6 Bedroom Freestanding For Sale in Shortens Country Estate

Steeped in history yet designed for modern family living, this one-of-a-kind 6-bedroom farmhouse is the original homestead of the Shortens Estate — known as Bogmore, built in the early 1900s by Horace Hulett, son of Sir Liege Hulett, the founder of Hullett Sugar. Its wraparound verandahs, lofty proportions, and gracious architecture capture the elegance of a bygone era, while thoughtful updates ensure comfort, convenience, and security in the present day.
The home’s wraparound balcony and generous patio overlook a private splash pool and landscaped gardens, creating a tranquil setting for entertaining or relaxed outdoor living. At the heart of the residence lies a large farmhouse-style kitchen, a true gathering place for family and friends. Three separate lounges, a genuine pub for sports and sundowners, and expansive reception rooms offer endless possibilities for connection and celebration.
The magnificent master suite opens onto the verandah and includes a dressing room and secluded private garden. A separate suite with private access provides ideal guest accommodation, while two additional rooms leading off the pool area offer flexible options — perfect for extended family or income-generating rentals.
Residents enjoy the estate’s added lifestyle benefits, including exclusive access to the communal pool and clubhouse. Practicality comes standard with two garages, with the option to purchase two more for additional vehicles or storage.
This residence combines the timeless charm of an Edwardian farmhouse with the peace of mind of secure estate living, all just minutes from Ballito’s pristine beaches, schools, shopping centres, and vibrant lifestyle offerings.
A rare and remarkable property — a living piece of Ballito’s history, and a lifestyle opportunity you truly need to experience in person.
