A Timeless Treasure In The Heart Of Mill Park Where Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort

Set in the sought-after suburb of Mill Park, Gqeberha, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a home where history, character and modern living blend beautifully. Situated on an expansive stand of approximately 6,900 m², this remarkable residence offers a sense of country living within one of the city’s most desirable residential areas.

Built in the early 1900s, the home retains much of its original charm, with beautiful stonework, traditional wooden window frames and glass, rich Meranti and teak flooring, and three fireplaces that add warmth and character. The owners have thoughtfully preserved many of its original features, allowing the home’s unique history and timeless appeal to shine through.

The main residence offers four generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms. The kitchen combines modern convenience with traditional charm, featuring elegant marble countertops, a gas stove and an additional Defy Jewel coal- and wood-fired stove.

Designed for entertaining, the inviting entertainment area overlooks the sparkling salt-chlorinated swimming pool and beautifully landscaped garden. Complete with a spacious built-in wooden bar and its own kitchen, this is the perfect setting for hosting family and friends.

Beyond the main residence, the property offers a collection of character-filled outbuildings, retaining their original names: the Monkey Room, Servants’ Quarters, Paint Room, Laundry and Store Room. The former greenhouse has also been transformed into a charming outdoor art studio, offering an inspiring space for creativity or hobbies.

Parking and workspace are exceptional, with four garages, an extensive workshop area accommodating approximately nine additional vehicles, and ample off-street parking.

The established garden creates a peaceful, country-inspired atmosphere, supported by an irrigation system, a 40,000-litre dam and additional water storage tanks with a combined capacity of 30,000 litres for garden use. A supplementary backup water supply is also available for the main house.

Additional features include an 8 kVA inverter and solar power serving the workshop and irrigation system, a separate 5 kVA inverter providing backup power to the main residence, and two alarm systems for added security.

More than just a home, this is a property with a story to tell. Combining heritage, generous proportions, versatile outbuildings and wonderful entertainment spaces, it offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.

A rare opportunity to experience the charm of a bygone era, complemented by the comforts of modern living, in the heart of Mill Park.
