The road to the property runs along the Monaghan Farm boundary, then winds uphill unto it opens out onto a circular drive, surrounded by 4 beautiful stone buildings. Loving created by the original owner, and built by hand, these stone buildings are beautiful, filled with wooden fittings and ceilings, and wrought iron. The first building from the central forecourt is the main house. The entrance hall, with guest cloakroom, has stairs down into the lounge, which has two areas and features a country fireplace, leading onto a large enclosed patio with views. The spacious dining area looks down onto the lounge, creating a double volume entertainment space. There is a large kitchen with solid wooden cabinets and a large breakfast area across from the dining area. Along the passage are a family room, then a bedroom on two levels with vaulted ceiling and a door to the patio. Next is a really unusual split level master suite with a dressing area, sewing nook, large double aspect bedroom with stars leading up to a rumpus room and stairs leading down to a further bedroom. A full bathroom completes this magnificent suite. The manicured lawns lead to a large infinity pool with views to the horizon. Off the central forecourt is another magnificent stone building with three garages and a spacious cottage. The cottage has a bedroom area, mezzanine area, ideal for a dining room or study, a kitchen, full bathroom and a very large lounge-dining area with wood burning stove. The lounge opens onto a large patio/balcony with stunning views. The next building has 3 self-contained 'cottages' or guest suites, each with kitchen, lounge/dining room, bedroom, bathroom and upstairs space for a further sleeping area. One is beautifully finished, the other two just need a little work. On the roof of this building are the solar panels which provide off-grid power to the entire property. Next to the guest block is a large garage/workshop with a high sliding door. Finally, across the forecourt is a charming 'braai house' with covered space to sit and entertain, a wood store, storage area, and the braai area, including a spit braai. The property has river frontage on two sides but this aspect has never been developed. This is one of those properties that are so very difficult to put a price to. There are so many unique features, amazing views, river on two sides. What is certain is that the asking price is way below replacement value. Come and tell us what you think it's worth!
