Description
This picturesque smallholding is situated approx 15min away from Ballito. If you desire a tranquil country lifestyle, yet want to remain conveniently close to essential facilities, this property could be just what you are looking for. It's agricultural features include a small banana plantation, 30 mature Pecan trees, approximately 300 young Macedamian trees and a greenhouse for planting vegetables or herbs plus a potting shed, allowing you to be as industrious as you choose.
The four bedroom home dates back to the early 1900's with some contemporary updates and renovations but still retains its original charm. Notably, the main hallway, dining and living room and one of the larger bedrooms all feature gleaming oregan pine floors. Some interior doors and door frames are also made of attractive Oregan wood. The classic style kitchen was tastefully refurbished not long ago and has cesar stone tops, a gas hob, a pantry and a large centre island that rests on industrial castors.
The house includes two en-suite bathrooms, a seperate guest loo and an additional bathroom with a shower. The main bedroom is spacious with a walk in dressing room and a bright, full bathroom that features a shower with a large skylight.
A large room that can be accessed from the living area as well as the kitchen is currently used as a very spacious home office but also lends itself as an excellent choice for a second lounge or a children's playroom.
And don't forget the sparkling pool and braai area with its covered patio to enjoy al-fresco meals and summertime entertaining.
For your power requirements, the property has a direct Eskom supply and in the event of power outages there is a 5kva generator ready to kick in. The property also boasts a new 120m borehole, installed in early 2023, pumping at 5,500 litres per hour, paired with Jojo tanks (with pressure pumps) catering to your household water needs. There is also a pipeline servitude to the river to pump up to the home although after the recent devastating KZN floods, the watercourse was altered. You will also find a 50,000 litre reservoir behind the greenhouse that is not currently in use.
Additional features of the property include a double carport, a workshop, staff accommodation, a laundry just outside the kitchen and a further larger shed below the homestead.
A tenanted, fully fenced one bedroom cottage with it's own entrance is situated just below the home.
