A BEAUTIFUL FARM WITH SO MUCH TO OFFER, IN THE HEART OF PETRUS STROOM
This truly beautiful 22 ha farm deep in the heart of the Petrus Stroom area is just waiting to be called home. The local district road runs through it and splits the property in two, making it uniquely suited to housing two families an accommodation destination on one side. In fact, with the many structural options available on this farm, the choices are rather endless. It has a newly built Main home which is a 3-bedroom double story. The old homestead is 4 bedroom, single story home and then there are two self functioning cottages (one having an open plan lounge bedroom area and one having a separated bedroom). There are also various storerooms, workshop areas and staff accommodation options.
All dwellings are North facing and fixed with solar panels and gas heaters, except the Main home that has electric geyser. This makes for 75% off the grid living which always comes in handy in a farm environment that is supplied by Eskom power.
The property contains 4 natural springs and a borehole that feed various water tanks and a few dams on the property and the natural incline on which the property is built provides breathtaking views throughout.
The land is good for various forms of farming with little to no frost in winter, although winters are very cold and often bring snow. Neighboring farms are producing King Proteas; breeding cattle or sheep or hosting well established accommodation businesses. There are a few acres of gum trees already growing on the property and Pine would also grow well in this area.
There are a few security beams throughout the homesteads on the property but the current owners have not had the need for further security systems in their 6 year stay on the property.
Gardens throughout the property are also beautifully put together and very well maintained.
The old Homestead is situated on the bigger piece of land and is built in the older thatched farmhouse style. The house has a centralized large kitchen (with lots of cupboard space and scullery/pantry area) opening up on a circular, open plan lounge dining room area which has a fireplace and beautiful steeped thatch ceiling and wrought iron chandelier. The right of the house runs off into an open area which can be used as a study, a bedroom with en-suite (bath, toilet, bidet) and another room which can be either used as a separate den/lounge/play area/study with fireplace and electric wall panel heater. To the left of the dining/lounge area, the house has a small passage with guest toilet followed by a rather large room with built in cupboard and en-suite bathroom (bath, shower, toilet). Also, attached to the house on this side, but with its own patio entrance, is an en-suite guest room with lowered bath, shower and toilet.
The entire north facing side of the homestead has a covered deck and veranda area which overlooks the beautiful valley below, with an open deck section that could easily house a swimming pool.
Leading off from this open deck area are two single cottages. Both have covered patio/Braai area, kitchenette, lounge, fireplace, bathroom and 1 bedroom. One is open plan bedroom lounge area and the other is a closed off bedroom. These can easily be rented out or used as accommodation options for visiting guests.
The new farmhouse was built about 8 years ago. It is a double story modern farmhouse with 3 en-suite bedrooms (all bath, shower and toilet). The ground floor has a spacious, open plan lounge (with fireplace), dining room, kitchen area with a guest toilet running off to one side and once again a gorgeous veranda that runs the entire length of the building. This veranda has a retractable awning to still allow the enjoyment thereof in bad weather.
Upstairs there are three spacious en-suite bedrooms with built in cupboards.
In summary, this property is a place that helps you breathe and just feels like home with all the opportunities you need it to have to be able to provide a good living.
