Situated near the peak of the prestigious High Riding Estate, 11 High Riding spans over 12,000 square meters of prime land, offering sweeping views, total privacy, and world-class multi-generational living. Living in High Riding provides an unparalleled lifestyle—residents enjoy exclusive access to extensive bridle paths and scenic walking routes cut through the estate’s central green belt, perfect for running, walking, or riding, as well as a central community dam.

From the entrance, a scenic grass-block driveway transitions to an expansive, fully paved driveway and parking courtyard servicing both residences, which are impressively positioned at the top of the property—with the main house situated at the top right and the second residence at the top left.

Positioned at the top right of the property, the architecturally striking main residence is designed in a grand U-shape around a central swimming pool. Ground-floor living is defined by scale and comfort. On one wing, a sleek, modern luxury kitchen features an open layout, a generous walk-in pantry, and direct access to two double garages via a practical mudroom. On the opposite wing sits an unmatched entertainment hub complete with a custom bar, indoor braai, and effortless flow to a covered outdoor patio overlooking the pool and manicured grounds. For cozy evenings, a separate enclosed lounge serves as a dedicated movie room.

Upstairs, a central pajama lounge connects two private wings. The left wing is reserved for an impressive master suite complete with a private office and a lavish full en-suite bathroom featuring a deep soaking bath, large shower, double vanity, and an extensive walk-in closet. The right wing offers four full en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets and private balcony access—the flexible fourth room is fitted with a built-in Murphy bed that easily functions as a second executive office or guest room.

Positioned to the top left of the grounds, the fully self-contained, single-story second house adds immense versatility with its own double garage. Designed with an emphasis on seamless outdoor flow, every bedroom in this home features double glass doors opening directly onto a broad, fully covered patio. Inside, the residence offers a spacious open-plan lounge, dining area, and kitchen with a pantry, alongside a dedicated braai room with sliding doors, space to add in a bar and a guest toilet. The master suite includes connected closets and a double-vanity en-suite with dual shower heads, while the remaining two bedrooms share a full family bathroom. Out front, a large patio area offers breathtaking elevated views and a wind-protected space ideal for potted plants and outdoor relaxation.

The property is expertly engineered with an underground civil drainage system to handle seasonal mountain runoff. This includes a primary catchment dam positioned in front of the main residence that feeds directly into a larger catchment dam on the lower grounds.
