1.8 ha Smallholding in Stellenbosch Agricultural
Own Your Own Piece of Paradise Outside Stellenbosch
Exclusive Sole Mandate.
Welcome to this charming English cottage-style home, exuding classic charm reminiscent of a bygone era. Nestled in picturesque Bonniemile, surrounded by serene, age-old oak trees, this property is arguably in one of the most desirable locations outside of Stellenbosch.
This home embodies beauty, peace, and tranquillity, offering a welcoming haven - a place for children to play beneath ancient oak trees and for adults to enjoy the abundance of nature. While it can become an equestrian''s dream home, it''s equally suited to families with children, gardening enthusiasts, or anyone seeking privacy and ample lifestyle space in nature.
The delightful classic main house is homely, cozy, and inviting, with views from every room overlooking the magnificent country garden and shady trees. The garden is a haven for thriving birdlife and features an oak tree dating back to the days of Simon van der Stel, as the old road between Cape Town and Stellenbosch ran past this property.
Main House:
The main house is converted into three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen, and dining room. The separate main bedroom is en-suite. The living room features stack-away doors that open completely onto the outside patio with a braai area, the magnificent garden with its rolling lawns, age-old trees, and endless views.
There are two separate living quarters. One is attached and the other one is located right next to the main house. The attached flatlet can easily be re-incorporated into an enlarged main house.
Hidden away in the garden is a private swimming pool. Additionally, there''s a double garage, a storage room, and a partial stable/shed.
Garden Cottage:
There''s a lovely, private, and partially renovated garden cottage with one bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen/dining/sitting room. It is located close to the entrance of the smallholding with its own garden and a smaller paddock next to it. This is the perfect property to either use for guests, older children, or parents, or to rent out for an additional income.
Water and Electricity:
The property boasts an irrigation system connected to the Wynland agricultural water allocation scheme, providing ample water to the paddocks and garden at a fraction of the cost of municipal water. Household water is supplied by the municipality, and power is from Eskom.
Paddocks:
The property currently features two large paddocks and a smaller one next to the garden cottage. The smallholding offers ample space for children to roam free and enjoy hours of horse riding, soccer, cricket, swimming, or biking.
Location:
The location is within a short distance of some of the most sought-after wine estates, Stellenbosch town with its plethora of restaurants and the Stellenbosch University and schools. Cape Town International Airport is only a mere 30-minute drive away.
The smallholding is located in a cul de sac and shares the connecting road running past the entrance gate with only 6 other smallholding owners.
Appointments:
Appointments to view this exceptional property, for pre-qualified clients, can be arranged with Anna. It is preferable to allow at least 48 hours notice for such an appointment.
A very helpful and fully immersive 3D model will provide you with an excellent virtual impression of the main house before viewing it in person.
