This picturesque 5ha small holding is situated above the famous Bailden Waterfall along the Mzintlava River... where swimming and tubing is still a treat, and you can fall asleep listening to the music of the falls. It is an historic place that holds such special memories for generations from East Griqualand and is now ready to make new memories.
There is so much opportunity to turn this beautifully located property into a profitable business. It lends itself so perfectly to a Boutique Hotel for a Zen or Farm experience or a gorgeous Wedding Venue with a backdrop that needs no decor or props.
The property consists of:
1) The main house has been renovated into a magnificent open plan modern farm-style home consisting of 2 main bedrooms downstairs with en suite bathrooms and 2 loft bedrooms upstairs. The house has been so well thought out and designed, to really take in the views of the waterfall, river and surrounding mountains. There is an awesome outside patio with wooden deck overlooking the waterfall to entertain guests, and a large stack back kitchen window that opens the kitchen out onto a beautiful back courtyard with braai facility, vegetable garden and a water feature - perfect for breakfast and lunch servings. The kitchen is state of the art and has both electricity and gas options. The main living area is open plan with an Amesti fireplace that warms up the whole space in the chilly winter evenings and high ceilings and foldout doors that cools the whole space in the hot African summers.
2) Outside Guest cottage
3) Staff Quarters
4) Large festive pub with seating areas, beautiful open lawn/garden to house a marquee tent and a separate ablution block
5) Storeroom that could be converted into 2 x single accommodation units
6) Access to 3 x large family rondavels with kitchenette and bathroom
The property has space for parking or to build further. There is an abundance of water from the river and a borehole that is pumped into JoJo tanks to service the buildings and the waterfall could generate hydro-electricity for an adventurous owner who wants to get off the grid.
The property is perfectly situated approx. 20 Km from Kokstad, an hour from Underberg and 1.5hrs from the South Coast.
