1.7 ha Farm in Hogsback
[removed] Charming Forest Retreat with Historic Soul
Set in the heart of Hogsback, a place long celebrated for its magic, mist, and mountain beauty, this property offers a rare blend of nature, history, and charm with great potential as a retreat. Surrounded by extraordinary trees cherries, apples, pears, Japanese maples, chestnuts, figs, and lemons the land also nurtures wild strawberries and medicinal plants and bushes, creating a natural sanctuary. A small pond, natural stream, and Australian water tank further enrich the landscape.
The main house features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and a welcoming open-plan living space with a fireplace, seamlessly connected to the kitchen. A separate cottage with 1 bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and fireplace is ideal as a rental opportunity or private guest retreat.
Additional amenities include two storerooms, a garage, and a thriving vegetable garden perfect for a self-sufficient lifestyle. The roof is ideal for solar panels
Beautifully positioned, the property is close enough to town for convenience yet far enough to enjoy peace, privacy, and freedom from the hustle and bustle. It receives sunshine throughout the day and is one of the first to welcome the snow in winter, creating a serene seasonal wonderland. Once home to an Italian WWII pilot, it carries a legacy of history and love in every corner.
A true Hogsback treasure, offering both everyday comfort and the enchantment of living in one of South Africas most magical destinations.
AJT Cook wrote a tourist brochure and poignantly expressed what all who have been to Hogsback feel: There is a magic about Hogsback which cannot be reduced to cold print but which steals away the hearts of those who visit it so that they come back year after year to recapture their first love.
