Rare opportunity to own an elegant, French-inspired farmhouse in a tranquil wildlife estate in the beautiful KZN Midlands
This elegant, impeccably appointed, 600m² French-inspired farmhouse, built by the founder of Decorex – award-winning South African interior decorator and author of Beautiful Homes of South Africa – and her architect husband, wants for nothing. From the French Oak floors to the bespoke door frames and windows, you’ll feel like you’re in a world-class boutique hotel.
Situated within a 75-hectare, secure wildlife estate in tranquil Nottingham Road Upper, this double-storey, double-fronted house, overlooks one of three Estate trout lakes - 100m from the edge of the garden - beyond the indigenous landscaped garden.
Special features include solar, double-glazing on the colder side of the house, three wood burners, outdoor shower, uninterrupted views, cement bag-washed walls, double-volume kitchen/dining area in the South Wing and two beautifully finished garages, which open onto the entrance courtyard, that could be used as artists’ studios.
The area is famous for excellent schools such as Michaelhouse, St Anne’s, Hilton, Clifton and Cowan House. The property is only minutes from the N3.
Two configurations are possible with this beautifully designed home :
Single residence
• 5 bedrooms
• 4 bathrooms
• Large kitchen / dining area
• Two sitting rooms
• Study
Or by simply closing one door, you can create two residences :
• South Wing
o 3 bedrooms
o 2 bathrooms
o Large kitchen / dining area
o Sitting room
o Study
• North Wing
o 2 bedrooms
o 2 bathrooms
o Open plan living area
o Kitchenette

The South Wing / North wing configuration would lend itself to having a permanent tenant on one side of the house or alternatively, suitable for a couple of families to share the space when they spend time in the Midlands or even an opportunity for a company to own a property for their directors / share holders to use as a getaway.
So many opportunities, this stunning Midlands home should not be overlooked.
