1 Bedroom Garden Cottage in Darling

Live like a modern pioneer in this unique off-grid stone cottage with added panoramic views in Darling!!

This extraordinary 1-bedroom stone cottage is a rare gem, situated next to a nature reserve on an elevated 2137 m² erf, located on a hillside with breathtaking and unobsructed views of a beautifull valley and nearby local vineyards. This property boasts its own private dam, 7000 liters per hour borehole, automated irrigation system and a huge greenhouse fitted with aquaponic equipment, ready to start a sustainable and self-sufficient off-grid lifestyle blended with the already rustic and tranquil natural country life that Darling offers.

Approaching the house from the main gate you are immediately drawn by the handcrafted stone exterior of the house whilst you are welcomed by a large porch and a built-in braai for entertainment and enjoyment of endless panoramic sunsets. Entering the house, you are welcomed by a large lounge incorporating a dining area with high ceilings and a bio-fuel echo friendly ceramic fireplace, ideally for those cold winter nights. A set of stairs takes you to the next level which consist of a 1 bedroom en-suite with fully functional bathroom and the kitchen area with the backdoor leading to the outside of the enormous erf. A double garage, housing the solar inverter and charge controller, has a fully automated garage door. The garage is linked to the house and there is therefore direct access to the house.
