A loving family is sought to restore this beautiful home to its former glory continuing making history in the heart of the Assagay Valley, where time seemed to dance to the rhythms of nature, where the legacy of the Gevers family stood. Since the mid-1940s, their presence graced the land, from the rolling hills down to the quaint railway station and culminating in the cherished Heidi's Farm Stall. Their farm wasn't just a plot of land; it was a lifeline to the valley below, blessing it with the bounty of their harvest. The very road that wound through the valley, Gevers Road, stood as a testament to their dedication to their fellow farmers and the land they loved. In the 1970s, their dream took shape in the form of a home that embraced the essence of charm and elegance, nestled amidst
the breath-taking vistas of the Assagay Valley. As they watched their dream materialize, they resided in a humble cottage on their 3.5-acre property, patiently awaiting the completion of their sanctuary.
Their home, an embracing warmth and comfort, boasted 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a kitchen that seemed to beckon with the promise of culinary adventures. Every corner held the potential for creativity, from the tranquil study nestled in the main bedroom's enclosed veranda to the inviting loft, where dreams took flight amid the pages of cherished books. The lounge, with its lofty ceilings and crackling fireplace, whispered tales of evenings spent in quiet contemplation or lively gatherings filled with laughter. And just beyond, a 2-bedroom cottage stands as a testament to their generosity, offering a haven for extended family or a source of additional income. Close to Hillcrest, with its bustling hub of activity, and within reach of schools and roads leading to the vibrant city of Durban, their home was more than just a dwelling; it was a haven, a place where memories were woven into the very fabric of its walls. The Gevers family had not just built a home; they had carved out a slice of paradise amidst the rolling hills, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape and the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to call it home.
