Historical masterpiece, a one of a kind home!

*SOLE MANDATE* Steeped in history and utterly one-of-a-kind, this magnificent original English farmhouse is a true Kloof masterpiece, meticulously restored to preserve its timeless character while incorporating modern comforts. With original components brought over from England by ship, this remarkable home retains its original stained-glass windows, grand entrance door and beautiful colonial farmhouse charm. The wraparound veranda and balcony extend around the entire home, creating an exceptional outdoor living space that offers comfort and shelter in every season, enhanced by original-style carriage coach lights. Once a hunting lodge and farmhouse, the property forms part of Kloof’s rich heritage, when farmers rode on horseback into the gorge in pursuit of baboon and leopard. Set on an exceptionally large parcel of land—one of the last remaining properties of its kind in this sought-after part of Kloof—the estate is surrounded by professionally landscaped, park-like gardens and expansive rolling lawns. A magnificent Natal fig takes centre stage in the driveway, which has been thoughtfully designed to allow vehicles to circulate around the tree, with ample designated parking and two garages providing exceptional convenience when entertaining.

Inside, the grand entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with original stained glass and the character-filled front door opening onto the expansive wraparound veranda. The beautifully restored home offers four spacious bedrooms, including two with en-suite bathrooms, with the guest suite also offering the versatility of a private study. The main bedroom is particularly enchanting, featuring a glorious bay window with sash windows and a newly renovated, luxurious full bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms share another beautifully modernised family bathroom. The heart of the home is the designer kitchen, complemented by a double wood-burning fireplace that brings warmth and ambience to both the kitchen and adjoining casual lounge and breakfast nook. Outside, a heated salt-chlorinated pool is perfectly positioned beside a magnificent flat-crown tree, creating a private oasis overlooking breathtaking valley vistas and spectacular sunsets. Separate staff accommodation and a laundry are positioned away from the main residence and offer excellent potential for conversion into a flatlet, with sufficient additional land to create a further dwelling if desired. Practicality is seamlessly incorporated with inverter power and JoJo tanks, while the sheer scale, privacy, heritage and beauty of this extraordinary property make it a truly irreplaceable offering.
