64 ha Smallholding in Underberg

An Architectural Masterpiece, Off-Grid. We are thrilled to present a remarkable estate, located in the Southern Drakensberg on the banks of the ''Mzimkulu River (renowned in itself for trout fishing and the famous Drak. Challenge Canoe Race). The entire property is64ha in extent, on a north-facing hillside. A winding drive up the hillside presents the dramatic views to the Drakensberg and a myriad of wildflowers and shrubs. The property flanks both sides of the river too, extending and protecting ones view from potential neighbouring development. This estate is within easy reach of Underberg, yet is secluded and private.

Virtually on the high river bank, lies the architecturally-designed homestead, awarded the prestigious South African Institute of Architects Award of Merit (1993). Constructed with massive sandstone blocks and solid Malaysian teak finishes, no effort nor expense was spared in creating this meticulously designed dwelling, significant not only for its uniqueness and grandeur but also for its warmth and welcoming presence.

The spacious interiors are richly detailed with endless special features including solid wood finishes, huge windows and stack-away doors, providing all day enjoyment of the extraordinary views of the river.

The gardens and tall trees are park-like, landscaped and established to over 1500 indigenous trees. Excellent security features including electric fencing and roller shutter doors to entrances to the main house. A must-know is that the entire property issolar powered with a back-up generator when required. Water is sourced from a sparkling mountain stream rising on the hillside.

Additional buildings include guest cottage, garages / laundry / workshops 2 staff cottages stables. A private viewing by appointment, is encouraged to get full appreciation of this remarkable property.
