House for sale in Clarens

Exclusive Mandate:

Some properties are simply different. This is one of them.

Tucked away at the bottom of peaceful Ashgar Estate, approximately 5.5 km outside Clarens, this unique property offers a rare combination of sandstone character, country charm, privacy and potential.

Surrounded by working farms, Ashgar Estate provides an authentic Eastern Free State country setting, with beautiful views across the farmland towards the mountains. The gravel road adds to the feeling of being wonderfully removed from everyday life, while Clarens remains within easy reach.

The property being sold is Unit 2, being the stand on which an existing sandstone cottage under construction is situated.

Important: The two-bedroom sandstone home shown in the photographs is situated on communal property, with Unit 2 having the exclusive right to use and occupy the home. The home itself does not form part of the registered unit being sold. Purchasers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the sectional title scheme, title documentation and applicable exclusive-use rights before purchasing.

The home captures the charm of rustic country living, with beautiful sandstone walls, an open-plan living and kitchen area, two bedrooms and a versatile front room that could serve as a studio, home office or additional living space.

Unit 2 also has its own piece of history. An older three-room sandstone structure stands on the property, currently roofless and awaiting restoration. Subject to the necessary approvals, this could potentially become additional accommodation, a guest cottage, studio or creative space.

Positioned at the bottom of the estate, the property enjoys an exceptional sense of privacy, with open farmland and mountain views creating a peaceful country outlook.

This is not a conventional modern home. Its appeal lies in its individuality, authentic sandstone character and the possibilities it offers to someone with vision.

Important financial consideration: Due to the nature and structure of the property and the rights associated with the communal home, the sale does not qualify for conventional home-loan or bond financing and must therefore be purchased as a cash transaction. Purchasers should obtain independent legal advice regarding the sectional title structure, registered unit and exclusive-use rights. Monthly sectional title levies are payable.

For the right buyer, this could be a peaceful country escape, creative retreat or a unique opportunity to restore and build on what is already here.

If you are looking for sandstone, open countryside, privacy and a property with a story of its own, this one is worth experiencing.
