Close your eyes and imagine complete silence, peace, and tranquility! That is exactly what this 197 Ha farm offers and more. It is ideally nestled in the Karoo's Klein Swartberg Mountain range, less than 10 km from the town of Ladismith, along the famous R62 tourism route.
The fully functional rustic farmhouse features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open plan kitchen and living area, a scullery, a pantry, and 2 covered patios. There is a separate studio situated nearby, as well as a quaint little caravan to serve as extra accommodation. Attached to the main farmhouse is an outside shower to further invoke the farm living experience.
Approximately 1 Ha around the dwelling has been fenced in. This fenced off area boasts a shaded structure for a nursery or vegetable garden, and a further shaded area for a small chicken coup. Over 20 olive trees, and other fruit trees, have been planted in recent years to add to the already vast floral landscape. No real farm would be complete without a sturdy tool shed to house the equipment needed to manage the farm.
Although an Eskom power supply exists, the farm is sufficiently geared up for off-grid living. Together with 8 x 395-watt solar panels, a 7.2 KVA inverter, as well as a 5120 W lithium-ion battery, load shedding miseries are non-existent on this slice of paradise. On top of that, 40 000 liters worth of JoJo storage tanks are strategically connected to operate as a complete system (or individually) to harvest rain-, river and borehole water. The fully equipped borehole is an astonishing 180 m deep with current water levels already available from 20 m below the surface.
The caretaker currently living on this idyllic farm has an excellent understanding of the workings of the farm and has passionately expressed his desire to remain as such if the new owners of the farm do so wish.
Surround yourself with the unmistakable perfumes of Karoo fynbos. Surround yourself with incredible mountain views that sweeten the taste of a sun downer drink. Be ready for the chirps of an abundance of birds to be your new alarm clock. Gaze at stars that you have never seen before while breathing in the cleanest fresh air around. Be rejuvenated!
The residence is partially furnished, and is included in selling price.
