Prime Countryside Living

Could this be the one for you?

Perhaps it is perfect the way it is or you may wish to add to suit your vision.

It is a manageable sized portion of land, a small holding, with an expansive big property feel.

This elevated North facing 5.4Ha countryside property offers magnificent views.

Making it even more attractive is the water rights, established garden, fruit orchard, and pool and the private location in the lush Bitou valley - a must to consider if you are looking for a permanent or holiday countryside escape.

The Main house has 4 bedroom (or 3 bedrooms with a dedicated study/playroom) plus there is a 2 bedroom Cottage, both reflect Cape Dutch gabled architecture.

A full length covered front porch overlooks the established garden and the pool (solar heated) towards the hillsides and distant mountains. Indoor features include yellow wood and oregon pine timber floors, fire places, and high ceilings which all create lovely spaces to work with.

A combination of indigenous vegetation, fruit and nut trees compliment the garden landscape. Walking beyond, around the main house there are lovely pockets to explore; a grove of established guavas, a young fruit orchid, a hillside with gums to set out on a steep daily walk, many a treehouse site, the placement of owl boxes or beehives. River access is across the road where there is space to create your own bird-hide or a wonderful spot for lazy Sunday relaxing.

This prime smallholding, with a main house, cottage, garages and workshop is truly rarely found in the area. This turn-key property has much to offer is dynamic and will provide a perfect home.

There is space to establish large vegetable gardens and add to the fruit trees. Ample water is available. The property would easily suit a young family, empty nesters, retirees wanting the freedom of countryside living or a family holiday-home to retreat to from city-life.

There is a community of fellow lifestyle property owners, farmers, artists and business owners who reside permanently in the area - the best of both worlds, privacy yet not isolation.
