SUGARGUM HOUSE:YOU’VE ARRIVED

This exquisitely designed and owner-built 3-bedroom home (which conveniently does not experience load shedding!) stands just on the outskirts of McGregor, looking across the town towards Robertson and the folds of the Dassieshoek Mountain Range. Nicknamed 'Sugargum House', after the impressive post-and-beam design hand-built by the owner, the triple-volume ceilings and gorgeous framework are the home's key aesthetic feature.

​

A completely private home, this property flows from one space to the next, comfortably providing spacious living areas in which to lounge and enjoy the quiet of this special town. As accommodating on hot summer days, with the patio built around the centrally located swimming pool, or cooler winter evenings warmed by the central fireplace. Perfectly located to enjoy any one of the little town's hidden secrets (more on that shortly) as well as the area's extensive outdoor hikes, rides, runs and adventures.

The property has a balanced and symmetrical feeling, facing a North-Easterly direction and with bedrooms on the northern-most wing, creating well-managed warmth throughout the day. The two downstairs bedrooms (one king-sized bed in the 2nd bedroom, and two singles in the 3rd), share an ensuite bathroom and have walk-through access to each other. The master bedroom upstairs (one queen-sized bed), above the 2nd bedroom, has a wonderful view across the gently down-sloping town and surrounds, with mountains in the distance. The en-suite bathroom includes a bath with step access, a shower, and is more than roomy enough.

Day-to-day activities revolve around the centre of the home, with dining room and living spaces centrally located and easily accessed from any part of the interior. The pedestrian entrance, closed off to create an intimate pond area within the home, flows through to the dining area and out onto the patio, where the swimming pool (with adequate cover for little children, if needed) divides the patio space. With covered and uncovered sections of the patio, this space is geared for all conditions, and makes an exceptional braai (BBQ) spot!

The southern wing houses the main lounge area, complete with Samsung Smart Projector and entertainment system for night-time viewing (no day-time TV, the area is too bright for the projector and there are too many activities anyhow!).
Closer to the entrance site the kitchen, which is superbly equipped and will cater to all of your culinary needs. The kitchen's central island is large and has more than enough room for kitchen preparation, and quickly becomes the centre of attention during these times, with four bar stools providing seating.
The scullery in the southern-most corner of the home, closest to the regular entrance, holds the dishwasher, washing machine, and various cleaning items for your convenience.

Out front, the garden is lush and green year-round, with a lawn suitable for the best of garden-cricket games! The beds are packed full of waterwise plants, which thrive in the open, and veggie patches that can easily add to your salads - feel free to pick!
