Designing Country Life, Building Happiness.
The Winchester Series
The Farmhouse Cottage
Cozy country living, modern comfort.
A dream home in a special wrapper: 2 en‑suite bedrooms, entertainer’s heart, off‑grid ready.
Welcome to the Farmhouse Cottage—where country calm meets modern ease. An airy, 67 m² open‑plan living space anchors the home with a contemporary island kitchen and a crackling fireplace. Oversized sliders dissolve the boundary to a 3 m‑deep pergola patio with a built‑in braai—your all‑season gathering place. Two private en‑suite bedrooms frame the living core, while a proper pantry and dedicated laundry keep everyday life effortless. Thoughtful proportions, durable finishes, and sunlight from the north make this cottage feel bigger than its footprint—crafted for weekends away or full‑time comfort. Choose the solar package to live lightly and keep the lights on.
