Fully Off Grid Family Home with Granny Cottage in Howick North

This well maintained and recently upgraded 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in Howick North offers a comfortable, practical lifestyle with the added benefit of full off grid living.

The house is completely energy independent, running on a solar system with battery backup, as well as a second solar setup for extra reliability. Water is well covered too, with ten storage tanks in place, while a municipal connection is still available for drinking water if needed.

Inside, the home is warm and functional. The main living area features a closed combustion fireplace, with additional gas heating in the dining room. The main bedroom and study are fitted with air conditioning for the warmer months. A recently installed Rayburn AGA stove less than a year old not only works as a cooker but also heats the home through multiple radiators.

The kitchen is fully fitted with granite tops, a new double sink, pantry, and separate scullery. Doors open out onto a back patio, making it an easy space for everyday living or entertaining.

There is also a separate granny flat, privately positioned on the property, which works well for extended family, guests, or even a home office setup. A wooden wendy house nearby provides additional storage.

One of the more unique features is the shipping container, currently set up as a small bakery. It includes stainless steel countertops, a proofing oven, and a gas oven, and everything is included in the sale. It could just as easily be used for a home business, hobby space, or converted into an entertainment area.

The garden wraps around the home and has a raised carport that provides enough height for a caravan or larger vehicle.

Recent updates include roof work on the main house and a new roof on the cottage, along with updated gutters and fascias, so the property is in good condition overall.

Set in a quiet part of Howick North, this is a solid, practical home with plenty of flexibility and the added advantage of being fully off grid.
