KwaZulu-Natal, Howick, South Africa

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Caversham, this delightful smallholding is a true country gem, offering space, tranquility, and endless lifestyle possibilities. Set on almost 3.4 hectares of gently rolling fields that lead all the way down to the picturesque Lions River, this property boasts rare river frontage and valuable water rights, making it ideal for small-scale farming or as a lifestyle property.

The charming thatch home radiates warmth and character from the moment you step inside. The inviting lounge, complete with a cosy fireplace, is the perfect retreat on chilly winter evenings, while the separate dining room with its own fireplace sets the scene for family meals or festive gatherings with friends. The quaint, functional kitchen adds to the home’s country charm, and a study offers a quiet nook for hobbies or working from home.

The home has three bedrooms: the main bedroom enjoys its own en-suite with shower, toilet, and basin. A second bathroom with bath, toilet, and basin serves the downstairs guest bedroom and the third loft bedroom, making it a practical and family-friendly layout.

Beyond the home, a cluster of outbuildings adds potential and charm. While they need TLC, they include an old disused dairy and a storage room offering the opportunity to be transformed – whether as a cosy cottage for family and friends, stables or a versatile space that could generate additional income.

The land is mostly flat, with approximately 2–2.5 hectares suitable for vegetables thanks to the available irrigation. Alternatively, the space is perfect for horses, livestock, or simply enjoying your own stretch of open countryside.

Spend lazy afternoons picnicking by the river, casting a line, or simply soaking up the serenity of your own private stretch of riverbank – a true escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Peaceful and private, yet conveniently close to Howick for schools, shopping, and medical needs, this smallholding offers the perfect balance of country escape and everyday convenience.

Opportunities like this – with river frontage, water rights, and so much untapped potential – are rare in this sought-after area. Don’t miss your chance to turn this hidden gem into the lifestyle property of your dreams.
