Built in 1904 for the Malan family, then part of the Allesverloren wine Estate and owned by the Malan family until 2012, when it was sold and extensively renovated.
The house is very original with sensitive alterations that provide en suite bathrooms and a modern kitchen as well as an enormous upper level(+- 300m2) which is completely insulated and soundproofed and can be used as a studio, private offices or converted to accommodation. The present owner has also sensitively installed hand crafted purpose made functioning internal windows to provide for double glazing, whilst the original shutters offer both security and weather protection. The rooms are all extremely spacious with high wooden ceilings and wooden floors. There are beautiful Victorian fireplaces as well as a modern
Combustion stove in the main living area. A wrap around veranda provides a place to sit and relax and weather protection to the house. This beautiful building enjoys a regal position in a landscaped garden all watered from a strong borehole. The house is light, cool and well maintained. This is an extraordinary opportunity to own and enjoy an historically interesting and iconic building in the Western Cape. The whole is in the process of establishing new boundaries to provide 4730m2 of landscaped garden to this magnificent home.
