The original buildings on the then smallholding, was a dairy and shed. The 2 buildings were later joined and turned into a house as it is still is in 2019.
The house is situated in the front part of the very big 3117 m² stand. Back in the day the owner kept life stock on this piece of land. Near the end of the stand is a small water stream that flows down from the Caledon Botanical garden. Parallel to the stand, is a street “donated” by the current owner’s grandfather. The street makes it easy to subdivide the big stand into smaller stands and develop a few more properties. Each stand will have access from this street.
