Escape to the country and the ultimate Karoo lifestyle in Willowmore – the closest town to the world heritage site of the Baviaans Kloof! This unique establishment, built in the late 1880’s, as the area’s jail and courthouse complex, has been restored and refurbished to perfection.
Up until recently, “The Old Jail” has operated as a luxury guest house, gaming lodge and now simply a luxurious manor house, with seven bedroom suites. Ideally positioned, near the start of the Baviaans Kloof, this ultra-luxurious property provides a versatility of living options. The crisp air, endless blue skies of the true Karoo and close proximity, to George’s airport, just one hour and forty five minutes drive, are very appealing features this unique property provides.
Water is a priceless asset of this property and a strong borehole provides unlimited water to the circular 180 000 litre reservoir, complete with fountains which in turn supplies the entire property. With so many original and unique features, dating back to the late 1800’s, incorporated in this enchanting property, the sale includes all furniture, soft furnishings, linen and crockery, a treasured collection of antique furnishings, sought-after objets and artworks.
Private bedroom suites open out into private, high-walled courtyards, furnished with sun loungers, affording private time to relax and soak up the sun and crisp Karoo air. Depending on your preference, the interleading living rooms of grand proportions, provide a variety of uses and are uniquely furnished and feature a gallery of prized artworks, also included in the sale. A dark-coloured pool refreshes body and soul in the summer months.
