Property Details

Lifestyle residential/business property in Monzi A country lifestyle and investment property to suit both the discerning homeowner, and the aspiring entrepreneur! This beautiful 4.7 ha property, nestled in extensive park-like gardens, in the country village of Monzi, is a must-see. Wrapped in both farming activity and wildlife parks, close to the bustling tourist town of St Lucia, a brilliant opportunity exists for both a lifestyle change and a business in property investment. This well-located property, with breath-taking views across the Umfolozi floodplains to the distant vegetated sand-dunes, is registered as residential/business. Nicely spaced out across the lawns, between the many trees, are: the main house, 2 other free-standing houses and 2 semi- detached houses. Add to these a shop/office building, 2 workshops, an 11-unit staff compound, a 6-bay tractor/boat/caravan storage facility and various other sheds. Apart from the main home, all these accommodation and business units are currently let out to tenants. For a prospective and entrepreneurial owner of this property, some of these facilities could also serve as functional business outlets. The U-shaped main house has 4 bedrooms, the master bedroom en suite with modern bath, shower, toilet and double basins. The main, and two large guest bedrooms are carpeted and have built-in cupboards while the fourth is tiled and could just as easily be an office/study room. All the bedrooms are individually air-conditioned. A second bathroom with shower, bath, basin and loo; as well as a another separate toilet, provide for the guests. Completing the spacious house are the large air-conditioned lounge, dining room, and farm-style kitchen with gas stove and electric oven, ceiling fans and a separate scullery room with a reverse osmosis water filter. Sheltered in the U of the house is the very inviting, and well-loved entertainment area. With access from the lounge and kitchen, and covered from above, there is space for dining, casual outdoor furniture, and recreational cooking. A jacuzzi on an attached wooden deck completes this wonderful space. In the garden is a guest room cottage with shower and toilet, as well as a double-sized office with storeroom, four covered garages (and one shade-cloth garage) and a standby generator. Not too distant are the sprawling wild lands of the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve, the renowned heritage site of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and the multitude of recreational businesses and facilities catering for tourism. Monzi village has a golf club and course, tennis and squash courts and a new private school. The homestead’s rolling lawns and abundant trees are host to a variety of indigenous birds, owls, and the occasional duiker. Not only is this property a viable investment opportunity, but truly a home for a family, and a lifestyle unequalled.
