If you aspire to embrace the tranquility of a country lifestyle while maintaining convenient access to Port Alfred and the pristine beaches in close proximity, this property is poised to fulfil your desires. Situated a mere 23 kilometers from the town, and overlooking Forte D''Acre game farm, this distinguished farmhouse commands a panoramic vista, graced with distant sea views. The homestead is ensconced within a sprawling, well established garden adorned with large trees and shrubs, lending charm and providing a sheltered outdoor seating area. These large trees also serve as a protective shield against the coastal winds, extending their benevolent care to the more delicate flora in this enchanting garden. Amongst the lush greenery, a collection of cycads stands as a testament to nature''s beauty, nestled alongside other shrubs. As one approaches the front entrance, an imposing tree, surrounded by an elevated rockery filled with vibrant clivias, adorns the pat. Step across the threshold into the living room, graced by a large open fireplace clad in natural stone and you feel the homely character and the sense of genuine comfort. The lounge seamlessly flows into the dining room via attractive arches. Please note the metal work in these arches is not included in the sale. Throughout this abode, all floors are tiled, ensuring ease of maintenance and a pet friendly environment. Adjacent to the dining room, a separate, farm-style kitchen, resplendent in timber and granite finishes, is a haven for culinary enthusiasts. This well-appointed kitchen features a pantry, a double eye-level oven, and a gas hob. For those in need of a peaceful workspace, a discreet study is tucked away, accessible through the pantry. The study has a door leading outdoors, facilitating effortless access to the three garages, a workshop/storeroom, and servant''s room complete with its own shower and toilet facilities. Accommodation in this home comprises a master bedroom and full en suite bathroom, four family bedrooms and two more bathrooms. Set to one side of the front garden, is a dis-used outbuilding with large glass doors that could be adapted for additional accommodation, or a wonderful studio or craft room. This room is drenched in natural light.
The property benefits from an abundant supply of rainwater, stored in two tanks with a combined capacity of approximately 150,000 liters, ensuring a steady source of fresh water. Additional tanks have been strategically positioned to cater to the garden''s watering requirements. A borehole, equipped with a submersible pump, guarantees ample water supply for the entire property. This water is efficiently conveyed to a tank and then gravity fed to service the property. An inverter system and solar panels have been thoughtfully integrated, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and reducing reliance on conventional utilities. The property is capable of running off grid. In addition to the main residence, a short distance down the road leading to the main entrance off the R72 tar road, a charming two-bedroom cottage awaits, complete with a combined kitchen and sitting room, as well as a bathroom.
