This two-bedroom designer home and free-standing open living cottage in the Swartland, the most desirable part of Clarens, is all about space and harmony. The owners have spent lavishly to turn this into a sanctuary of elegant simplicity.

All the energy flows to and from a large, open-plan area combining lounge, kitchen, and dining room. A feeling of airiness is derived from the double-volume ceilings, exposed beams, large windows, and sliding doors leading to a tranquil garden. 

An imposing fireplace embedded in sandstone makes winter a cherished season. On balmy summer days, an air-conditioner provides cooler airflow. 

The kitchen is well-appointed with the inclusion of a combustion stove, modern amenities, and a tucked-away scullery, which leads to a secure courtyard. Both bedrooms are spacious with air conditioners and own bathrooms with outstanding design elements.

The large and well-kept garden takes one to the garden cottage with its open-plan living room and kitchen. It has a loft which may be used as a second or main bedroom or even a studio or an office. The sitting area has a gas heater. The bathroom is all elegance and refined taste. The cottage has its an entrance with a motor gate and covered parking space, perfect for private or paying guests. 

The property contains one garage with servant’s quarters and a double-covered parking space for the main residence.
