Set on 1.8 hectares in a quiet and peaceful part of Hogsback, this charming property offers a rare combination of comfort, character, income potential and mountain living. Surrounded by established gardens, pathways, trees and beautiful views, it is the kind of place that immediately feels like home.
The property consists of a timber main house, a separate free-standing cottage, additional utility buildings and terraced gardens that make full use of the natural landscape. The property enjoys plenty of sunlight throughout the day, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
The main timber home is undoubtedly the heart of the property. Timber finishes flow throughout the walls, floors and ceilings, creating a warm and inviting environment that feels perfectly suited to Hogsback's forest setting. There is a sense of peace here that makes it easy to leave the outside world behind and simply enjoy the comfort of home.
Natural light pours through the home's uniquely positioned windows, creating a gentle glow throughout the living spaces. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming and full of character.
The upper section of the home offers two bedrooms, including a spacious main en suite bedroom with a walk-in cupboard and an antique fireplace that adds both charm and warmth. There is also a small loft bedroom and additional loft storage space. The kitchen is spacious and practical, complemented by a separate pantry and scullery.
The large lounge with fireplace forms the heart of the home and opens onto a generous deck with far-reaching views across the forests and mountains. It is the perfect place to enjoy the changing seasons, from misty mornings to colourful sunsets.
The lower section of the home has its own private entrance and consists of a large open-plan living area with kitchen facilities and two bathrooms, making it ideal for guest accommodation, long-term rental opportunities or extended family living.
The separate cottage offers two bedrooms, a lounge with fireplace, kitchen and a beautiful bathroom with bathtub. Complete with its own enclosed garden and verandah, it provides a comfortable and private space while still enjoying lovely views of the surrounding landscape.
Additional improvements include a laundry room, storeroom, large storage shed, covered parking beneath the main home and additional driveway parking.
The property is connected to municipal water and electricity while also benefiting from multiple water tanks and two large reservoirs, ensuring excellent water security throughout the year.
One of the property's standout features is its exceptional internet connectivity. Reliable high-speed WiFi has become essential for modern living, remote work and online business, and this property offers a level of connectivity that is rarely found in mountain properties.
Currently utilised as holiday accommodation, the property offers excellent flexibility from an investment perspective. The main home and cottage can continue operating as holiday rentals, be rented on a long-term basis or be enjoyed as a private residence while generating additional income from one of the dwellings.
More than anything, however, this is a property with heart. From the warmth of the timber interiors and welcoming fireplaces to the peaceful gardens and mountain views, it is a place that offers comfort, privacy and a genuine connection to nature.
At an asking price of R2.3 million, this property offers far more than just buildings and land. It offers a peaceful way of life, a welcoming home filled with character and warmth, and the opportunity to enjoy all that Hogsback's natural surroundings have to offer.
