Positioned along the Midlands Meander just outside Howick, on a 5,4 hectare north facing property, this elegant boutique lodge encompasses a homestead that holds three suites plus there are 11 additional Guest rooms positioned around the main dwelling..
Offering a selection of accommodation choices that range from luxury suites, to a family cottage and standard bedrooms, this established business needs an energetic new buyer who would like to be part of a Tourist Route and carry on this establishment's well-deserved legacy.
The main homestead includes three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, with a spacious lounge area for guests. There is also a dining room, and a kitchen which was utilised to provide breakfasts for guests. The bedrooms are well appointed, and all have been
individually decorated. A large outdoor covered patio offers a tranquil area for guests to soak up views of the expansive gardens and surrounds.
The design of the surrounding cottages, all with en suite bedrooms, have individual patios that offer garden views. Additionally, there is an onsite managers cottage, as well as two rooms for domestic accommodation and a laundry room.
There is also a borehole on the property and 3 phase electricity.
This unique property has a rich history dating back to 1911 when it was built by the Lidgett family, who also gave their name to the surrounding area, Lidgetton. For six decades, until 1971, it remained in the hands of successive Lidgett family members. Afterward, it was transformed into a popular bed and breakfast, leveraging its excellent location. This history adds a unique charm and character to the property, reflecting its longstanding presence and significance in the community.
The location of this Lodge near the popular Piggly Wiggly, Caversham Mill, and The Railhouse Farmstall, provides easy access to a selection of surrounding restaurants, as well as other tourist hotspots some of which include canopy tours, golf courses, quaint country shopping outlets and of course beautiful scenery.
The large garden and surrounds have also been sought after for weddings and functions due to the on site accommodation.
Properties of this size in such close proximity to popular all year-round tourist attractions are seldom offered for sale. Lastingham offers a rare opportunity to acquire such a property especially given the fact that is equipped and can be fully-functional in a very short time. Selling price excludes VAT.
