Riebeeckstad and Doorn owners ask for timber wendy houses and nutec home offices, while plots around Allanridge and Hennenman suit container homes and kit homes. Old mine houses in Virginia and Odendaalsrus sometimes get a modular room. Ask about insulation and ceilings, as Free State winters are cold and summers hot. Flat sites make delivery easier but drainage still matters.
Sizes run one module to a multi-module home. Before you agree to anything: agrément, council plans and NHBRC.
