Lovely Sought After Country Living

JOINT MANDATE

This delightful country family home is set within a beautiful 1.1ha well established and extensive indigenous and fynbos garden - a safe sanctuary to unwind in.

The property is in a small security estate just off the R44 and close to Somerset West. A rare, safe, and sought-after location within 3 minutes from Somerset College and within an easy distance of the hustle and bustle of Somerset West and Stellenbosch, where a plethora of art galleries, shops and world class restaurants can be found.

Comprising of 4 comfortable sized bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (main en-suite) this home has a lot to offer. The 4th bedroom is currently used as a TV room and has a lovely wood burning stove for the chilly winter days and nights with direct access into the garden. The open plan lounge dining room and kitchen are complimented by the double volume living area with a double-sided fireplace and double doors which open out onto the wooden deck and entertainment area. There is a separate spacious study with its own fireplace and an underfloor cellar, which the current owners use for storage. The abundance of light, terracotta tiles and loads of all round wood finishes adds a welcoming and cozy ambience to the home.

Both the study and lounge open unto a spacious wooden deck with absolutely breathtaking views of the surrounding Winelands, Helderberg and even some sea views. The open country kitchen has beautiful unique wooden finishes and a separate scullery. All the bedrooms are spacious and open unto the beautiful, luscious garden.

As the power supply is directly from Eskom, a solar PV system keeps Eskom's load shedding at bay with a 5KW inverter, 14X330W in split in two blocks (4,62KW) panels and 10KwHr of lithium batteries.

There is a unique natural pond in the garden with a lovely and decked entertainment area and an outside pizza oven. Apart from the mature well established fynbos garden there is a variety of lemon trees and fruit trees, olive trees, a chicken coop and a vegetable patch. There is still more than enough land and space available to keep a horse or two or for small-scale or concentrated agricultural activity. The property has an allocated Theewaterskloof water irrigation (agricultural) quota, which is a huge and additional bonus. It is ample to maintain the garden and even limited farming activities, and for a fraction of the price, properties inside the city zoning are paying for water.

There is still a separate workroom with outside toilet and a double garage. The property falls under the Stellenbosch District Municipality and borders the Helderberg area of Cape Town. This is certainly a rare opportunity not to be missed.
