A HOME WITH OPPORTUNITY
What makes this property particularly special is the combination of lifestyle and practicality.
You can enjoy the main home and country surroundings while using the flatlet and cottage for family accommodation, guests or potential rental income. The solar installation and borehole add further independence, while the stables and spacious grounds allow you to embrace the lifestyle that makes Homestead Apple Orchards so appealing.
It is a property that can adapt as your family's needs change — from raising children and accommodating parents to creating additional income or simply enjoying more space, privacy and freedom.
WHY HOMESTEAD APPLE ORCHARDS?
There is something special about living in the country.
It is the space to breathe, the quiet mornings, the open skies, the freedom for children to play outside, the opportunity to keep animals and the ability to enjoy your home without feeling surrounded by the congestion of the city.
Homestead Apple Orchards offers that lifestyle while still providing convenient access to the greater Walkerville and Johannesburg South areas.
And properties that combine a substantial family home, two additional dwellings, swimming pool, stables, borehole and an extensive solar installation are not often available.
