11 ha Farm in Robertson Outlying

A Landmark Property with Destination Potential

Exclusive Sole Mandate

Tucked just off Route 62 near Robertson lies a truly unique property with a rich and inspiring past.

An iconic train already a recognized local landmark sits on the property, offering exceptional visibility and branding potential.

Known as the Gospel Express, this one-of-a-kind retreat began in the early 1990s when a passionate Anglican minister and his wife transformed a retired train into a vibrant community space.

At the time lovingly restored, the train evolved into 11 coaches featuring accommodation, dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, workshops, and even a chapel. Over the years, the property expanded to include a large hall, gardens, and additional living spaces, hosting countless groups for retreats and gatherings.

Steeped in history and character, and enhanced by the addition of a beautifully restored vintage steam locomotive, this landmark offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive piece of the Western Cape.

The steam locomotive is a Class 15CA 2828 and is owned by Transnet. It can not be sold and needs to be maintained in good condition.

While the train requires restoration, its character and position create an exciting foundation for a boutique guesthouse, themed accommodation, coffee stop, or tourist attraction. With the existing weekend tourist train operating in the area, this property opens the door to collaboration and destination tourism.

Ideal for a buyer with vision, creativity and a passion for experiential hospitality.

This is not just land its a story waiting to be revived.
