63.8 ha Farm in Sedgefield Outlying
AN EXCEPTIONAL GARDEN ROUTE LIFESTYLE PROPERTY WITH HOOGEKRAAL RIVER FRONTAGE
- A remarkable riverside property offering multiple homes, cottages, glamping accommodation, extensive natural surroundings and exceptional versatility between Knysna and Sedgefield.
This property is offered on a Dual Mandate.
On the north-western portion of the farm 13ha, bordering the Hoogekraal River, an established cluster of cottages and glamping units creates a peaceful riverside retreat. The property also features 40 secure storage units and an existing roadside building with potential for a country-style farm stall.
The Riverside Accommodation - 13ha The main riverhouse of approximately 119m² offers two generous en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area, and a full-length verandah with uninterrupted river views. Additional features include gas geysers and cookers, a shared 5kW solarinverter system, a 5,000-litre water tank and a double carport.
The second riverhouse offers a similarly relaxed lifestyle, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, an open-plan living area and a verandah overlooking the river. It also features gas utilities, a shared 5kW solarinverter system, a 5,000-litre water tank and a single carport.
Along the riverbank, two luxury four-sleeper glamping tents and a cosy two-sleeper wooden cottage extend the accommodation options. Each has its own en-suite bathroom, kitchen and covered verandah, allowing residents and guests to enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings.
These units are supplied through the off-grid solarinverter system from the main house, supported by additional 5,000-litre water tanks. Together, this section offers a distinctive riverside setting, with accommodation suited to extended families, visiting friends and those seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.
The South-Western Portion - 54ha The larger south-western portion adds considerable space and diversity, with flat and undulating land, forested pockets, a near-complete dam in a natural ravine and additional river-facing accommodation.
Two one-bedroom, one-bathroom river cottages each feature open-plan kitchen and living areas, with sliding doors opening onto verandahs overlooking the water.
Both cottages are equipped with solarinverter power, gas geysers and cookers, and dedicated water storage. A notable feature of this section is the established bank of 40 X storage units, arranged in two neat rows of 20. The units are secure, well-maintained and monitored by CCTV, providing a substantial existing storage facility within the property.
Near the Karatara Road entrance, a solid roadside building of approximately - 120m² offers an opportunity to establish a charming country destination, whether as a farm stall, fresh-produce shop, nursery, craft space or countryside caf. Although the building requires upgrading, its accessible roadside position makes it particularly well suited to a variety of possible uses.
The Leased Equestrian Section - 51ha Across the road, a further 51ha is currently leased to an established tenant operating a professional horse-breeding programme with export capability. The lease expires on 31 May 2029, and the tenant has already expressed interest in extending the arrangement, leaving future decisions to the new owner.
Although this section is described as vacant land, it includes two existing structures. The main homestead is a well-maintained two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence of approximately 220m², featuring a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, beautiful valley and river views, solarinverter power and a carport.
An older labourer''s cottage near the Karatara access road provides an additional structure that could be renovated. Water infrastructure includes two boreholes and a water spike delivering several hours of flow per day.
The natural surroundings are equally impressive, with forest trails, grazing fields, varied terrain and a ravine-based dam that is approximately 90 complete. Natural water channels run through the landscape, while the combination of open fields, forests and undulating hills creates an attractive environment for walking, exploring and enjoying the outdoors.
A Property with Remarkable Lifestyle Versatility Taken together, the three sections offer an unusual combination of riverside living, multiple residential dwellings, glamping accommodation, extensive natural surroundings, storage facilities and an established equestrian landscape.
The property lends itself to a variety of lifestyle possibilities, including a private family estate, multi-generational living, a countryside retreat, an equestrian property or a peaceful sanctuary for those who appreciate space and nature.
With forests, hills, open grassland and stretches of river frontage, Nostalgia Farm is one of the most visually striking and versatile lifestyle holdings between Knysna and Sedgefield. Large Garden Route properties offering this combination of natural beauty, accommodation, water infrastructure and privacy are increasingly difficult to find.
This is far more than a farm. It is a private estate in the making - a place where families can gather, guests can unwind and nature becomes part of everyday living.
