THE LANGKLOOF – A SPECIAL PLACE TO LIVE
The property lies in the Langkloof, one of the Eastern Cape's most distinctive agricultural and scenic regions. The valley stretches along the R62 between Joubertina and Kareedouw and is characterised by dramatic mountain landscapes, fertile agricultural land, orchards and a peaceful rural atmosphere.
The area is particularly renowned for deciduous fruit farming, while the broader region supports vegetable farming, livestock and other agricultural activities. The combination of fertile soils, mountain water resources and irrigation has contributed to the Langkloof's established agricultural economy.
Joubertina is particularly well known for its apple production and is surrounded by the Kouga, Baviaanskloof and Tsitsikamma mountain ranges. The surrounding area offers hiking, mountain biking, nature experiences and a variety of outdoor activities.
The famous Route 62 runs through the Langkloof, providing a scenic connection between the region and the Garden Route and inland destinations. The route is renowned for its mountain scenery, rural character, farm experiences and distinctive small towns.
CLIMATE AND RAINFALL
The Langkloof enjoys a relatively moderate climate, although conditions can vary according to elevation and position within the valley.
Historical climate information for the Joubertina area indicates average annual rainfall generally in the region of 500–650 mm, while rainfall patterns can vary considerably from year to year. The surrounding mountain ranges create localised microclimates and contribute to the area's diverse agricultural conditions.
Summer temperatures are generally warm, while winters are cooler, particularly at night. The combination of seasonal rainfall, mountain water resources and irrigation has supported the region's long-established agricultural activity.
For this particular property, the combination of borehole water, mountain water, dams, rainwater storage and established irrigation infrastructure is a significant advantage for anyone looking to establish or maintain a self-sufficient rural lifestyle.
NATURE, PRIVACY AND LIFESTYLE
Beyond the infrastructure, this property is about a way of life.
Wake up to mountain air, open skies and the tranquillity of the Langkloof. Grow your own food, keep livestock or chickens, enjoy the freedom of solar power and water independence, and create a home that is genuinely removed from the pressures of urban living.
The surrounding Langkloof is renowned for its mountain landscapes, natural beauty and rural character, with opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, 4x4 adventures and exploring the surrounding mountain areas.
