Property description

EXCLUSIVE MANDATE

Seize the rare opportunity to own a historic Cape Dutch home nestled on a breathtaking 1.9 hectares, perfectly positioned at the edge of the Wilderness National Parks. This property boasts sweeping views of pristine wetlands, making it a true sanctuary for nature lovers.

As you enter the landscaped garden, you'll be greeted by a magnificent manor house, complete with a sprawling swimming pool, two charming flats, and a traditional rondawel. 

The manor is designed for comfort and elegance, featuring a north-facing lounge that overlooks the pool, a gourmet kitchen, and a cozy dining area with an inviting second lounge and fireplace.

The primary suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a comfortable lounge area, and a kitchenette. Double doors open to a serene patio and garden, adorned with tall trees and the melodious calls of weaver birds. Here, you can unwind and immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance, often accompanied by the sight and sound of resident fish eagles soaring above.

A second suite, also basking in the northern sun, includes a kitchenette and direct access to the pool area, perfect for guests or family. 

Additionally, on the east-side you have a study, potentially functioning as another kitchenette , a bedroom with garden access and a bathroom.

On the west side, the property features the historical cottage, once the power hub of the estate, housing two well-appointed apartments. Each one-bedroom unit includes an en-suite bathroom and an open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchenette area—one with stunning views over the vlei and the other surrounded by lush garden scenery.

With consent for guest house and tourist facilities, this property presents incredible potential for an Airbnb or long-term rentals. The Kingfisher trail, winding through the property, attracts both tourists and locals, providing an excellent opportunity to establish a delightful tea garden for visitors to enjoy refreshments.

In 2021, plans were initiated to rezone the property for restaurant use, offering yet another avenue for growth that a new owner could explore. The fertile soil also opens the door for high-value crops in the orchard area or the establishment of a small organic market.

Don’t miss your chance to own this exclusive property that blends history, beauty, and endless possibilities.
