Situated in the middle of the Sepree Rivier Private Nature Reserve and the Kouga Nature Reserve, with only a few kilometers separating it from the Western Cape border, this farm offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Eastern Cape while still being within reach of the Western Cape's attractions.
Nestled amidst the majestic peaks of the Eastern Cape's mountainous terrain, this beautiful farm, Marias Dal situated in Louterwater is a sanctuary of natural beauty and rustic charm. As you traverse the winding roads that lead to this hidden gem, you'll be enveloped by the tranquility of its surroundings, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Spread across a vast expanse of 505 hectares, this off-the-grid haven offers a blend of rugged wilderness and modern comforts. The main house stands as a testament to timeless elegance, boasting three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. The spacious Lounge leads out on to a lovely stoep/braai area with a out door built-in-braai. Recently renovated, it harmonises seamlessly with its surroundings, offering panoramic views of the rolling hills and verdant valleys that stretch as far as the eye can see.
This property awaits 4 Cottages needing TLC. Though they may require a bit of TLC, their rustic allure is undeniable, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of simple living and quiet contemplation.
2 Lovely Furnished Cottages , down by the river.
A 2 bedroom Cottage behind the main home, potentially a Lodge.
A short distance away, a cozy two-bedroom house awaits, beckoning with the promise of peaceful evenings and lazy afternoons. Though it may require a touch of tender loving care, its potential is undeniable, offering ample opportunity for customisation and personalisation.
Adjacent to the main house, a three-car garage with a sprawling 60 square meters office space above, it provides the perfect blend of functionality and convenience. Recently renovated, it stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.
For those seeking a more rustic retreat, two cottages brimming with character and charm await. Two of these cottages are situated along the banks of the serene river, offering tranquil views and the soothing sounds of flowing water.
The heartbeat of the farm lies in its agricultural infrastructure, with ample space for livestock and cultivation. Large sheds provide shelter for animals, while a sprawling chicken coop ensures a steady supply of farm-fresh eggs. Down by the river, a charming rondavel and a quaint two-bedroom thatched house await, fully furnished and ready to provide respite from the cares of the world.
Water is plentiful, with almost 7 kilometers of private river frontage providing a steady supply for irrigation and consumption. A solar water pump, coupled with storage tanks and reservoirs, ensures a reliable supply even in the most remote corners of the farm. And with a Victron Connect inverter, equipped with 6kW solar panels and 20kW batteries, electricity is never in short supply, powering the main house, the two-bedroom house, and the office/garage area with ease.
Though the decision to part with such a treasure may be tinged with sadness, the opportunity it presents is boundless. With a price on application and no VAT involved, the path to ownership is as clear as the Eastern Cape skies. So take a step off the beaten path and into the embrace of nature's embrace, where adventure awaits at every turn.
