Property
A two kilometre long, tree bordered track, winds its way from the main road along the banks of a mountain stream to the entrance driveway of the property. The main house is built on two levels. On the top level there are two self-contained apartments with private entrances as well as two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms all of which are accessed by a staircase to the ground floor. Double wooden doors on the lower level open into a large open-plan area comprising a living-room with a fireplace and a dining area adjoined by a spacious, fitted country kitchen. Just off the living-room there is a guest toilet. The pool and sunbathing area are tucked away in a suntrap close to the house.The ambience of the interior space, enhanced by wooden ceiling beams and terracotta tiled floors, is one of rural comfort and cosiness. On the hillside below the main house there is a wooden "cottage" used by the owner while the construction of the main house was in progress. It has a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen as well as a sitting/dining-room opening onto a veranda. Nearby, a wide flight of steps in natural stone, takes you down to the stream which flows through the land and on down the valley. Apart from an abundance of fruit from the trees, a very fertile vegetable garden provides the owner´s kitchen with a bounteous supply of produce.
