Lifestyle smallholding in Rheenendal in the beautiful Leeuwenbosch Estate

This smallholding of approximately 4 hectares is part of an estate of 16 smallholdings in the Rheenendal area, a short 20-minute drive from Knysna.

Here you have the opportunity to live surrounded by the beauty of nature, breathe farm fresh air and live semi-off the grid. This property boasts 16 x 5000L rainwater tanks and a 10KVA solar system. Eskom is used as backup power.

A small non-perennial stream runs through the property and has a couple of weirs and a beautiful dam with pristine water lilies.

The main house has got 3 bedrooms, with 2 bathrooms downstairs with an open-plan loft room of 100m/2 that could be converted into upstairs living quarters either by dividing the area into bedrooms and an upstairs lounge or use it as an art studio or hobbies room. The large covered verandahs on the Eastern and the Western side of the house creates a lovely area for either morning or afternoon enjoyment . There are 2 closed-combustion fireplaces in the main house.

The main bedroom is fitted with an air conditioner and both bathrooms have underfloor heating. The carport allows you to park 4 vehicles and all the equipment on the farm. The solar system is installed in a large container that doubles up as storage area or workshop.

There are over a thousand trees planted on the property, including American and English Oak, Cape Beech and Forest Alders but to name a few.

A concrete strip road leads up to the main house, crossing the river with a charming little bridge, creating an ambiance of grand entrance with lovely palm trees lining the road up to the house.

Also on the property is a cottage which has a small kitchen, bedroom, small lounge, bathroom and a fireplace. This could be rented out or accommodate guests.

The staff cottage which is self-contained and independent from the main house, is situated away from the main house.

With 4 ha there is still enough space to create areas for live stock and or horses. The area is a very popular area for horses. Fenced-in areas were created for chickens and ducks already.

The charming vegetation on this property allows you to live out your dream and still create a self-sustainable lifestyle.

This property is only 20 minute drive from the centre of Knysna for all the conveniences of the town but on the edge of the forest with magnificent mountain biking, hiking and trail running routes. There is also a convenience store within the area.
