2 Bedroom House For Sale in Hopefield

Property description

You'll instantly fall in love with this quirky and unusual homestead situated in a very desirable location within walking distance of the local amenities. This rather special property can best be described as a "Garden Farm" or " Market Garden" which essentially is a small-scale agricultural operation that uses intensive, manual gardening techniques to grow a wide variety of fresh produce, such as fruit and vegetables for sale directly to consumers.
The current owner lovingly built her sanctuary literally from the ground up using original clay bricks and locally sourced building materials creating a peaceful retreat in harmony with its natural habitat. My favourite place would be the expansive under-cover verandah that stretches the entire length of the house, relaxing in a recliner, favourite novel in hand and staring out across the sprawling landscape bursting with colour.
Imagine medicinal plants, Fynbos, silver, apple and pear trees and a wide variety of indigenous plants and flowers under irrigation from 5 x 25,000 litre and 3 x 15,000 litre gravity fed JoJo tanks keeping the garden in pristine condition all year round.
A large variety of bird species including owls, herons and weavers build their nests creating a unique eco-system on your doorstep-Mother Nature at play.
A fully functional 5KvA Solar system is in place ensuring an off the grid lifestyle.
The property is conveniently divided into 3 individual portions yet connects harmoniously creating a cohesive unit offering a peaceful atmosphere.
MAIN HOUSE
Perched at the highest point with distant views of the river, sporting 2 larger than normal bedrooms, both conveniently leading out onto the verandah each with its own tastefully designed en-suite including a shower, basin and toilet. A massive open plan lounge, dining room, kitchen and study, also providing access to the "stoep" as well as a peaceful courtyard retreat leads to a tool shed and toilet round the back. Next to the kitchen is a practical work area with a large window that opens up towards the courtyard, as well as a scullery and laundry providing ample connections for ones appliances. The solar system is also housed here. A single carport can be found next to the house with no shortage of additional parking on the premises.
THE GARDEN
Sustainability and intentional Permaculture as described previously.
CONVERTED BARN
As you enter the property you will find the converted barn at the bottom of the yard, conveniently positioned away from the main house ensuring privacy. You are welcomed by a spacious interior serving as an open plan lounge and dining room. To your immediate left is a large kitchen and scullery with a serving hatch. To your right, overlooking the river, is a lovely bedroom with a barn door and dressing room. A bathroom completes the picture. Rental income for the barn can realistically fetch around R 8,000 per month.
A strong sense of community spirit and old fashioned neighbourliness is what one will experience in the area. A variety of festivals, arts and craft markets and the annual Hopefield Agricultural show attracts visitors and tourists from far and wide.
