The Old Dairy Farm The opportunity exists to purchase a real piece of KZN Midlands heritage. Built in the 1830’s, the home has been renovated and the first thing that prospective purchasers will notice is how large the living spaces and bedrooms are. They don’t build them like this anymore. With modern amenities like solar panels and inverter system, you'll have the best of both - the old and the new. On arrival you’re greeted by a spacious lawn, birdsong and covered veranda, beautifully complimented by heritage roses that have been planted and trained to perfection. The current owners have spent a considerable amount of time and effort in creating a front garden that is a feast for the eyes with established trees, Roses, Gerberas and Cycads spotted throughout. Exposed stone walls on the outside are complimented by restoration on the high pressed ceilings inside and stunningly reconditioned Oregan Pine flooring. Stained glass windows and doors add to the charm of the home which at 400m2 is substantial and offers so much more than just a place to live. If the scullery is the size of the average large kitchen, the kitchen itself is voluminous with its massive centre table that stays with the property. The spacious main lounge has a modern fireplace to draw heat during the chilly midlands months and leads onto the master suit with bay window, walk-in closet and huge bathroom with freestanding Victorian tub. Established kikuyu paddocks, carefully separated watered camps running down to the permanent stream that feeds the Umgeni river and lovely Eragrostis lovegrass species grassland – ideal for grazing a small herd of cattle (currently leased to the neighbours for grazing) or if you have horses it’s a perfect setting. The original dairy farm for the area with remnants of the old stone structures and, reservoirs and a strong borehole, given its proximity to the Umgeni river, this utterly charming property is a must see for anyone considering a farm or smallholding in the famous Dargle valley of the evergreen KZN Midlands. Call me – Craig Millar, for an opportunity to acquire a truly original piece of the KZN Midlands in the very sought after Petrus-Stroom valley adjacent to Midmar Dam. Dare to dream.
