Steeped in over a century of history, this remarkable farmhouse stands as a treasured reminder of Ballito’s early sugar farming heritage. Originally built around 1900 by Horace Hulett, a member of the pioneering Hulett family who helped establish the sugar industry in Natal, this home embodies timeless character and enduring charm.
Once the heart of the Bogmore sugar farm, the farmhouse has seen generations of care and transformation. From its early days as a working farmhouse to its later life as a boutique hotel and now a beautifully restored family home, every chapter adds depth to its story. The property retains the architectural grace and warm atmosphere of its origins while blending comfortably with modern living.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully converted back into a home during the development of Shortens Country Estate, the farmhouse now offers an elegant lifestyle surrounded by tranquil gardens and a sense of history that few properties can match. The interiors reflect both heritage and refinement, featuring spacious living areas, original details, and a welcoming sense of continuity.
Today, the home forms part of a secure sectional title development within Shortens Estate. Having been cared for by the Love family for more than a decade, the farmhouse remains a well-preserved piece of Ballito’s past — a place where history, comfort, and community come together in perfect harmony.
