KwaZulu-Natal, New Hanover, South Africa

Set beside the tranquil Sterkspruit River and its picturesque weir, this beautifully restored stone home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy authentic country living with a touch of history. Originally built as the area’s agricultural hall, the home has been tastefully reimagined into a warm, character-filled residence—blending old-world charm with modern comfort.

Recently freshly painted, the house welcomes you with an inviting open-plan living space. The close-combustion fireplace in the lounge is a standout feature—providing efficient warmth throughout the lounge, dining, and kitchen areas during those chilly winter months. Stunning wooden, curved double doors open onto a wraparound covered veranda, perfect for lazy afternoons or lively gatherings with friends.

Accommodation includes a spacious main bedroom with generous cupboard space and an en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom with a full en-suite, and a third versatile room ideal as a bedroom, home office or creative space. A guest loo is conveniently located at the end of the passage.

Step through a hand-crafted branch arch and discover the outdoor firepit—a magical setting for evening sundowners, storytelling, or stargazing under wide country skies. The home is also protected by an electric fence, ensuring a secure environment without compromising on the relaxed, rural feel.

Adding even more versatility to the property is a newly constructed steel structure—comprising two 30m² rooms and a 9m carport. Originally built for use as storage and office space, these can easily be adapted to suit your needs—be it a workshop, studio or office. This property is supplied with 3 phase electricity.

The home is surrounded by three adjoining erfs, offering a combined land size of just over 4 hectares. Mature pecan nut trees, lush grazing pastures, and wide-open views create an ideal environment for small-scale farming, hobby agriculture, or simply enjoying the peaceful, rural lifestyle.

All of this is located within walking distance of The Traveller’s Rest Hotel, a favourite local gathering spot, and just 35km from Pietermaritzburg—close enough for convenience, yet far enough to feel like a true escape.

If you’re longing for charm, space, and the freedom to live life your way—this remarkable countryside retreat is calling.
