Perched at the pinnacle of Linksfield Ridge in an exclusive, private enclosure, this extraordinary three-story home is a sanctuary of luxury, history, and breathtaking scenery. Designed in 1970 by renowned architect Gerald Gordon, this architectural masterpiece offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Johannesburg’s rich heritage.
With unobstructed panoramic views stretching across the northern skyline to the distant Magaliesberg Mountains, the setting is nothing short of spectacular. Nestled on a private road shared with only ten homes, the property ensures privacy and security, with access controlled by a single gated entrance monitored by a dedicated security company.
This remarkable residence is designed for both refined living and effortless relaxation. Expansive entertainment spaces embrace the surrounding landscape, while handcrafted solid wood doors and a thoughtfully designed layout add warmth and sophistication. The home features four spacious bedrooms, four elegant bathrooms, a private study, and a wine cellar, all seamlessly blending comfort with timeless craftsmanship. Constructed entirely from concrete, the structure allows for easy interior customisation, offering endless possibilities to tailor the space to your vision.
Beyond its architectural prestige, the property holds a storied past. Set on a historic hill where Mahatma Gandhi once stayed with his close friend Hermann Kallenbach, the land carries a deep cultural significance. Kallenbach, a German-Jewish architect and activist, shared Gandhi’s vision for social justice and communal living, and their enduring friendship remains a symbol of unity. The original stone retaining wall, built by Kallenbach himself, stretches nearly a kilometre long, a lasting tribute to the history woven into this remarkable location.
Offering an unparalleled combination of exclusivity, history, and breathtaking natural beauty, this mountainside retreat is truly one of Johannesburg’s most coveted properties.
