A rare investment: heritage charm, guaranteed income, and total energy independence — all in one address.Set on a full acre of manicured gardens in the heart of Ferndale, Randburg, this beautifully preserved four-star graded guest house offers a buyer something increasingly hard to find: a fully operational hospitality business with an experienced staff complement already in place, four tenanted cottages generating steady month-to-month rental income, and a property that simply does not notice load shedding or water restrictions.Wrapped in wide verandas and shaded by mature trees, the main house is furnished throughout with rare Cape Dutch and Victorian antiques, giving every room a sense of history rarely found in guest accommodation today. A glass garden conservatory, sparkling pool, and multiple secluded garden nooks make this as much a private retreat as it is a business — and the landscaped grounds have already proven themselves as a boutique wedding and function venue for up to sixty guests.**The numbers that matter to an investor:**- **four permanent staff** already trained and in place — walk in and keep operating from day one- **four fully let cottages**, all on flexible month-to-month leases, delivering immediate rental income:- Cottage 1 — tenant in occupation three months- Cottage 2 — tenant since 1 September 2023- Cottage 3 — tenant since 22 April 2022- Cottage 4 — tenant since 22 August 2024- **Officially four-star graded**, with a reputation built on antique-filled interiors and warm, personal hospitality**Energy and water security most properties can only dream of:**- Exceptionally strong **borehole** supplying reliable, independent water- **5,000L water storage tank** for uninterrupted backup supply- **8kW Sunsynk solar inverter** paired with **3 x 5kWh Greenrich batteries** and **10 solar panels**- **9kVA generator** as a further layer of backup powerThis is a property where guests, tenants, and staff never feel the effects of the grid — a genuine selling point in today's market and a major driver of guest satisfaction and repeat bookings.**Sold largely as a going concern:** the guest house is offered complete with its full furniture and equipment inventory (full inventory list available on request), preserving the antique-filled character that defines the property.
