GRACIOUS HOME AND COTTAGE NESTLED IN THE BREATHTAKING SPLENDOUR OF UNTOUCHED FOREST
Web Ref.
RLS944015
JOINT MANDATE
Ashland Ridge is an exclusive gated estate in the Crags with spectacular views across immaculate forest valleys. It comprises a total of five homes set on the ridge of a 76-hectare property surrounded by pristine indigenous forest and is on the seaside of The Crags.
The location of this specific property with its Cape Dutch house and cottage is prime within the estate, as it is the very last one on the ridge, very private, and a mere 20 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Plettenberg Bay. Here you are only aware of the beauty of silence and the cheerful sound of birdlife .
The thatched Cape Dutch house comprises three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor. One of the bedrooms is en suite. The mezzanine level offers a children's room and a TV room split by a library. The walls were built 50cm deep to house the inward opening French doors and shutters sourced from a Constantia villa. The massive Burmese Teak door came out of the first trading store in Riversdale built in 1798.
Also on ground level is large open plan kitchen and dining area and a spacious living room with a cozy corner by the central fireplace. A separate pantry, laundry room and garage complete the downstairs living area. Above the garage is a study or office.
There is a delightful adjacent cottage, about a 100m from the house. It is tastefully renovated in its traditional Cape Dutch-style and bathed in sunlight throughout the day. The swing on the patio is pure delight. The cottage windows have retained their varnished look but the kitchen, bathroom and flooring are brand new. The mezzanine level of the cottage could either be another lounge/study area or a bedroom.
The very successful current rental income from the cottage covers most of the running costs for the property. Comment from one of the guests: The moment we saw this beautiful spot we wished we could have stayed longer! It's a little slice of paradise….
Between the house and the cottage is an inviting salt pool where you can enjoy long laps or simply relax whilst drinking in the beautiful view. Walks into the untouched indigenous forest with its abundant bird life is almost directly from the doorstep and wildlife viewing from the patio and garden is a must at sunset.
Lower down from the house is a delightful wooden deck where one can go all out and have a fabulous social gathering or simply relax, chill and become one with the surrounding forest experience.
Local wineries, Plett Polo Club and animal sanctuaries are just around the corner. A 15min drive takes you to Keurbooms beach and Nature’s Valley lagoon is 20mins away.
The 76-hectare property is zoned agricultural and registered in a CC. There is therefore no transfer duty involved. It is noted that permission has been granted to transfer into freehold. This process is yet to be finalised.
