Set on an expansive estate in the sought-after Burnside area, this brick-under-tile family home offers space, privacy, and excellent infrastructure suited to comfortable family living, small-scale farming, or semi off-grid living. The property combines a well-sized main residence with multiple additional buildings, extensive water supply, strong security, and reliable power solutions.
The main house comprises four bedrooms, all fitted with built-in cupboards and ceiling fans. The main bedroom is air-conditioned and features a private en-suite bathroom with shower, basin, and toilet. A family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms and includes both a bath and shower, along with a separate toilet and linen cupboard. Living spaces include a welcoming lounge with a fireplace ideal for cooler months, and a dining room with a walk-in pantry. The fitted, tiled kitchen is complemented by a scullery with water points and electrical connections. Interior and exterior security sensors are installed and linked to a security company.
Outdoor living is well catered for with a swimming pool and a thatched entertainment area. The grounds are enhanced by a variety of mature fruit trees including guava, avocado, mulberry, orange, lemon, and grapefruit. A built-in cricket pitch adds a unique recreational feature. Parking and storage are provided by a three-span carport with two adjoining storerooms.
The property is well equipped for self-sufficiency, featuring two fully operational boreholes and a 180,000-litre reservoir situated on the side plot. Municipal water is currently disconnected. Waste management is handled by three septic tanks. Power supply is robust, with a combined 7 kVA and 5 kVA solar system supported by 26 solar panels, offering substantial off-grid capability. A generator house sized for a 20 kVA generator is in place, and a one-horsepower pressure pump is installed in the storeroom.
Additional accommodation includes a one-bedroom self-contained cottage fitted with a gas geyser and a separate staff quarters setup comprising a three-bedroom unit and a single-room unit, with shared kitchen and ablution facilities. A large workshop measuring approximately 30 m x 10 m is divided into four sections and constructed with corrugated iron and durawall for security. The workshop is connected to the solar system. Three stables are located on the back plot and require repair.
Security is a strong feature of the property, with barbed and razor wire surrounding the entire estate and adjoining plots. The side and back plots are enclosed with 8-foot durawall topped with barbed and razor wire. Two gated entrances provide separate access to the main plot and the side plot.
This versatile Burnside property offers exceptional space, solid infrastructure, and excellent security, making it ideal for families, investors, or buyers seeking a private, self-sufficient lifestyle with room to expand.
