Description

Aspire to own this magnificent horse property in the KZN Midlands.  

The main family homestead boasts 4 bedrooms, 4,5 large bathrooms, 2 of which are en suite. One of the en suite bedrooms is
separated from the other 3 bedrooms by an expansive living area.  

The living area is open plan to a modern kitchen, alcove, with a central island, Caesarstone countertops and prep bowl. The microwave and coffee machine are installed as fixtures. Oregon pine ceiling beams, laminate floors and downlighting are features of the kitchen-dining area. An L-shape, seamless flow to the dining and lounge area is the result.

Leading off the kitchen is a separate laundry/scullery, and versatile general-purpose room. This room could serve as a second office, study or perhaps a ‘man-cave’ hobbies room combination.  

Ducted aircon and underfloor heating in most areas are additional advantages. 

 Two of the 4 bathrooms are full bathrooms with bath, shower, wash basin and toilet. Two others have shower, wash basin and toilet. Bathrooms have been modernized in recent years with state-of-the-art finishes and fittings.

An office/study and guest cloak room off the entrance hall is well positioned for arriving/departing guests. 

 A north-facing, sun-drenched, frameless, glass enclosed lounge/patio, jutting out proud to the main building, has views over the garden to the wooded slopes beyond. This room has a double pitched ceiling and is beautifully relaxing and warm in the winter months. With its built in BBQ, you will be proud to entertain friends and family. The landscaped country garden is level and lawned and has a selection of flower beds and shrubs. 

A fiberglass pool will invite the kids to splash this summer! 

The double garage is semi-detached to the homestead. 

Equestrian facilities are perhaps the outstanding feature of this property. Close to the heart of the horse breeding fraternity in the KZN Midlands, the property boasts 6ha of post and rail paddocks, all gated, with quality grazing. Two stable blocks (one American Barn style) accommodate 14 loose boxes in total. All stables have rubberized flooring, and walls are rubberized up to the 1,2m level.

In addition to its eight stables, the American Barn style has a wash bay, feed room and tack room (with extra security). An office/reception room overlooks the arena and has a kitchenette and cloak room.

The upper stable block has 6 stables, a full length, all-weather, covered veranda, and tack/feed room. 

The sand and fiber riding arena is an oval-shaped and impressive (world class, in fact) 75m X 35 m Ebb and Flow style design. 

A mechanical 6 horse walker, approximately 16m in diameter, currently used daily, is a negotiable extra. 

Other outbuildings consist of a block of 4 staff rooms, each with en suite bathrooms, 2 additional en suite staff rooms and a two-bedroom thatch cottage (in need of some attention). A small guard house, if required, is located at the main entrance to the property. The homestead and stable area are made doubly secure by a combination of weld mesh and electric fencing. 

A small dam at the lower end of the property is stocked with largemouth bass, which continue to thrive - yes, even with the attentions of the resident fish eagle! 

A borehole supplies good quality water at approximately 8000 liters per hour. Two 500 - liter JoJo tanks will stay with the property. Electricity is 3 phase with a 27 kva generator backup system. 

This home is more than just an equestrian property in the countryside. You will have the convenience of living on the doorstep of Nottingham Road’s shops and infrastructure, as well as some of the country’s best schooling and health facilities.
