Words don't do justice to describe this beautiful stone house linked with an exquisite cast iron and glass conservatory! The entrance to the house is preceded by a large tiled courtyard surrounded by mature potted bay and lemon trees and an alfresco dining area which is a warm suntrap in the winters. The historical stone house has been given a modern and convenient twist with an open plan kitchen and dining area. The main sitting room runs the length of the house which enjoys a warm fireplace and the antique light fittings are faithful to the atmosphere of the whole property. Double French doors lead onto the front and side verandahs which again have exquisite light fittings and gorgeous views. A glass passage leads into the unique conservatory (80 sqm) which is fully tiled and must be seen to be appreciated. A fascinating beautifully fitted full bathroom serves the downstairs living space. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, a large sitting room and 2 fully fitted bathrooms- one of which is ensuite to the main bedroom. Flagstone flooring is in the kitchen/dining area with gleaming yellowwood in the sitting room and upstairs. Throughout there are large windows with shutters brightly painted and more elevated views of the countryside. There is a fully fitted separate garden cottage with its own entrance which is perfect as a B and B.
This 20,390 ha mini farm has 5 stables, a large greenhouse, stone building (60sqm previously used as a shop) and more light and airy undercover work spaces for any business you can imagine. A fascinating cactus and succulent exhibition garden sit graciously in the centre of this area. These large stone outbuildings are in good condition and are currently in use. 3 dams are fed by strong flowing streams which traverse the property and are linked to a filtration system. Kikuyu pastures are established, and 4 ha is left to natural forest.
This unique property has been featured in local and international publications (also used in film sets) could be set in Provance, France but is on your doorstep in the heart of the Midlands of KwaZulu Natal.
