BATHURST BARGAIN – GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY

This comfortable three-bedroom home in a quiet area of Bathurst offers a huge erf of 4280 square metres.
The garden is on a gentle slope with an abundance of established fruit trees, both exotic and indigenous, as well as lots of beautiful large trees and shrubs.
A 65 000 litre reservoir plus three 5000 litre water tanks, and a borehole capable of pumping 500 litres of sweet water per hour, ensures that there will never be a water shortage, and there is more than enough water to maintain a magnificent garden and plenty of fruit trees. There is plenty of open space to erect tunnels, or to build an additional dwelling – the sky is the limit.

Situated in a quiet area of Bathurst, you enter the property through a manual gate onto a paved driveway which offers ample off-street parking. To your right is the back garden and a single garage.
The lounge/dining/kitchen area is open plan. The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom comprising a shower, basin and toilet. The second bathroom services the other bedrooms, and there is a separate toilet.
Leading onto the lounge is a lovely veranda with stunning views over the property and into the valley and surrounding bush.
Security is in the form of double burglar bars and an alarm system with 24 hour monitoring.
Bathurst is approximately 12 kilometres inland from Port Alfred, on the R67 road, in the Eastern Cape. Its chief claim to fame is that it was the early administrative centre established by the British Government for the 1820 British Settlers who were sent to the district as a buffer between the Cape Colony and the Xhosa pastoralists who were migrating southwards and westwards along the coast. Bathurst is now part of the Ndlambe Local Municipality.
Many original settler houses and other buildings have been preserved, and there remains much of the look and feel of an English village of the early 19th century.

While time has moved slowly in Bathurst, there is an eclectic mix of farmers, artists, those seeking a more peaceful lifestyle, academics, and retirees
