Property description

Set on an expansive 4,200 m² stand, this unique property offers three separate housing options, beautifully established gardens, and a wide array of features that make it ideal for an off-the-grid lifestyle or a live-and-work-from-home opportunity. With solar power, borehole water, fruit orchards, a play park, and ample parking space, this property perfectly combines self-sufficiency with comfort and charm.

The main house is a north-facing single-storey brick home equipped with a 10kW solar system and lithium batteries, supported by five 5,000-litre water tanks. It comprises three spacious bedrooms (one en-suite), two bathrooms, a sunny open-plan lounge with a cozy fireplace, a large dining area, and a fully fitted kitchen with a gas hob, ample cupboard space, and an adjoining wash-up area. A generous undercover braai area and two garages with additional covered parking complete the offering. All bedrooms feature built-in cupboards and reinforced burglar bars for added peace of mind. While previously occupied as a private residence, the home is currently being converted into short-term rental accommodation.

The garden cottage is set within its own fenced-off section of the property and boasts a private, well-maintained garden. This charming two-bedroom unit features laminated flooring throughout, one bathroom, and an open-plan living area with a fireplace and large windows that invite natural light. The main bedroom opens onto a covered veranda, while the second bedroom is tucked away in a cozy loft-style attic accessed by a steep staircase. The cottage is self-sufficient with its own water pump, geyser, and two 5,000-litre water tanks. It is currently operated as a successful short-term rental, holding “Superhost” status and enjoying consistent demand and excellent reviews.

The third dwelling is a newly renovated 12-metre container home, thoughtfully designed to include a private bedroom, bathroom, lounge, and kitchen. It extends onto a private deck and enclosed garden, offering comfort and privacy. Two undercover parking bays are allocated for this unit.

The property is further enhanced by its lush, established garden, which includes an abundant variety of fruit and nut trees such as naartjie, orange, lemon, lime, avocado, plum, apple, apricot, grapefruit, almonds, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, cherry guavas, gooseberries, and peppadews. A thriving vegetable garden and borehole ensure year-round productivity and sustainability.

This versatile property provides a wealth of opportunities, whether as a family estate, a lifestyle retreat, or an income-generating investment through short-term rentals. The option to purchase with furnishings included is available by negotiation, making this a truly turnkey opportunity.
