House For Sale in Heatherlands, George

Exceptional 5-Bedroom Family Home with Income-Generating Flatlet – Heatherlands, George

Set on a generous 1,356m2 stand in the sought-after, established suburb of Heatherlands, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of old-world charm, modern self-sufficiency, and genuine income potential.

The main house comprises four spacious bedrooms across two levels. Two bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, including a ground-floor bedroom with a walk-in closet, ideal for use as the main bedroom or for multi-generational living. Upstairs, two further bedrooms share a full bathroom, with a separate guest toilet conveniently located downstairs near the braai room. A generous study upstairs offers flexibility as a home office or second living area.

Living spaces are equally impressive, with multiple lounges spread over both levels, fireplaces in the kitchen, TV room, and main bedroom, and a dedicated entertainment area featuring a built-in braai and bar with stacking doors that open onto the pool and garden. The pool includes a pool net for safety and is complemented by a water fountain, while a further water feature enhances the established garden.

A standout feature of this property is the self-contained flatlet with its own private street entrance, currently operating as a successful guesthouse with an 85% average booking rate and can be ciewed on booking websites. Fully furnished (excluding two bar stools), this space presents a turnkey opportunity for continued short-term letting income, or ideal conversion into a private home-based consulting practice for professionals such as attorneys, medical practitioners, or psychologists.

The property is exceptionally well equipped for off-grid resilience, with a full backup power system comprising an 8kW Victron inverter, 16 solar panels, and two 5kW batteries, alongside four 150L geysers. Water security is addressed through three 5,000L and five 1,000L tanks, which also supply irrigation to the established lawn and gardens.

Security features include an alarm system linked to Optima armed response, beams around the property perimeter, motorised gates, and secure parking comprising three garages plus two additional off-street bays.

The level, fully fenced stand is both child- and pet-friendly, making this an ideal family home. Additional extras included in the sale are curtains and blinds throughout, bathroom mirrors, and potted plants at the pool and garage entrance. A Clivia greenhouse may remain by arrangement, and a custom-made dining room suite (table, buffet, and wall unit) is available for separate negotiation.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile, income-generating property in one of George`s most established and desirable neighbourhoods.
