A breath-taking position on the very popular “Green Belt!” between The Langeberg Mountains and the ever so popular R60 between Swellendam and Ashton, you will find this gem.
On Exclusive Sole Mandate, especially for you. The opportunity of a lifetime!
On the foothills of the majestic Langeberg Mountains, at the end of the road, only the mountain as your neighbour, you will find this Beauty! The setting is perfect, the views breath-taking and to top it all, the farm is on the water rich side of the Langeberg Mountains close to Swellendam, on the ever so popular R60! The farm stretches over soft rolling hills where animals can graze on green pastures, all the way to the mountain. The valleys, hills and magnificent views make this a popular tourist destination for hikes, mountain biking and climbing. This beautiful farm is situated slap bang in the most amazing catchment area you can hope to be in, with an average rainfall in the above 600mm bracket!
NB!! NB!! In today’s world, this is important! OFF GRID! The whole farm is off grid, with its own water, Solar Electricity, veggies and sewage disposal. Self-sufficient farming is definitely the way to go here. None of the free-range animals on the farm are included in the sale, but are optionally negotiable.
The beautiful main house, situated amongst age old shady trees, is well maintained and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite) and another dwelling which is currently rented out (month to month) has four bedrooms and three bathrooms (one en-suite) and is pet friendly. Not to mention the two beautiful, restored and furnished guest cottages, overlooking the dam with views that will take your breath away! They are open-plan, with dressing room, bathroom and braai outside. Also available is the use of the jetty on the dam to launch rowboats etc.
Tourism is definitely an option here! The previous Owner used to have Youth Camps with 4 Wendy houses, three other rooms, a kitchen and wooden ablution facilities. All in relatively good condition. Also, a cob-built Lapa for training, meetings and games. Two more Wendy houses are hidden in the bushes, away from it all. This property is amazing! Around every corner you will find another surprise, feast your eyes on the beautiful greenery.
No commercial farming currently on the farm, providing you with a clean canvas. Start your own dream! Come and plant what your heart desires with potential arable land of approximately 11Ha, currently under irrigation. With many more hectares of dry-land where you can plant Oats or Wheat, due to the high rainfall per annum.

This farm benefits from an amazing catchment area, whereby the water is stored in four large ground manmade irrigation dams, properly planned to facilitate gravity fed irrigation. On one of the hills is a large corrugated iron dam, in need of attention, connected with a strong electric pump that fills it. The farm has 17 different tanks storing rain water.
Just to add more value, the farm brags with a massive large barn/workshop combination of roughly 400m² with a mezzanine floor for extra storage. On the property are different normal farm outbuildings e.g., indoor plant areas, chicken coops, sheep handling facilities etc., too many to mention. A list of implements will be provided to the interested Purchaser, e.g., tractor, trailer, tiller, bushwhacker etc. There is also a list of farm equipment that can be purchased separately for a good price.
Many species of fynbos and proteas in the mountains can be harvested for an extra income and eco-tourism is a definite option, for mountain biking, hiking, camping, fishing and bird watching, the works!
This is a beautiful farm and with so much potential you wouldn’t want to let this opportunity slip through your fingers. Book your viewing!
