Here is everything you could want in your own town and country estate! 2 HA with a stunning, large modern farm house set in a mature garden, stables and lots of garages, in a premium location close to all amenities and with numerous options as an investment property.

This 2HA (19,961m2) property is situated on the edge of the Benoni North residential developments where agricultural zoned plots are becoming increasingly rare.

The property and buildings are neat and clean and require no work. It is fully walled and fenced and has experienced no criminal activity in the past 17 years.

The property is 7 minutes from Ashton and St Dunstans private schools, walking distance to the Montessori primary / pre-primary school, less than 10 minutes from 3 shopping centres and Linmed hospital, 3 minutes from Engen and BP quick shops and 20 minutes from the airport. Access from Benoni side is via good tarred roads and it even has street lights.

The large house is a modern take on classic farm style, with many classic touches like hardwood finishes, ball and claw bath tubs, chandelier lights throughout, high ceilings, bay windows, Cobra classic taps and a modern farm style kitchen. It was built as a holistic project with consistent styling and finishes throughout. The house is north facing with the priority on being bright and sunny. It has 400m2 under roof and can potentially be divided into two homes of various configurations (or a home and office suite), each with its own entrance and privacy. There is a large open-plan kitchen/ dining / lounge area leading out on to the stoep, as well as a separate tv lounge opening to the pool area, 3 full bathrooms, 6 large bedrooms (currently 3 used as bedrooms, one as a tack room, one as a study and one as a gym) and a large room for a live-in maid.

The property has double-volume garaging for 4 cars which allows for mezzanine storage space, and a 90m2 storage building that can accommodate up to a further 6 cars and includes a service pit. Horse accommodation consists of 4 closed stables and 2 open stables, a feed room and accommodation for a groom/ gardener, as well as a further 90m2 under-roof storage for grass, horse boxes etc. In front of the stables is a flat area that has been used as an arena.

There is a mature garden with numerous beautiful large trees, 2 boreholes (not in use), a thatched lapa, duck pond, fruit trees, bird aviary, tree house, 3-phase electricity, electric fencing, alarm system, John Deere 500cc ride-on mower, etc

1 HA of the property is clear and level and is ideal for future residential development or sub-division. There is also a conceptual plan for converting the stables and under-roof storage area into a 4-bedroom house. Being so close to all amenities, this property is likely to continue to appreciate rapidly irrespective of its use, while also offering opportunities for proactive development.

All offers for the property will be considered.
