SOLE MANDATE:
The Woodcutters Cottage is an architectural designed off the grid haven in the exceptionally cute hamlet of Van Wyksdorp.
The current owner has re-engaged Westhaus architects to design and build a bigger home in town, hence the listing of this unique, one of a kind cottage on a corner plot on the quietest edge of town.
Built by hand, by timber specialists with Karoo poplar wood, sitting lightly on on the land, on stilts, this 2 bedroom home will enchant you with attention to detail that brings texture and Scandinavian minimalism to the Klein Karoo. This is evident in the birch wood ply interior walls, vaulted ceilings and rustic polar wood floors throughout.
An added bonus is that the cottage is fully off grid with both electricity and water.
The main bedroom is en-suite and the second loft bedroom has an outdoor toilet and shower.
The open plan lounge/kitchen has a wood burning fireplace for cozy winter days.
Triple insulated, this home is cool in the hot summers and warm in winter.
The sale includes two 535 m2 stands, and approved plans for a second identical cottage.
There is a solid concrete dam storing 10 minutes water turn per stand. More than enough to keep the many apricot trees bearing beautiful fruit every year. The water is also used to fill the pool and household use.
This is one of a kind opportunity to own a unique and fully off the grid country get away, or full time home, in a town where life moves at the pace of the seasons.
