CHARMING VICTORIAN HOUSE WITH LEAFY INDIGENOUS GARDEN FOR SALE IN PIKETBERG

This long time artists' residence set in a paradise of green with mountain views all round, evokes a dream lifestyle retreat, retirement or family home in the countryside.

The well-established garden on a bountiful double erf boasts indigenous trees and a typical Karoo-style reservoir pool under a fever tree.  This luscious waterwise garden is just waiting to be fine tuned by green fingers.  Needless to say birdsong abounds and the mountain views to back and front are to die for. 

Exquisitely restored oregan floors and high painted wooden ceilings throughout, the lounge is a particularly outsized living space centred around a quaint Queen Anne fireplace.  To the side is a wooden staircase that takes you up to the attic which has two scandinavian skylight windows and a bay window in place.  With further vision for an extension project in the loft the size of the house could be doubled. 

There is a charming serving hole toward the kitchen in die corridor which also leads off to 4 spacious bedrooms.  The sash windows all have original shutters for lock-up-&-go convenience.  The very large bathroom has a Victorian style bath and rustic shower and leads to an outside patio area under an afdak for braaing and enjoying the views and garden.

The sizable farm-style kitchen with plenty of cupboard space is perfect for a centre island or table to have breakfast or for guests to relax while you entertain.  The front of the house has a full length afdak and stoep with some coloured glass details adding appeal. 

Piketberg is a quaint rural farming town with colourful artists and a Piket-bo-berg community (a scenic drive up the Versfeld Pass) to boot, within easy reach of three other small towns, all less than 20 minutes drive apart.  The street itself abounds with other historical buildings as it pivots around the original historical centre of the dorp built around its famous Cape Dutch Church.

Set on 2377 m2 grounds, make this your dream retirement/family home or "home away from home" lifestyle retreat.  Escape the city hussle, bustle and crime, to come and recharge in this divine Platteland rustic home with the lushest of leafy gardens, mountain views all round and a "plaasdam" to cool off in.  Imagine watching the sun rise and set, and relaxing on summer evenings surrounded by the peace and quiet of country living.
