Description
Just a ten-minute drive from the charming town of Howick lies this peaceful off-the-grid sanctuary. The breathtaking 180 degree view from the house is mesmerising and flaunts the Midlands' green, lush valleys, and wide-open skies.
As you enter the property you are greeted by approximately 4Ha of gum which emanates a soothing eucalyptus scent you will soon associate with coming home.
A comfortable distance from the main house, is a separate one-bedroom Airbnb that has been thoughtfully designed for guests, ensuring privacy and comfort while generating a significant income.
Next door is a more rustic three-bedroom wooden cottage, completely fenced, providing additional living space for possible tenants or extended family.
At the end of the long driveway is the main residence, which is a spacious and luxurious four-bedroom, four-bathroom haven on top of the hill. An annex at the end of the house features an open-plan lounge and kitchen, leading seamlessly to an enclosed patio where you can unwind and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. By including the main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, it becomes the perfect accommodation for family or guests. The sweeping lawn in front of the house enhances the open view, and the fruit trees round the side bear generously.
A firepit in the back garden lends itself to memorable evenings of roasting marshmallows and gazing at the abundant starlit sky.
Behind the house a fenced-off area is dedicated to free-range chickens, while a separate enclosed vegetable garden allows you to cultivate your own fresh produce. Two irrigated vegetable tunnels enhance your ability to grow a variety of crops, promoting sustainable living.
The gravel driveway leads to a double garage and double carport, with an extra carport round the side of the building. Here you will also discover two staff rooms, ablutions, and a kitchenette, providing comfortable accommodation for the staff.
Nearby the house are two large storage rooms which can fulfil a variety of needs, and a non-working cold room provides space for any additional requirements. A quaint Wendy house nearby adds to the storage options.
Water self-sufficiency is ensured with a strong-flowing borehole and two 4500-liter water tanks. A second borehole was drilled on the property but isn't currently in use.
Electricity is provided through a substantial solar system consisting of 44 solar panels (35kW) with an 11kW inverter, making loadshedding seem completely non-existent. For those who are security conscious the property is equipped with an alarm, a CCTV security system, and armed response. Although there is an absence of crime, having it provides peace of mind in this idyllic setting.
Escape the hustle and bustle of urban life and experience off-the-grid living at its finest. This property is not just a home; it's a lifestyle - a sanctuary where you can truly connect with nature while enjoying the comforts of a thoughtfully designed and well-equipped res...

The Old Dairy FarmThe 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.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.

Dignified Simplicity is a self-sustainable community project in the making, and occupies around 6Ha of privately-owned land in Karkloof, KZN Midlands. Surrounding the central homestead and part of the larger 25Ha smallholding, we also do have additional plots available, currently not in use, and are willing to rent them out to interested parties who may wish to farm there on a small scale. Long term leases can be considered, or month to month depending on respective needs. The lands do have access to both dam and drinking (borehole) water, although there is no Eskom power supply or full fencing. These lands vary in size and aspect, and are rich soils, all free from chemicals and fertilisers having laid dormant for a few decades. Currently they have strong bio-diverse grazing on them. The largest piece of land is estimated at 3 Ha, and has a small wooden cabin that can immediately be occupied, although could also do with a little finishing off. Rentals will vary depending on intended use, yet we are open to proposals and negotiations, hereby inviting any parties interested to please make arrangements to come and meet and view and discuss possibilities and intentions. Please contact Jan on 0790728189 to coordinate a visit.
