A delightful, newly built, modern home that is totally off the grid, using a 5 KVA inverter, four 12.8 volt batteries and six 425 watt solar panels. There are also three 5000 litre water tanks plus a borehole and a gas geyser, which make this practical two-bedroom (or one bedroom and an office) cottage completely self-sufficient.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen area leads onto the garden through aluminium sliding doors, where there are well established citrus trees, a lovely tree aloe and various other trees. With a little TLC the garden can be transformed into a lovely oasis.
Two bedrooms, one with built-in cupboards, both share a bathroom comprising a shower, toilet, and basin, is tastefully tiled.
This home is situated in a sought-after area of Bathurst, close to the research station and close to Waters Meeting. Municipal water and electricity are available by choice.
This is a perfect starter home, a retirement haven, or a sound investment, and has an ample erf of 1200 square metres – manageable, yet sizeable.
Bathurst is a quaint village just 15 km from Port Alfred and 50 km from Grahamstown, the seat of learning in the Eastern Cape. Bathurst is steeped in history with many historical buildings and artefacts, home to the largest pineapple in the southern hemisphere, and well known for one of the oldest pubs in the country, the Pig ‘n Whistle.
Bathurst folk are a delightful, eclectic mix, of farmers, artists, academics, business people and retirees who combine to maintain the colourful ethos of this unique village.
