Set within a quiet, 24/7 guarded street in Melville, this remarkable freestanding facebrick home at Chateau Road, Richmond / Melville delivers a rare combination of absolute security, exceptional scale, and unmatched lifestyle appeal — all just moments from the energy of city living.

Positioned on a 355m² stand with an impressive 362m² under roof, the home is uniquely larger under roof than the land itself that is a true architectural anomaly and an immediate standout. The street enjoys 24-hour manned security at only R800 per month, offering complete peace of mind in one of Johannesburg’s most character-rich neighbourhoods.

From the entrance hall, the home reveals itself as immaculately maintained, low-maintenance, and thoughtfully laid out. The outdoor entertainment area is a major highlight, featuring a swimming pool and lapa, perfectly positioned to overlook the Johannesburg Country Club in Auckland Park, framed by majestic oak trees and expansive greenbelt views.

Established in 1906, the Country Club Johannesburg is a registered heritage site spanning 14 hectares of landscaped gardens and world-class recreational facilities. Rose, herb, veldgrass and cloud gardens blend seamlessly with padel courts, tennis, squash, cricket, bowling greens, croquet, a modern gym, swimming pool and running/mountain biking trails. Restaurants, bars, boutique accommodation and event spaces complete a lifestyle few homes can claim as their backdrop.

Accommodation within the home is generous, flexible, and future-proofed:
• Three exceptionally large bedrooms with excellent cupboard space
• A truly massive ±120m² games room, which can function as a fourth bedroom, a studio or entertainment lounge, or be reconfigured into a statement master suite of extraordinary proportions — easily accommodating a luxury bedroom with dual en-suite bathrooms and dressing areas
• Main bedroom with en-suite bathroom
• Two upstairs bedrooms sharing a bathroom
• Guest toilet downstairs

3 Rooms enjoy elevated city views, blending leafy outlooks with an unmistakable urban edge.

Location further elevates the offering. The home sits around the corner from Melville’s main strip, with its cafés, boutiques and nightlife, and within easy reach of Xai Xai and other iconic restaurants. While the immediate street remains calm, private and secure, the surrounding area is alive with culture, dining and city energy — delivering the best of both worlds.

This is not just a home; it is a rare lifestyle asset — secure, spacious, and genuinely unique, with scale and adaptability seldom found in this location.
