A Riverfront Sanctuary Offering Idyllic Country Living
SOLE MANDATE: Bordering the Umgeni River and comprising just over 25 Ha, this remarkable Dargle Valley property offers exceptional natural beauty with rolling ridgelines that frame panoramic views stretching as far as the eye can see. Included is an enclave of residential offerings providing the ultimate sanctuary for discerning buyers seeking space, serenity, and seclusion.
Accommodation is in the form of a three-bedroom main homestead plus two separate self-sufficient bedroom cottages, one holding three bedrooms and the other a single bedroom, all en suite, positioned around a large pool with a beautiful adjoining pool house.

The open plan kitchen intelligently designated by a large striking wooden kitchen dresser creates a dramatic focal point plus there is also a large separate scullery area.
