Located approximately 20 km from Howick, this expansive country property is set in a pristine part of the Karkloof, surrounded by indigenous forest rich in birdlife and wildlife. A perennial stream meanders through the land, enhancing the sense of peace, privacy, and natural beauty. The property offers an exceptional opportunity for restoration or reimagining, ideal for buyers seeking a tranquil rural retreat or lifestyle investment.
The single-storey main residence offers a generous floor area of approximately 500 m2 and is designed around spacious living and entertaining areas. Accommodation comprises five bedrooms, all en suite, with suspended timber floors featuring a variety of finishes. Windows throughout the home are predominantly timber, including Oregon sash windows, with additional steel-framed glazing adding character.
A large dining room opens onto a covered patio, creating an ideal space for gatherings and indoor-outdoor living. The home further offers two lounges, a private office with parquet flooring and a functional fireplace, and a wrap-around Natal veranda that embraces the surrounding landscape.
The farm-style kitchen is well suited to catering and family living, fitted with a pantry, scullery, a Garland gas oven with five-plate burners, and a separate gas griller.
Outbuildings include a laundry, workshop or storage area, and two carports.
Set apart from the main house, yet under the same roofline, are two cottages measuring approximately 140 m2 in total. Each unit offers an open-plan living and sleeping area, a bathroom, and a loft, with a shared carport and veranda adjoining this partially double-storey structure. Additional improvements include a CGI-clad garage, a further carport, and an incomplete staff room or cottage.
A beautifully manicured garden surrounds the home, completing this peaceful Karkloof haven and offering a rare opportunity to restore and enhance a property of scale in an exceptional natural setting.
