HISTORIC CAPE DUTCH HOUSE WITH A SECRET...

Description

Stepping onto this property feels a bit like slipping through a friendly wrinkle in time—specifically back to the early 1800s, but with significantly better plumbing and a seriously upgraded power setup. Situated in Heidelberg, Western Cape, this historic Cape Dutch gem effortlessly blends old-world romance, architectural charm, and modern self-sufficiency, offering a rare lifestyle-meets-business opportunity for anyone looking to plant deep roots (literally). The Historic Residence & Modern Comforts The main house exudes character from every corner, featuring three spacious bedrooms and the unmistakable, warm soul that only a home with two centuries of history can offer. While it proudly wears its heritage on its sleeve, it doesn't ask you to live like a 19th-century settler. Modern living is fully supported by a robust 5.1 kW inverter system, backed up by provision for a generator, ensuring your tea stays hot and your lights stay bright no matter what the grid is up to. Vehicle and storage needs are fully covered with a single garage, an adjoining carport, two handy storage sheds, and a large, versatile log cabin that offers endless possibilities for a workshop, studio, or extra office space. The entire property is fully fenced, pet-friendly, and offers ample secure on-site parking for resident vehicles and visiting guests alike. The Thriving Business & Enchanted Garden What truly elevates this property from a charming home to a life-changing endeavor is the inclusion of a long-established, highly reputable nursery that has been flourishing for 30 years. Commercial zoning unlocks a treasure trove of business opportunities right at your front door. The nursery comes fully loaded with: • Hundreds of vibrant plants, mature stocks, and curated greenery. • Winding, picturesque pathways and serene water features that create a tranquil, fairytale atmosphere. • All essential tools and accessories, allowing a new owner to hit the ground running from day one. • An exceptional water system, featuring historic leiwater allocation paired with three massive storage tanks totaling an impressive 18,000 liters. A Ready-Made Lifestyle Shift Whether you envision expanding the current nursery, adding a boutique garden café, launching an artisan workshop, or simply soaking in the peace of a country town with a built-in income stream, this property is tailor-made for a plant enthusiast with a passion for heritage. To make the transition even smoother, all existing furniture is available through separate negotiation. Can you picture yourself taking over the reins of this green paradise, or would you like to explore specific ideas for maximizing its commercial potential?
