22 ha Smallholding in Dargle
Solitude alone but never lonely. This stunning Retreat is cherished by so many for its tranquil beauty throughout all seasons, especially in the Autumn. The property is 22ha of which 2/3 is virgin grasslands and encompasses a unique biodiversity of birds and wildlife. The starry nights- devoid of light pollution- are beloved of astronomers and photographers alike!
The main doubled storied home consists of 4 bedrooms 3 downstairs one of which has a full bathroom ensuite and 1 large fully carpeted upstairs bedroom with beautiful, elevated views over the pool and the whole valley. The Oregon pine flooring in the cozy sitting room and bedrooms add to main home which was faithfully built in the Bavarian style by a master craftsman.
3 fully furnished and equipped cottages are situated around the stream and dam. These consist of a 2 bed/2bath a 3 bed/2bath and a 3 bed/1bath with aircon and fireplaces perfect for a family reunion or rented separately as they have separate entrances. The main cottage enjoys a long open verandah and dining table to match. You are welcome to the name of the Retreat and may take over the accommodation web platforms for continuity. The approved plans for a 4 th cottage are included.
The road to Solitude is regularly graded and as there is no thoroughfare it is extremely safe supported by wonderful neighbours. It is just 20mins from Howick and the same from Hilton Life Hospital. Mountain biking, hiking and fishing in the bass filled dam are some of the activities to pursue on this pristine 22-hectare pearl of nature. The unfenced open grasslands and forests is encouraged to ensure the free movement of game such as various antelope, caracal, jackals throughout the Dargle conservancy.
