2 Bed House in Prince Albert

Karoo romance, spirit and sublime beauty in Prince Albert. This superlative property, known as Karusa has two utterly charming dwellings known as Akedis (Lizard) and Doringboom (Thorn tree). Akedis and the 4759m2 of indigenous Karoo land on which it stands dates back to 1856, and Doringboom although a more recent build, was built on the site of one of the original reservoirs on the property.

Akedis has interleading living and dining rooms, a wonderful farm style kitchen, and two elegant and luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, both of which are en suite. This dwelling is characterized by its incredible brakdak reed and poplar beam ceilings, gleaming screed floors, and quirky original timber windows. An undercover patio on the north side of the house is a wonderful place to relax and take in the peace and solitude of this iconic property.

Whilst a newer dwelling, Doringboom is an authentic reflection of Akedis. This home has wonderful open plan living and entertainment areas serviced by an open plan superbly functional kitchen. The bedroom is more than generous in proportion, and the en suite bathroom is enormous and very stylish and well appointed. As with Akedis, this home is characterized by reed and beam ceilings and gleaming screed floors. Both homes have the prerequisite fireplaces for winter and air conditioners for summer.

A converted reservoir serves as a cooling plunge pool which is filled from the property''s authentic wind pump. A small standalone building, resembling a chapel, is a calming space for meditation or quiet repose.

Exceptional in every way!
