Others have a story woven into their very foundations. This extraordinary residence is a rare piece of Fairtrees history, originally constructed as the area's farmhouse and now proudly standing as the largest home on the largest erf within Fairtrees Estate. The character of the original farmhouse remains beautifully evident, with generous proportions, graceful arches, large wood-framed bay windows and elegant timber French-style doors opening towards the gardens. Traditional wooden shutters add to its timeless country charm, while modern finishes and conveniences bring the home firmly into contemporary living. Outside, towering oak trees, magnificent orange-blooming clivias and lush natural lawn create a wonderfully established setting, with plenty of space for children and pets to enjoy. *DESIGNED FOR FAMILY LIVING & ENTERTAINING: The four-bedroom main residence offers generous, sun-filled living spaces, a spacious main suite with en-suite bathroom, a study and a separate enclosed lounge with a striking TV feature wall. The modern kitchen features a Smeg gas stove, while the expansive indoor braai room provides the perfect setting for relaxed entertaining throughout the year. One bedroom also enjoys the warmth and charm of its own fireplace. Outside, a sparkling splash pool is surrounded by easy-care synthetic lawn, while the specially constructed greenhouse adds a charming touch for those who enjoy gardening. *AN EXCEPTIONAL FLATLET, WITH GENUINE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL: The two-bedroom, two-bathroom flatlet is an exceptional feature and unusually spacious. Complete with a modern kitchen, Smeg gas stove, generous cupboard space, lounge with combustion wood burner and a separate enclosed braai room with indoor fireplace, it functions almost like a second home. With its own garage, parking and separate entrance, the flatlet can operate independently or be connected to the main residence — making it ideal for extended family, guests or additional rental income. *SMART, SECURE, and ENERGY EFFICIENT: Practicality has not been overlooked. The property includes 18 solar panels, multiple inverters and batteries, offering impressive energy independence, together with two 2,500-litre rainwater tanks for irrigation. A long side driveway provides discreet space for trailers, boats and other larger vehicles, while security cameras around the home and the secure gated estate provide added peace of mind.
