Description

This Exclusive mandate offers a dreamy off-the-grid, surrounded-by-nature, and work-from-home lifestyle.

Experience the ambience of yesteryear with today’s modern finishes. The main house is a 120-year-old woodcutter’s cottage that was revamped and modernized to fit modern-day lifestyle. It offers 3 bedrooms with 1 full bathroom. The western, undercover veranda was extended to create a perfect 50m/2 sunset entertainment area, with a built-in braai. It also has a cast-iron stove to cook on whilst you enjoy the exquisite sunset-view over Swartvlei lake in the distance. On the eastern side of the house, there is another open veranda (with built-in braai), for sunrise morning coffee, or dinner under the stars on hot summer days. This veranda offers more exquisite views of the well-established old trees in the garden, the natural spring and the evergreen plantations of the neighbouring properties. The dining room has a cozy fireplace to enjoy the beautiful views in summer and winter. Superbly finished wooden floors add to the cosy feeling in the lounge where there is another cast iron fireplace. The farm kitchen has a spacious walk-in pantry and laundry room, leading off of the kitchen.


The outbuildings were cleverly converted into a 1-bedroom Cottage where craftsmanship is visible in a yellow-wood kitchen and separate bedroom. The open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen is both stylish and cozy. A separate outside entertainment area with a fire pit, makes this an ideal place to rent out as a holiday option or have a permanent tenant; facing away from the main house with their own amazing views over the Swartvlei lakes district.

The workshop area is neatly laid out (an absolutely perfect man-cave), next to a solar room with its own entrance. The property currently has a 20 KVA evergreen GoSolar system on a rental basis. 3-phase Eskom electricity is also available and still connected (but not used much).

2 very comfortable large studies makes working from home on this property a pleasure, with great internet connectivity; one loose standing next to the carport, and the other next to the workshop.

Double netted carport is sufficient for 2 cars.

There is a 1-bedroom staff quarters next to the large veggie garden.

All 3 dwellings have beautiful views of the Swartvlei lakes district in the distance and are inside a 2 hectare fenced section of the farm (with an electric fence).

Free-range chickens will follow you when you walk down to the spring-fed dam,where you will also find a secret garden with 100-year old citrus trees - still bearing huge amounts of fruit. The chicken coup protects the chickens from wildlife at night and ensures a good supply of fresh eggs (they are open for being adopted by the new owner, they all have names).

The borehole provides 5700 litre per hour with 2 x 6000 litre tanks for storage and an additional 8000 litre rainwater tank. This gives you ample water on this property with a reverse osmosis unit that offers readily available drinking and potable water.

The rest of the property has some big trees, with areas where the clearing of land has begun. You can see this as a blank slate to create whatever farming activities you prefer, or just enjoy the feeling of walking in the woods when you take a stroll on the land. Approximately 7ha is still undeveloped.

The farm is 12km from Sedgefield and 7km from the N2, making it easy to get to George, the Airport or to Knysna.  

If it is quality of life and a forever home that you are looking for, this is one property you should definitely see!
