Exclusive Sole Mandate - Some homes impress, and some homes capture your heart. This enchanting property belongs firmly in the latter category. Here, you don't fall in love with square metres, you fall in love with the feeling you get when you imagine yourself living there. This property is one of the rare places that quietly steals your heart from the moment you arrive.
Nestled alongside the tranquil Keisie River, in one of Montagu West's most sought-after settings, this exceptional and lovingly maintained property embodies everything that makes this quarter of Montagu so special. Whitewashed cottages, vine-covered pergolas, ancient trees, mountain views and beautifully crafted stone patios combine to create a setting that feels wonderfully secluded and almost romantic.
Comprising two charming cottages, this property offers versatility as a private residence with guest accommodation, or an idyllic holiday home.
The Main Cottage
Beautifully maintained to preserve its authentic character, the main cottage is warm, welcoming and full of atmosphere.
The open-plan lounge and dining room form the heart of the home, where natural light filters through wooden shutters onto original leiklip floors. Exposed timber beams, reed ceilings and a traditional fireplace create an inviting space that is both elegant and comfortable. Beautiful wooden doors open onto the vine-covered patio, connecting the interior with the peaceful garden, the sparkling swimming pool, and the mountains beyond.
The newly renovated kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, a gas hob, electric stove, and a compact built-in dishwasher, blending modern convenience with timeless charm.
The bedroom offers built-in cupboards and opens directly onto the patio, allowing you to wake each morning to the sights and sounds of the garden.
The Guest Cottage
Equally characterful, the separate guest cottage provides complete privacy for family, friends or visiting guests.
The upstairs loft bedroom creates a peaceful retreat beneath the pitched roof, while downstairs offers a lounge and dining room with a traditional fireplace, a kitchen and bathroom. Wooden shutters and authentic finishes continue the heritage character throughout. Its front door opens onto a stone patio overlooking the beautifully established garden.
A sparkling swimming pool with timber decking is surrounded by mature gardens and shaded by vine-covered pergolas, creating the perfect setting for long summer afternoons. An outdoor braai area invites relaxed entertaining beneath the stars, while the magnificent old tree standing proudly between the two cottages provides beauty, shade and a sense of permanence that only nature can create.
The gentle sounds of the nearby river, together with mountain views, complete this extraordinary fairy-tale setting.
Completing this offering are a single garage, carport, and air conditioning in the guest cottage's upstairs bedroom.
Opportunities to own a property of this character and authenticity are exceptionally rare. Rich in history, surrounded by natural beauty, this stunning property offers an unforgettable Montagu lifestyle.
