Die Handelshuis This iconic landmark property, situated at the beginning of historic Queen Street, the original main street of the village, was for many years the dorps Trading Store hence, Die Handelshuis. Built in the early 1860’s it has been lovingly restored over the years. From supplying all the dorps needs including the cement for the Nelsrivier dam, to being most recently, a well-known tourist attraction as restaurant, coffee & gift shop. Currently the 132 m2 retail space with its wood burning stove and many original features, is rented out as a gallery. The rest of the home consists of a generous main bedroom ensuite with original fireplace, a walk in wardrobe, and doors which open up onto the wrap around veranda, an upstairs loft ensuite bedroom, a large open plan living and kitchen area, as well as a light and airy studio/study with French doors opening onto a peaceful side garden, bordered by the lei water sloot. Two, spacious newly renovated income generating self-catering apartments adjoin the building. The living areas of the property centre around a lovely well-tended garden courtyard, with a built in braai, overhung by a beautiful old pepper tree and a veranda, ideal for outdoor entertaining on those balmy, magical Karoo evenings. With its 3.7 m high wooden ceilings and original wooden floors throughout and its cellars (currently storage and workshop) and huge loft areas, it has enormous potential to expand its rental or living accommodation. The property is very secure, and has undercover, as well as open parking, all behind a motorised gate. If it’s always been your dream to get away from the madness of city living and live in a small, quirky, beautiful village in the Klein Karoo, then this is the one for you, you could just move in and start earning.
