5 Bedroom House for sale in Albert Falls

Set within the intimate and highly sought-after Orangewood Estate, this beautifully positioned waterfront home offers a rare opportunity to experience modern farmhouse living in one of the Midlands’ most peaceful natural settings. Once a working orange orchard farm, the estate still carries echoes of its agricultural heritage, with original orange trees thoughtfully preserved amongst the homesteads and active surrounding farmland. A picturesque farm-style driveway winds through mature macadamia and orange trees, immediately creating a sense of escape from city life. Despite its tranquil setting, the estate lies just 30km from Pietermaritzburg, offering the perfect balance between convenience and country living. With only 10 homesteads within the estate, privacy and exclusivity are assured. Positioned on the banks of Khayalami Bay at Albert Falls Dam, this expansive double-storey residence enjoys uninterrupted waterfront views and direct dam access. The home itself embraces a warm modern farmhouse aesthetic — generous open-plan living spaces, large picture-frame windows, exposed trusses, neutral finishes, and expansive covered verandas all combine to create a relaxed and timeless atmosphere. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, sliding doors open onto entertainment verandas overlooking the water, where mornings begin with mist rising off the dam and evenings end around the fire. Spanning approximately 400sqm, the residence offers five generous bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a guest suite on the lower level. Three of the bedrooms open directly onto verandas with sweeping views across Khayalami Bay. The spacious lounge, dining room, and kitchen form the heart of the home, centred around a large fireplace ideal for cooler Midlands evenings. A separate scullery and laundry lead directly into the garage for practical everyday living. Orangewood Estate is perfectly suited to families, nature lovers, and those seeking a slower, more intentional lifestyle.
