Tranquil Retreat with Income-Generating Apartment

Tucked away in the sought-after Brenton-on-Lake, this charming double-storey wooden home offers a rare blend of tranquillity, nature and versatility. Surrounded by indigenous vegetation, the property is a true haven for bush buck and birdlife, creating a peaceful, almost retreat-like atmosphere.

The main residence is positioned upstairs, designed to maximise light, space and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Two spacious bedrooms both open directly onto a large deck, inviting you to soak up the natural surrounds. The main bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, while a family bathroom conveniently serves the second bedroom and guests.

The heart of the home is the well-fitted kitchen, flowing effortlessly into an open-plan lounge and dining area. A combustion wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, making this an inviting space for relaxed living and entertaining throughout the year.

On the ground level, with its own private and separate entrance, is a generously sized one-bedroom apartment. This self-contained unit offers excellent privacy and includes an open-plan living area with kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, all opening onto a lovely north-facing deck. Ideal for extended family, guests, or as an income-generating rental.

Additional features include:
• Four 2,500L water tanks
• 3kVA inverter with two batteries
• Excellent separation between main home and apartment
• Peaceful, nature-rich setting
