Located in the heart of Oudtshoorn, this distinct property with its Cape Dutch exterior and traditional interior pulls at ones’ heartstrings because of its character and historic heritage.
With 520 square meters floor space it boasts roughly 11 different rooms which starts with an impressive lobby that welcomes you to the home and immediately takes you back in time. Branching out from the lobby the living quarters and flat to the one side and kitchen, dining room, lounges and enclosed stoep to the opposing side.
A flatlet with one bedroom, a shower, separate toilet, own entrance, open plan lounge, dining room and kitchenette attached to the house can be ideal for elderly parents. This area was previously utilised as a doctors’ office and can be used similarly again.
Three
exceptionally large bedrooms, all with their own ensuites, walk-in- and built in cupboards in the main house. A large bedroom with ensuite towards the back of the house but still attached, can be a useful space for a teen or student.
Bonusses are a separate laundry with another bedroom and ensuite which is perfect for live in staff and another space used as a catering kitchen with built in shelves and a pantry.
All the bedrooms have air conditioners and there are four working fire places throughout the home.
An informal dining area in the kitchen brings the family together during those days when all congregate while food is prepared and talk about their days.
As can be expected with a house of this calibre the garden is a lush oasis that captivates with its many diverse sections. From small, hedged shrubbery and cobbled walkways, large trees providing shade for various plants thriving beneath it, a children’s play area and symbolising many a child’s freedom and innocence, a rather upmarket treehouse.
At the heart of the outdoor space lies a refreshing swimming pool, perfect for a leisurely dip on warm days. Surrounding the pool is a huge undercover entertainment area, providing the perfect setting for gatherings with family and friends. A pizza oven, outside toilets, veggie garden and outside braai are some additions to perfect the lifestyle.
Wide undercover porches offer more spaces to lounge in. Undercover parking for at least 4 vehicles and safe off-street parking for at least three or four more.
Whilst Outeniqua Gables instils a sense of times that were, the modern features that offers convenience for today’s households have also been graciously incorporated. With a 5kVA solar system, solar geyser, alarm system, air-conditioning, modern bathrooms and outside entertainment area, one can blissfully live in this home and easily forget the outside world.
It’s beautiful, unique and it can be your haven.
