South-East, Gaborone, Botswana

Set on the side of a kopje facing into Mokolodi Nature Reserve this is a truly one-of-a-kind home with spectacular views of Mokolodi, Notwane and beyond. Built by the Owner this home is built of local rock and thatched. This “off the Grid” home Is a testament to the Seller’s unique capabilities in that it is remarkably well built and has weathered the decades. A half an hour’s drive from civilization this home is not one for someone wanting to pop to the shops. However, it was built with guests and entertaining in mind.

The property is 1 Hectare but has a 100m “comfort zone” located within the Mokolodi Nature Reserve.

The main house is very spacious, an open-plan living, dining and kitchen is cool in the summer heat due to the thatch and a thatched verandah attached. There is only one main bedroom in the house which is en-suite with a spacious dressing area and office attached. It also has a loft that was a sewing room. Both the living area and the bedroom have fireplaces for the winter. A secure outside verandah for early morning tea or a nightcap before bed.

Guests are accommodated in two separate cottages. The first cottage has everything you need for guests to feel at home, a self-contained bedroom, loft, and bathroom. The second building that houses the triple garage has a guest bedroom on the one side of the building and staff accommodation on the other side as well as a second storey which has a large lounge/office area that has multi functional use. An outside bathroom with a view is a feature that guests would enjoy. A separate outdoors thatched “Gym area” is an added attraction.

There are four carports, a staff quarters, generator room, external kitchen, and storeroom! That's quite a package. This property although several decades old has been well built and maintained.

This property is an excellent example of “off-grid” before it became fashionable. The Owner installed both solar and wind powered electricity. Gas Fridges and Stove/Oven. Battery backup for night and cloudy weather. The property has a good borehole and the garden is waterwise. The house is surrounded by electric fence to keep the Rhino out. Klipspringers are regular visitors to the property and Giraffe, Kudu, Impala and Warthog are some of the game one can view on the way to the home.

This is a truly unique property and is being sold Furnished.
