Alta
The cottage is within a peaceful and tranquil lifestyle estate, securely boomed off and with 24 hour security patrols. The property is completely off the grid with no water or load shedding interuptions. The cottage is removed from the main house with a private entrance and parking. You will enjoy a closed off garden shared with the free-range chickens roaming around in the fruit orchard. You are welcome to enjoy the pool, vegetables and main grounds which is shared with the main house. The bedroom has a king bed for two adults but a roll away bed is available for a child.
I love my garden and this is where you will find me most of the time😊 I grow herbs and make all kinds of products with that. You will always find this and fresh organic eggs in the cottage upon arrival💐
We live in a secure estate very close to several shopping centers and the KYALAMI racetrack. We are about 6 KMS from the Mall of Africa, the largest mall in SA. Lanseria is an easy 15km drive and OR Tambo 24km. We are central to most attractions and spoilt for choice with various restaurants.
