Aviemore farmhouse, nestled in the heart of the Midlands Meander, is set against a backdrop of gently rolling hills and the distant peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains. It is a spacious home and radiates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The surrounding gardens are a patchwork of vibrant flowers, and bold hydrangeas, and the tall trees offer an inviting area to dine outside. Just beyond the gardens, a picturesque dam, offers a peaceful spot for fishing or simply unwinding by the water's edge. The nearby fields stretch out in all directions, providing a natural playing field or the space for scenic country walks. The birdlife, Nguni cattle and the odd Otter add to its appeal. With this tranquil atmosphere, Aviemore is a perfect retreat, where the beauty of nature is on full display and the serenity of the land invites relaxation and exploration.
Spending time with my family on the farm.

The neighbourhood is peaceful and serene, with expansive green spaces, dense forests, and rolling hills, making it a haven for wildlife and birdwatchers alike. This protected environment ensures the landscape remains unspoiled, and the air is fresh with the scent of pine and wildflowers. Nearby, the well-known restaurant La Lampara offers a delightful culinary experience, with its inviting atmosphere and exquisite menu that showcases local ingredients—perfect for a relaxing meal after a day of exploration. Just a short drive away, the Midlands Meander provides an array of activities for visitors, from scenic drives to art galleries, boutique shops, and outdoor adventures like hiking and horseback riding. For families, the prestigious Michaelhouse School is also nearby, with its historic buildings and lush campus, adding a sense of tradition and academic excellence to the area.
