43 ha Farm in Bathurst Outlying

Some properties offer space. Others offer opportunity. This one offers both, wrapped in the timeless beauty and character of the Settler country.

Set amongst the rolling countryside near the historic village of Bathurst, this exceptional 43-hectare smallholding is made up of three separate title deeds, comprising approximately 26.6 hectares, 13.3 hectares and 3.9 hectares. Perfectly positioned between country living and coastal convenience, the property is within easy reach of Port Alfred and Grahamstown, offering access to schools, sporting facilities, shops, the coast and the rich history of the area.

At the heart of the property stands a beautifully restored and extended farmhouse where old-world character meets comfortable country living. High pressed metal ceilings, warm Oregon pine floors and charming antique doors tell the story of the home''s heritage, while generous living spaces make it ideal for modern family life.

The home offers five bedrooms, with additional accommodation potential through two cottages. Wide verandahs invite you to slow down and take in the views across the surrounding countryside, while the cosy lounge, complete with a fireplace, creates the perfect retreat on cooler winter evenings. A sheltered braai area, conveniently located near the eat-in kitchen, makes entertaining family and friends effortless.

For those who enjoy working with their hands, creating or simply having space to pursue hobbies, the property offers an abundance of practical infrastructure. There is a single garage leading into the home, workshops, storage areas, sheds and additional garage space.

A Property Designed for Country Living

The land has been thoughtfully divided into eight well-fenced camps, making it suitable for cattle, horses, goats or sheep. Each camp is equipped with water troughs, while approximately 40 hectares offer grazing consisting of Mooiriver mixed grass and natural sweet grass.

Water is one of the property''s great assets. A natural spring provides a reliable year-round water supply to the home and camps. Additional water infrastructure includes a large underground rainwater tank and several freestanding tanks, with water pumped to the home and growing areas.

Three shade-cloth tunnels near the house provide the foundation for a nursery or agricultural venture, creating an opportunity to generate an income from the property. Whether your vision includes small-scale farming, a nursery, livestock, accommodation or simply a self-sufficient country lifestyle, there is room here for that vision to grow.

Further infrastructure includes a loading ramp, crush, multiple sheds and garages, as well as a four-room cottage requiring renovation, offering additional potential for accommodation or rental income.
