Create a legacy along Pretoria's Garsfontein corridor, bordering Grootfontein and Rietvlei estates — 723ha with a Cape Dutch homestead, oak-tree garden and restaurant rights.
Since 1880, this extraordinary 723-hectare farm has been more than just land — it has been a home, a livelihood, and a legacy passed down through generations.
A place where stories were lived, where hard work shaped the landscape, and where family roots run deep... even resting within the soil itself. Today, this remarkable property stands ready for its next chapter. Perfectly positioned along the sought-after Garsfontein development corridor, and bordering the established Grootfontein and Rietvlei view estates, this is a rare opportunity to honour the past while building the future.
At the heart of the farm lies a magnificent Cape Dutch homestead, rich in character and history. Beneath a breathtaking, mature oak tree — a quiet symbol of strength, endurance, and time — the garden unfolds into a space filled with possibility. With restaurant rights already in place, this setting offers the perfect foundation for a signature lifestyle element within a future development: a boutique restaurant, wedding venue, or community hub.
A modern, fully fenced residence complements the historic home, offering contemporary living or operational flexibility.
But beyond its beauty... lies undeniable potential.
