4 Bedroom House For Sale In Noordhoek
'Cosy' descibes to perfection this cute Elgin timber cottage in the heart of San Michel, hidden away in a verdant forest of green trees and shrubbery. But, with 4 bedrooms plus a family room, separate country kitchen and studio, there is still plenty of space for family and guests. A short, leafy flight of timber steps takes you to the front deck where a floor-to-ceiling glass sliding door welcomes you to the lovely laid-back sitting room. The open-plan dining room lies behind and leads directly to the family room and country kitchen with double sink and free-standing cooker that, in turn, accesses the back garden via more anodised aluminium sliding doors. The bedroom wing with four bedrooms, and two bathrooms (mes) is off to the right. Rates are around R1541pm.
The pretty, if somewhat overgrown, garden abounds with intriguing pathways weaving all around the cottage and there's a brick-paved carport in the front under the main bedroom. A further brick-paved area behind the kitchen connects to an outside timber cabin/studio with an aluminium sliding door and picture window (good for storage but great for any amount of other uses) and a separate laundry.
Cosy, cute and charming, but there's no denying that this home needs some attention so we've priced it accordingly. But if cosy, cute and charming is the sort of home you find attractive (and let's face it, who doesn't), don't miss this opportunity to take a peek!

Goliath Heron spears catfish and swallows whole...EVENTUALLY.
Goliath Heron catches massive catfish and swallows it whole, after a couple of attempts. See Part 2 for the after the swallow footage. #hungryformore
This was filmed at dusk on a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS with no tripod and fully zoomed while hiding amongst some reeds. After he walked off with the fish, I emerged from my hiding place and walked around the lake to the other side to capture the swallow. The entire event was almost 20 minutes from catch until swallow.
The Goliath Heron (Ardea Goliath) is the world's largest heron, nearly double the size of the Purple Heron. They are 140-150cm in height and weigh roughly 4.30kg. The sexes are alike. It is generally an uncommon resident. Feeds mostly on large fish but also reptiles, frogs and small mammals. Once prey is spotted, it lunges with bill open and stabs the fish. It usually requires 2 to 3 large meals per day.
This footage was captured at an internal dam called Waterlily Lake. It is one of several lakes on a residential and golf estate, called Pecanwood Estate, located at Hartbeespoort Dam, North West Province, South Africa.
Many species of wildlife have been observed, including the Goliath Herons, Cape Clawless Otters, Marsh Mongoose, Little Bittern and African Spoonbill.
Because the water from Hartbeespoort dam is abstracted and circulated within the internal lakes - it is vital to preserve reed-beds in the internal lakes, as Biological filtering systems. Hartbeespoort dam has historically suffered from toxic blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria); which could easily be transferred to the internal lakes. So having the nutrient filtering reed-beds is crucial. Secondly, the reed-beds provide Aquatic Habitat for many different Wildlife species, thereby promoting Biodiversity. Sadly many people do not appreciate the value of reed-beds (improving water quality and providing homes and nesting material to many creatures), and they continue to remove them for aesthetic purposes.
