28.7 ha Farm in Prince Albert

Superb country retreat. Some properties are bought for their buildings. Others are bought for their land. And then, occasionally, a property offers something much harder to find: space, water, privacy, beauty and the freedom to live differently.

My Shire Karoo Farm is one of those places. Set across 28.72 hectares in the magnificent Weltevrede Valley near Prince Albert, the property is surrounded by mountains, enormous skies and the extraordinary stillness of the Karoo.

Mornings begin beneath vast blue skies, the mountains turn gold in the late-afternoon light, and after dark the Karoo sky becomes a ceiling of stars. Yet My Shire offers far more than a beautiful setting.

A SELF-SUFFICIENT KAROO RETREAT

The property has been developed around comfortable country living and genuine off-grid independence. Domestic power is supplied by a solar system with a backup generator.

One of the property''s most valuable assets is its groundwater resource. Two boreholes supply excellent-quality water and have the potential to pump approximately 40,000 litres per day when fitted with larger-capacity pumps.

In the Karoo, access to excellent-quality groundwater is an important advantage and a significant feature of My Shire.

THE HOMESTEAD

At the heart of the property is an inviting, unpretentious three-bedroom country home designed for relaxed Karoo living. Comfortable and authentic, it feels entirely at ease in its surroundings.
