17.4 ha Smallholding in Sedgefield Outlying

Exclusive Mandate

A rare opportunity to combine peaceful country living, established accommodation and exciting tourism potential in one of the Garden Route''s most beautiful natural settings.

Situated alongside the N2, with convenient access to the surrounding coastal attractions and the beautiful Swartvlei, this approximately 17-hectare smallholding offers a wonderful combination of lifestyle, income-generating accommodation and future development possibilities.

Divided into two portions by a tarred road, the property offers two distinct opportunities that complement one another beautifully. On the approximately 6-hectare portion, the groundwork has already been laid for an exciting caravan park development, while the remaining approximately 11 hectares accommodate two charming cottages, a substantial workshop, established gardens and a small avocado orchard.

Whether your vision is to establish a tourism destination, enjoy a tranquil country lifestyle with additional income, or explore the opportunities offered by the individual portions, this property provides a versatile foundation from which to build.

Approximately 6ha Caravan Park Development with Access to Swartvlei

The approximately 6-hectare portion presents an exciting opportunity for someone looking to enter or expand within the Garden Route''s thriving tourism industry.

Considerable time, planning and investment have already gone into preparing this land for a caravan park. Extensive earthworks have been undertaken to create level areas suitable for caravan stands and associated facilities, providing a valuable head start for the next owner.

Importantly, the natural character of the property has not been lost in the process. Portions of the land remain uncleared, with beautiful established trees and indigenous bush providing a lovely natural setting and the opportunity to create a caravan park that feels connected to its surroundings.

A substantial ablution block, designed to accommodate approximately 100 people, is currently nearing completion. Water and electricity connections have already been installed to the ablution facilities.

Water supply is well catered for by a borehole approximately 21 metres deep, yielding around 7,000 litres per hour. Borehole water is supported by approximately 20,000 litres of storage capacity, while a variable-pressure pump regulates water pressure throughout the system.

The property also benefits from a three-phase Eskom electricity connection, with a reported monthly availability charge of approximately R3,500.

Further development possibilities are supported by an already approved building plan for a shed measuring 12m x 35m. A compacted and prepared area is in place for this structure, although the shed itself has not yet been erected.

One of the particularly appealing features of this portion is a 30-metre-wide strip of land running alongside the neighbouring property, providing access to the water''s edge of Swartvlei. This connection to the beautiful lake environment adds another special dimension to the potential tourism experience.

With much of the initial infrastructure and groundwork already established, this portion offers an attractive opportunity to continue developing a caravan park in a sought-after Garden Route location, subject to any outstanding approvals and development requirements.

The approximately 6-hectare caravan park portion is available at an asking price of R6,300,000, through the proposed alternative transaction structure described below.

Approximately 11ha Charming Cottages, Established Gardens and Country Living

Across the tarred road lies the remaining approximately 11 hectares, where a more established lifestyle setting awaits.

Here, two identical, north-facing cottages have been positioned near one another, surrounded by a lovingly created garden that brings warmth, colour and a wonderful sense of home to the property.

Each cottage offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with an inviting open-plan lounge and kitchen. Sliding doors from the living area open onto a north-facing verandah, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Both bedrooms also enjoy sliding-door access onto the verandah, allowing fresh country air and natural light to become part of everyday life.

The verandahs are lovely spaces to enjoy a quiet morning coffee, relax with a book or simply appreciate the peaceful surroundings.

Although identical in design, the cottages currently serve different purposes, offering an appealing balance between private living and income generation.

Main Cottage A Peaceful Place to Call Home

One of the cottages is currently used as the main residence.

Its comfortable layout, north-facing orientation and connection to the garden create an easy, relaxed living environment.

A private boma-style braai area adds to the charm, offering a wonderful spot for evenings around the fire, entertaining friends or enjoying the tranquillity of country living beneath the stars.

Second Cottage Established Airbnb Accommodation

The second cottage is currently operated as an Airbnb rental, providing an existing income-generating accommodation opportunity.

With the same two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout and north-facing verandah, it offers guests a comfortable retreat from which to enjoy the surrounding Garden Route attractions.

An outdoor shower provides a practical and welcome touch after a day at the beach, while a dedicated outdoor braai area allows guests to enjoy relaxed evenings in their own space.

The property''s convenient position near the N2 makes it particularly appealing as a base for visitors exploring the region.

Workshop, Covered Parking and Beautiful Gardens

Situated between the two cottages is a large workshop, providing valuable space for storage, hobbies, maintenance or other practical uses.

The structure also offers under-roof parking for both cottages, adding convenience and protection for vehicles.

Surrounding the accommodation is a beautifully established garden that has clearly received much love and attention over the years.

The garden softens the setting around the buildings and creates an inviting atmosphere, giving the cottages a sense of belonging within their natural surroundings.

A small orchard of 48 avocado trees has also been planted, adding an agricultural element to this versatile smallholding.

Excellent Water Infrastructure and Solar Power

Practical infrastructure is an important feature of this property, with both portions benefiting from their own water resources.

On the approximately 11-hectare cottage portion, a second borehole delivers a reported yield of approximately 9,000 litres per hour, supported by 15,000 litres of water storage capacity.

Both cottages are also equipped with their own solar power systems, providing a valuable degree of energy independence.

Each cottage is served by an 8 kwh solar system with its own inverter. The installations include two 30 kwh battery storage units in total, as reported, together with 48 solar panels across the two systems.

This substantial investment in solar infrastructure complements the property''s lifestyle and tourism appeal, while offering practical benefits for everyday living.

Two Portions Flexible Purchasing Opportunities

An especially interesting aspect of this property is the flexibility it offers prospective purchasers.

The entire approximately 17-hectare holding may be purchased as one property, providing the opportunity to combine the established cottages, Airbnb accommodation, workshop, orchard and caravan park development into a single lifestyle and tourism venture.

Alternatively, the approximately 6-hectare portion, where the caravan park is being established, is being offered at R6,300,000 through a proposed share acquisition in the relevant private company.

This alternative transaction would involve the purchase of shares in the Pty Ltd company, rather than the immediate transfer of a separately registered portion of land. The possibility of subdividing the property in future may be investigated, subject to the necessary municipal and statutory approvals.

The proposed share-sale structure would be subject to appropriate legal agreements, due diligence and confirmation of the relevant ownership arrangements. Subdivision approval is not currently guaranteed.

This provides an alternative avenue for purchasers whose primary interest lies in the caravan park development, without necessarily acquiring the entire 17-hectare holding.

A Garden Route Opportunity with Lifestyle and Vision

What makes this property particularly appealing is the combination of what has already been established and what could still be created.

There is the comfort of two welcoming cottages, the appeal of existing short-term rental accommodation, the practical advantages of substantial water and solar infrastructure, and the charm of established gardens and an avocado orchard.

Across the road, the caravan park development offers a different but equally exciting opportunity, with extensive groundwork already completed, infrastructure taking shape and access to the beautiful waters of Swartvlei.

Its position alongside the N2 provides convenient accessibility for visitors, while the surrounding natural environment offers the tranquillity and outdoor lifestyle for which the Garden Route is so well loved.

For the buyer with vision, this is more than simply a smallholding. It is an opportunity to create a destination, build on existing foundations and enjoy a lifestyle where nature, hospitality and opportunity come together.

Whether acquired as a complete 17-hectare property or through the proposed alternative transaction for the caravan park portion, this is a property worth exploring.
