Set amongst rolling hills and canola fields in the fertile Van der Stel Pass valley just outside Villiersdorp and en route to Bot River, this charming smallholding is an unspoiled country gem.
Offering spectacular mountain views, the recently refurbished and upgraded property comprises a stately main homestead overlooking the paddocks stretching alongside the river, a farm dam, small olive grove, a 2-bedroom cottage and various outbuildings including 2 garages and a flatlet.
The main house is of grand proportions with yesteryear’s charm captured in the Oregon finishes, sash windows, high ceilings and lead-glass detail complemented by ornate metal balustrades and bold chandeliers. The master suite is downstairs with a full en suite bathroom including double vanity whilst the imposing solid wooden staircase leads to the 2 loft bedrooms and 2nd full bathroom. The formal lounge and dining area are open plan to the rustic, fully fitted country kitchen with a separate scullery laundry area. A large study with an adjacent enclosed verandah and separate entrance complete the lower level.
The main house has a pool and charming entertainment area with access to the fully enclosed front verandah whilst the cottage, built above the garages and flatlet, enjoy the capturing mountain and valley views from a large deck leading from the lounge.
With plenty water for both domestic and irrigation use, a good infrastructure, arable land and positioned about an hour’s drive from Cape Town, this property is a rare find and an ideal country retreat as a permanent home or an escape from the city bustle.
