Description

This magnificent Heritage property oozes character and authentic Old World charm. The warm ambiance of wood and the nostalgia of true hospitality envelop one immediately, and one is struck by the tasteful blending of old and new. Lovingly renovated and maintained, the property is in excellent condition. There is a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, with the lounge and bar opening to a large entertainment deck with beautiful lagoon views, and the bedrooms leading to outdoor patios or stoeps. The setting is so peaceful that the Coucals and Knysna Loeries visit regularly from the nearby Pledge Nature Reserve.

The two cottages are equally charming, and cleverly positioned to allow privacy for all three buildings - they have already been subdivided, so can be sold off individually. The cottages, and a guest suite with its own entrance in the main house, provide the option of generating an easy extra income from short or long-term letting or serving as a multi-generational family compound. With perimeter walls, palisade fencing and electric wiring, it could also serve as secure cluster living for a group of friends. The property offers huge potential as a work-from-home business, being only a 2min drive from the CBD.
