3.7 ha Farm in Wilderness Outlying

There are properties that impress you with their features, and then there are places that make you feel something the moment you arrive. This exceptional 3.67-hectare smallholding, situated between Wilderness and Sedgefield, is most certainly the latter.

Perched on the edge of the coastal cliffs with magnificent views over the ocean and beach below, the property lies within a protected coastal conservancy where indigenous and endemic fynbos remains beautifully intact and there is no invasive vegetation. Here, nature is not something you simply look at it becomes part of everyday life. Bushbuck are regular visitors, whales and dolphins can be watched from the property, and the peace and quiet create the wonderful feeling that time has somehow slowed down.

At the edge of the property, where the Park Board land begins, a cosy hot-water tub and bench have been positioned overlooking the beach and ocean. It is a remarkable spot to sit quietly and watch whales and dolphins moving through the water below. The current owner is also a paraglider and has established a take-off and landing spot on the cliff overlooking the ocean another reflection of the extraordinary lifestyle this setting offers.

The Main House Approximately 400sqm

The main residence has been positioned to make the most of its spectacular surroundings. Ocean views dominate the southern side, while the Outeniqua Mountains form a beautiful backdrop to the north. From the bedrooms, you can quite literally lie in bed and watch the sea life beyond.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each bedroom opens onto its own balcony, with views either towards the ocean or across the landscape to the Outeniqua Mountains.

Downstairs, a versatile fourth room is currently used as a TV room but could equally serve as a fourth bedroom or study. A third bathroom is conveniently positioned alongside it.

The heart of the home is the generous open-plan lounge, dining room and modern kitchen. A fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere, while large sliding doors open the living spaces in both directions. To the ocean side, they embrace those incredible coastal views, while to the north they lead onto a wooden entertainment deck and sparkling swimming pool.

The kitchen is complemented by a separate scullery and laundry, which leads directly into the double garage. The home offers excellent finishes throughout, with thoughtful extras including automated roller blinds.

On the southern side of the house, a veranda leads down into the enclosed garden surrounding the residence. This fenced area allows dogs to enjoy the outdoors without wandering into the surrounding natural landscape while also helping to keep wildlife out of the garden. A lovely boma with built-in seating creates an inviting place to gather around the fire on summer evenings.

Approximately 240m² of paving provides generous space around the garage area.

Second Dwelling, Large Shed & Workshop Approximately 300sqm

Set away from the main residence is a substantial second dwelling incorporated into an exceptionally spacious shed. Far more than a small cottage, this is comfortable, house-sized accommodation with its own covered veranda for relaxed outdoor living.

Inside is a spacious open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen, together with two well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The accommodation interleads directly into the large shed and workshop. An extra-high garage door allows for the storage of a substantial boat or motorhome, with ample additional space for vehicles and a workshop. A loft room above is currently used for storage.

On the opposite side of the workshop is another self-contained unit, currently considered staff accommodation. It offers an open-plan sleepingliving area with kitchenette, a separate bathroom and its own covered veranda overlooking an enclosed outdoor area.

Both sides of the shed have enclosed garden spaces, ideal for keeping pets safely contained while helping to prevent wildlife from entering the garden areas.

Completely Off-Grid Living

The property has been established for independent, off-grid living.

The main house is powered by a 5kVA inverter with approximately 10kVA of battery storage, while the shed and second dwelling have their own 5kVA inverter and approximately 7kVA of battery storage.

Approximately 50,000 litres of rainwater storage is positioned between the two dwellings, supplemented by a borehole shared with the neighbouring property. Fibre internet is available at both dwellings, allowing this wonderfully secluded lifestyle to remain connected when required.

A servitude road runs along the upper boundary of the property to provide access to the neighbouring property. Importantly, it is situated well away from both dwellings and the private living areas.

A Lifestyle That Is Difficult to Replicate

What makes this property truly special cannot be measured only in hectares, bedrooms or infrastructure.

It is waking to the ocean stretching out in front of you. It is watching dolphins from your bedroom and whales from the cliff. It is sitting in a hot-water tub above the beach, evenings around the boma fire, bushbuck moving quietly through the surrounding fynbos and the Outeniqua Mountains rising behind you.

With no invasive vegetation and surrounded by indigenous and endemic coastal fynbos, the property has retained the natural character that makes this stretch of coastline so extraordinary.

You can access the beach with a currently slightly overgrown path that goes down to the beach.

Private, peaceful and completely off-grid, yet conveniently positioned between Wilderness and Sedgefield, this is a place where life moves at a different pace.

A rare coastal sanctuary where the luxury lies not only in the home, but in the privilege of living so completely immersed in nature.
