10ha Smallholding in Elandskraal

Exclusive Mandate

Hidden deep within the tranquil forests of Elandskraal lies this exquisite 10-hectare lifestyle property — a place where privacy, nature and character blend into a truly special home.

The charming 360m2 colonial-styled residence is thoughtfully positioned among the treetops, offering serene forest views from every room. Inside, the home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the main bedroom enjoying its own fireplace, adding a touch of romance and warmth for winter evenings.

The spacious lounge, fitted with a beautiful fireplace of its own, invites you to relax while overlooking the canopy through custom-made cottage pane windows and doors. A large study — currently used as a music room — provides flexibility as a fifth bedroom if needed.

At the heart of the home is the farm-style yet modern kitchen, flowing into an open-plan dining area. A separate laundry and pantry offer generous space for appliances, freezers, and storage. Everywhere you look, the forest surrounds you, bringing a sense of calm and connection to nature.

Step outside to a charming natural-stone braai area, ideal for gatherings in the fresh country air, while a pretty water feature welcomes you at the front entrance. The garden is beautifully loved and maintained, complete with an irrigation system to keep the plants thriving year-round.

Next to the house, an original cement foundation slab remains — the perfect opportunity to build a double garage or an additional cottage for extended family.

The property includes a generous 100m2 outbuilding, large enough to park four vehicles or a combination of cars, trailers and boats. An unfinished 64m2 cottage also offers excellent potential as extra accommodation or an income-generating unit once completed.

Water security is exceptional: a 144-metre borehole delivers 4,000 litres of drinkable water per hour, and the home is fitted with infrared and osmosis filtration. In addition, there is 50,000 litres of rainwater storage, both in underground reservoirs and tanks. Satellite internet keeps you connected, and the property is serviced by 3-phase Eskom power.

For those seeking a sustainable lifestyle, the farm includes two large tunnels, a third slightly smaller tunnel, and a fourth greenhouse for seed germination — currently used for microgreens. A small avo orchard has been planted for future harvests, and even the chickens are included should you wish to continue the homestead feeling.

Parts of the forest have recently been cleared, offering the possibility to convert areas into grazing land, and within the natural woodland you’ll discover a charming oak tree grove and a creative outdoor shower tucked amongst the trees — adding to the magical atmosphere this property is known for.

Perfectly located, this serene retreat is 12 km from Sedgefield and only 7.5 km from the N2, accessed via the Barrington Road.

If you’re looking for peaceful forest living, privacy, water security and the potential for sustainable farming — this rare Elandskraal offering will capture your heart.
