I once had a farm in Africa at the foot of the Ngong Hills……. these famous words of Karen Blixen’s ring true of this property, with the backdrop of Inhlozane mountain and the colonial feel of a bygone era.
The majestic 5 bedroomed homestead dating back to 1913 holds many stories within its thick stone walls. Tastefully modernised but still retaining the original wooden floors, high ceilings, wood surround sash windows and the expansive verandas. Rolling lawns with mature trees, manicured beds and expansive views, there is even a tennis court.
The modern kitchen has granite worktops, a butler sink and a separate scullery with a double wash up sink.
All 5 bedrooms are ensuite and there is a wide passageway that links the living areas and the bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom has a
stunning bay window.2 of the bedrooms are sectioned off on their own wing with their own entrances that lead on to their own shared veranda.
