SAINT VERDE FARMHOUSE
DARGLE VALLEY, MIDLANDS, KWAZULU-NATAL
Historic Hideaway!
Settled on the rich rural soil of the Midlands, just a short drive from the farming village of Howick and overlooking the Dargle Valley – surrounded by indigenous forests, flowing rivers, succulent and tropical fern gardens, meandering walking trails and rolling grasslands – Saint Verde, affectionately named after the fictitious Patron Saint of Green, captivates your imagination and escorts you on a mythical journey of inspiration. The farmhouse and its dwellings – dating back to 1887 – have been nurtured and restored over time, revealing the owners’ fantastical storytelling and finesse in style throughout the home. Every piece of furniture, every ornament, every picture and painting, every lampshade, every piece of natural history, every sentimental item of significance has been curated with intention. As if in a museum, yet without any pretence. Exposed yellowwood floors, ironstone and black slate walls, Carrara marble and tall glass doors and windows create a canvas with layers of rich velvets, Egyptian cottons and luxury linens, porcelain, silver, floral prints and an abundance of foliage.
