Are you dreaming of a fresh start in the countryside with your family, possibly launching a guest house or self-catering business? Look no further – this is the property you have been waiting for. We present De Heidel, a unique and historic gem, well-known in the area. Previously operated as a successful guest house, the property is perfectly suited for continuing this tradition. The necessary permissions from the local Municipality are all that is needed to transform it back into a thriving guest house, as it is currently zoned "Residential.’ Though thoughtfully renovated by the current owner, De Heidel retains many of its original, charming features, making it ideal for lovers of classic architecture. Upon entering the main house, a lovely verandah welcomes you, leading into a spacious lounge that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. From here, step out onto a private, vine-covered patio – the perfect space to unwind and enjoy peaceful moments.
The heart of the home is its cozy, farm-style kitchen, featuring abundant cupboard space and work surfaces. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous entertainment area with a built-in braai, making it ideal for hosting traditional barbecues. The open-plan layout allows for seamless interaction with family and friends while preparing meals.
On the ground floor, you will find three large en-suite bedrooms, two of which open onto the private patio. A spacious, full en-suite bathroom is also located on this level. Upstairs, a beautiful wooden staircase leads to a cozy lounge or reading nook, and three additional spacious bedrooms. There is also a smaller room that could serve as a dressing room, nursery, or even a second bathroom.
BUT that is not all...
Adjacent to the main house is a charming cottage with its own private entrance, exuding a rustic farmhouse charm. The cottage features an open-plan lounge and dining area that flows into a modern kitchen, fully equipped with built-in oven and hob, as well as plenty of cupboard space. The ground floor also includes a full bathroom, a study, and a separate toilet. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer ample accommodation.
This cottage provides incredible flexibility – it could be subdivided and sold separately, serve as accommodation for you while you operate the main house as a guest house or self-catering business, or even be rented out long-term, as rental properties are in high demand in the area. It also includes its own prepaid electricity meter for added convenience. And of course, you can bring "ouma" and "oupa" along!
Outside, the property boasts a spacious garden that is fully fenced and pet-friendly, offering plenty of space for a double garage and carports. If you are inclined, there is ample space to start your own vegetable garden, with lei water available for irrigation.
De Heidel presents an extraordinary opportunity for those looking to start a new chapter in the countryside. Do not let this chance slip away – seize it with both hands.
