A Historic Masterpiece: The 1866 Pastorie

Rarely does a property of such historical significance and timeless beauty become available. Built in 1866 as the original pastorie, this magnificent double-story home stands as a proud sentinel with sweeping views of the picturesque rural town. As a National Monument, it is treasured for its unique stoep roof and handmade staircase, with all its original wooden features meticulously restored to their former glory.

Step inside to discover a world of grandeur. The home features enormous, rooms with soaring ceilings and wooden floors throughout. Vintage charm abounds with eight original fireplaces and 20 elegant sash windows, each one telling a story of a bygone era. The light and airy kitchen provides a perfect contrast, with its french doors opening onto a peaceful under cover patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
