfully designed, with the bar and braai area opening up to the solar-heated pool and a hot tub.
Magnificent mountain views from Lake Michelle eco estate across the Valley, are constantly mesmerising but being a wetlands area, there’s so much of interest right here at the foot of the garden – saltwater marshes and three naturally occurring islands all teem with indigenous wildlife. More than 120 species of birds share their home with otters, fish and even the rare Western Leopard Toad.
Water’s Edge is close to Noordhoek Farm Village with its restaurants and delis, and the ‘village’ even has its own Aegir microbrewery tucked into the milkwood trees on the way to the beach – just the place to relax with sundowners after a walk on Noordhoek’s magnificent Long Beach. Set at the foot of Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the most spectacular routes in the world, it’s no surprise that this is a destination for swallow investors who come here to enjoy long summers in the Cape Peninsula.
And once you’ve discovered laid-back Noordhoek, you’ll be hard pressed to leave. With excellent shopping malls nearby and a vibrant community market on Wednesdays in the village, along with the sunset market on Thursday evenings at Cape Point Vineyards, it’s no wonder this area originally attracted the horsey set and surfing families who wanted their kids to experience the joy of living in a rural setting. Today, they have the best of both worlds as discerning buyers have moved here for the peaceful lifestyle of the Southern Peninsula. A house like this for sale offers a unique opportunity to live in harmony with nature while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape of Noordhoek.
