Imagine relaxing on your veranda as the sun sets behind the mountains while Black Wildebeest wander peacefully past, or enjoying your morning coffee to the haunting call of a Fish Eagle. This is just a taste of the unique lifestyle awaiting you on this exceptional 1-hectare property in the sought-after De Mistplek Private Reserve.
Lovingly restored with great care and attention to detail, the historic Old School building has been transformed into a charming country home while preserving its rich heritage.

A thoughtfully designed extension and tasteful modern finishes provide all the comforts of contemporary living without compromising the home`s timeless appeal.
The home offers two bedrooms, a large country-style kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a generous open-plan lounge and dining area. The covered braai room is the perfect place to entertain family and friends while soaking up breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
Large sash windows allow an abundance of natural light to fill the home, creating a warm, airy atmosphere and framing the spectacular scenery from every room.
Designed for comfortable off-grid living, the property is fully equipped with 12 x 530 W solar panels, a 5 kVA inverter, and two lithium batteries. Water is supplied from reservoirs within the reserve and stored in two water tanks with a combined capacity of 12,000 liters, while a 21-liter gas geyser provides reliable hot water.
The property is securely fenced to keep pets safely enclosed while allowing the wildlife to roam freely beyond the boundary. A total of 55 indigenous trees have been planted throughout the garden, all supported by a drip irrigation system, creating a beautiful, established landscape that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
