OVERKRUIN - OVER THE SUMMIT OR CREST - A SMALL HOLDING WITH MIGHTY POTENTIAL.

The Soutpansberg mountain range, Louis Trichardt's East to west barrier has a gateway to Africa North of our borders.

The N1 threads through this mountain and over its summit is OVERKRUIN a hidden gem within a stones throw from the highway.

Twelve kilometer from town, a short 20 minute drive leaves behind the noise and bustle, its heat and humidity for the

mountain breezes, misty morning and evenings, the clear country air.

The property is about 6.3 hectares in extent, it borders the N1 and extends two thirds up the mountain to below its crest. A good

portion is natural bush (Approximately 3.5 hectare) There is a portion that was used for cultivation (about1,3 hectare) this was planted to

garden herbs and irrigated. On the mountain slope are two sheds and a reservoir. The sheds have been utilized for chicken

houses but the owners had plans to convert them to cottages. They have a separate vehicle entrance and electricity and utilities connected.

The property water supply is from two boreholes, but only one is equipped and utilized. The other is a reserve borehole. The

borehole delivers 3-4000lt per hour reliably. There are 8 x 5000lt water tanks that are used for the domestic and garden requirements

of the property. A small shade cloth nursery was used to cultivate exotic plants and remains, although not in use.

The outbuildings bordering the house consist of a workshop, garage, a storeroom and laundry.

Adjacent to the workshop is a thatched one bedroom flat with its own garden. The living area is an open plan lounge and kitchen with

a raised deck that could be used for an office or similar purpose. There is a full bathroom and the bedroom is accessed by a stairway

the bedroom being under the eaves of the roof. This cottage and second included in the house bring in an income of R 9 000 per month.

The second one bedroom flat with its own entrance into the living area has a bathroom and kitchen secluded from the main home.

The main house conjures up images of the past, of a bygone era, almost an English country scene.

The double story thatched home is a huge elongated rondavels, the ends of the dwelling are the unique lounge and the opposite end the

flat. The house interior is airy and bright with vaulting ceilings, quirky alcoves and six well proportioned bedrooms serviced by four

bathrooms. This property has the space for a very large family but can easily be converted to a guest house.

There are so many features that already exist here to make this a delightful home or business.

Consider the pool and the Koi dams facing the N1 and the valley beyond.

The roofed over braai and entertainment area with its valley view and proximity to the pool.

Easy access from the N1, yet screened from the road by the lush garden and trees.

Sloping lawns that allow natural bush and garden to merge.

The house with its impressive main entrance and stairs.

The remaining indigenous bush behind the house is well elevated and could have paths to the top for nature lovers.

The buyer will soon realize this properties potential, it is highly recommended.
