Knew you’d like that one!🤩

You’re funny, Thabo! Wait till you see what I have lined up next. Time to change your mind again 🤣 In all seriousness, this is in my personal TOP-3 of all-time…

Definitely a TOP-2024 contender indeed 🤗

That’s nice of you to wait so long - next time, pls note that I rarely drop them early in the afternoon. Check late afternoon/evenings rather. Or set notifications on of course 😎 Awesome to hear the wait was worth it!

Well, thank you! Glad you liked it. Any chance you’ve forwarded this link to someone you know who might like it as well😎

@@LuxuryHomesJohannesburg well I more than liked it I loved it.

@mayormsuthu1465 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED then 😎

That makes two of us 🤣

Awesome to hear you enjoyed it!! Very fair point - pools are always an interesting element to added to the mix. Some don’t want one; others must have one. Guess they wanted to have something in between?🤔

Hear hear, Katlego! You saying if the Beemer wasn't in there, you'd have a different impression of this house? LOL In all seriousness, this SBE masterpiece truly is at another level!

100%, Shadreck! Thx for taking the time to watch 🤗

Truly stunning indeed! Let’s see if I can line up another similar one for you 😎

You think so, Blessing?! Think I should do more of these?! 🤔 It’s definitely in my personal TOP-3 EVER.

@@LuxuryHomesJohannesburg from you guys have showcased until now l don’t think there’s anything better than this. SBE architects created a masterpiece Attention to detail is unmatched l wonder what is the price tag if it was on the market

@blessingnyathi3751 I think you might be right there! Pls DM me on Instagram @LuxuryHomesJohannesburg

I was going to say - that’s a good sign, no?! 🤗🤗 You’re very welcome.

100%, Kevinn 😎

Truly amazing indeed 🥰

Truly is, Caroline! One of your fave?

YAY YAY YAY, Lucky! Let me try & find more of these then 😎

100%, Magosi 🤗

I’d agree with you there, Moses. It’s a VERY impressive home 😎

Mission accomplished, I’d say then 🤗

100% agree, Saki 😎

You bet! You ask - I TRY to deliver 🤣

YAY, Palesa! Glad you enjoyed it - where does it now rank vs other tours you've seen on this channel?

Awesome to hear, Lloyd!

100% agree!

Well, thank you, Siwaphiwe! It helps to have a property like this SBE masterpiece + Marussia doing the tour...

Exactly my thinking! Let’s not forget STUNNING indeed or you’d hurt my feelings there, Minnie 🥰

@@LuxuryHomesJohannesburg Lol😀😀

🤗🤗

Thanks so much 😊

Thanks for saying those kind words 🤗

Thought so as well, Zanele 🤗

One of THE biggest main bedroom suites I've ever seen...

Truly is, Art 🥰

Cheers!

Truly is wow 😍

No human error involved there, Kenny? LOL SBE is just at another level. Period. Fingers crossed I manage to get into a few other ones of theirs that I'm trying to line up...

@@LuxuryHomesJohannesburg Brilliant

Indeeeeed 🤞

Truly truly is magnificent! I wasn’t kidding on my Community Post yesterday when it said it was just wow! “Fish & chips humour”? Is that we do when we tour houses? 🤣

It truly is spectacular, lol no when Marrussia was in the second kitchen she said that's where you prepare the fish and chips.

You are awesome man, michellin work

@oram9112 Oooh yes! 🤣

Really is, Katlego 🤩

It really is!

Thought so as well 😎

Truly beautiful, Dumisani 🤩

Love is in the air, Sally 🥰

Truly a beauty indeed 🥰

Wow wow wow indeed, my friend 🤗

Fingers crossed, Sbinda 🤞

One with nature, I’d say! 😎

Same here🤣

Verrrrrry much so!

Verrrrry much so 🥰

100%, Tshimollo. I didn't want to bring up that property whilst we were touring this one, but you can see its similarities. And you'll have an idea of its price as well then!

Truly stunning indeed!

You bet! Hope you enjoyed it!

Well, thank you, Amy! Much appreciate you saying those kind words. It’ll likely be in October somewhere given my current growth. This isn’t a channel that’ll explode overnight to 100k. It’s a steady climb post per post per post 🥰

Soooo glad to hear on both occasions, Nyati 🤗

Likewise - in my Top-3 as well! I’m hoping that all the time but it doesn’t go any further than a glass of wine (oops that sounded bad) LOL Speaking of which - here’s one I’m hoping to do exactly that: instagram.com/p/C4-S5fGsoZ6/?igsh=emlpM3BiNzZsNzkx so 🤞🤞

@LuxuryHomesJohannesburg yeah, I saw it on your IG. I was in complete awe 🙏. Almost commented,'WHALE', but the asking price humbled me 🙂 I am sure that can be arranged. Seeing as most of these homes on show are usually vacant. I don't see why not 🤷🏽‍♂️

Well, it shouldn’t stop us from dreaming, right?! Always an issue of cost though - who pays for the flight, airport car shuttle, overnight stay etc. Assuming I do for free…🤔

@@LuxuryHomesJohannesburg if my pockets were deep enough, I would cover all these cost for you. 🤞

@SirGG187 That’s very nice of you to say! I’d ask you to sponsor me all over SA if I were to follow all the requests to do tours!! I recon if the agent can fetch/bring me to airport and I spend the night at the house I’m left with about a R2k RT fight. That’d be the only cost if I give my time for free 🤔

LOL you telling me I need to start putting up the ugly ones for a while so you can be content with your choice for a few weeks? 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you, Richard! It’s one of my fave as well. Truly stunning home🥰 I know & respect your insight as you’re quite educated on what’s happening. Love your thinking wrt $$ but perhaps somewhat bullish 🤗

Thank you if it has one fault is that it not North facing but I do not care. I think I would add a motor to the garden gate! If they wanted to sell it would move to the top of the list of my houses to buy if I had the money,and wanted to live in Gauteng , but 💰💰💰💰💰 I would rather buy in Western Cape

@redinza 100%, Richard 😎

Stunning nature / greenbelt setup 🤩

Love privacy

Very much so, Olivia 🤗

Yessss🥰

Yessss🥰

Fair question. Wish I knew the answer 🤔

Here’s are the details for your perusal: The Long Term Lease - Waterfall Country and Village Estate
(info from the Waterfall Management Company and website) Applicable in the Waterfall Country Estate & Village General The company called the Waterfall Country Estate WMC (Proprietary) Limited owns the land on which the Waterfall Country Lifestyle Estate & Village reside. For residents on the new estates, the ownership structure is based on a long term lease rather than full title, sectional title or fractional title etc. Purchasers are thus buying limited right to the land and have the right to occupy the stand as per the lease agreement for the period prescribed in the agreement (ie. 99 years) and in perpetuity to extend the lease term. Although not a common form of asset ownership in South Africa until now, the long term lease is a viable and proven form of residential property ownership used throughout the world. Nature and effect The lease agreement is signed for a specified amount (ie. lease consideration) which is a once off payment from the lessee to the lessor for the right to occupy the land as per the agreement for a term of 99 years from the date of registration with the option to renew or extend the lease. The lease is registered (in the office of the Registrar of Deeds in Pretoria) in the form of a notarial deed against the title of ownership by the lessor (the person letting the property) in favour of the lessee (the person to whom the property is let). This awards a great deal of protection for the lessee because he/she is ensured of a legal entitlement to enforce his undisturbed right of use and enjoyment over the property within the rules and regulations set by the home owners association. Should the lease consideration payable to the lessor be financed, it can be done through a financial institution of the lessee’s choice. To ensure the rights of the bank (as they are initially funding your purchase), as well as it’s clients, are protected, Waterfall consulted with the bank panel of South Africa and negotiated various conditions contained in the agreement. Any permanent improvements to the land form part of the land and thus the lease agreement. What happens when you want to sell the property? Like any asset, it can be exchanged for compensation. In this case, like any form of property, it’s dictated by market value or what someone is prepared to pay for it on any given day. Whether with the assistance of an agent or privately done, once a price is negotiated (including the renewal fee of 3.5%) and paid to the seller, the purchaser (new lessee) takes registration of a new 99 year lease. On that transfer, the 3.5% plus VAT, plus 1%, is paid to the Lessor, being the Waterfall Country Estate WMC (Proprietary) Limited. The benefit of this arrangement is that transfer duty (between 5% & 8% as of 2010) is not applicable to the deal and thus allows a more favourable purchase price to be negotiated by both parties. The extension of the lease period and the cession of the lease rights are registered simultaneously in the deeds office. Like the transfer of a freehold property, the seller is required to settle all outstanding, levies, rates, taxes and municipal charges relating to the leased property A benefit of this arrangement is that transfer duties are not applicable to the deal and thus allows a more favourable purchase price to be negotiated by both parties. Furthermore, generally the transaction time from signature of the sale agreement to registration in the deeds office is much quicker than in the case of a freehold or sectional title property. Hypothetical Scenarios *Should the lessee sell the leasehold rights earlier than 3 years after the first registration of the lease agreement, the purchaser of the leasehold rights will not pay the renewal fee and will retain the balance of years remaining on the agreement? Example: I sell my property 2 years after the first registration; the buyer will not have to pay the 3.5% renewal fee and will be entitled to the remaining 97 years on the lease. *Should the lessee leasehold rights after that initial 3 year period, the purchaser will take ownership of a 99 year lease. Example: I sell my property after 10 years, I will negotiate the selling price with the buyer to include the 3.5% renewal fee. The buyer will take ownership of the leasehold rights for a 99 year period. *Should the leasehold rights be disposed of pursuant to a testamentary bequest ie. A will, the heir will take ownership of the leasehold rights without having to pay the renewal fee and will retain the balance of years remaining on the agreement. Example: I pass away after 30 years and the property is passed down to my son as per my will. He will not have to pay the 3.5% renewal fee and will be entitled to the remaining 69 years on the lease. *The leasehold rights can be sold at any stage in the 99 year period but if the 99 year period comes to an end, the entity owning the leasehold rights will have to renew the lease by paying 3.5% of the fair value of the property and will be entitled to a lease for another 99 years. Example: I buy the leasehold rights in my family trust, after the property has been handed down through, let’s say 3 generations, my great grandson owns the leasehold rights in 99 years time. He will have to renew the lease agreement with the lessor by paying 3.5% of the fair value of the property at the time and again extend the lease to another 99 years. *No renewal fee is payable if the leasehold rights are transferred to a spouse in terms of an order of court in divorce proceedings. Example: I purchase the leasehold rights and live comfortably with my wife in the property for 10 years. We divorce and the court rules that the leasehold rights are to be transferred to my wife. The leasehold rights are transferred to her name without the 3.5% renewal fee being payable, she will be entitled to the remaining 89 years on the lease.

Thanks for stopping by, Marco. I respectfully disagree. Your staff should be using the same kitchen downstairs kitchen as you, hereby interfering with your privacy time in the evening/morning? Having an outdoor kitchen is a must in larger-sized homes as it is just impractical to run up & down to the main kitchen. Lastly, any decent sized show kitchen such as this one here must have an extended (chef’s) kitchen to do the heavy ‘dirty work’.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It's officially THE longest and detailed comment I have EVER received, so THANK you 😎 I wish I could address all your design / architectural points in detail, but vast majority are beyond my knowledge scope, as I wouldn't be able to respond to them! Sorry! Regarding your camera comment: I'm still using my old iPhone 11, so I'm aware it's oftentimes grainy (especially in lower light conditions), but with my new professional camera, which will be operational soon (I'm still practicing and don't quite dare taking it to these video tours just yet), I hope to have solved that problem once and for all!! Thanks again for your continued support!!

Glad you like the house! Any specific part you can give as an example where I can improve my camera movement? Always eager to learn. Much appreciated 🤗

That’s awesome to hear 😎

Thanks for stopping by. Plenty of steps around the house. Personally, I’ve never had an encounter myself, nor heard stories of people in these homes with snakes? 🤔 Perhaps not a thing in Gauteng? Anyone any expediences to share with us?
