22 ha Farm in Dargle
A Rare Find in the Heart of the Dargle - Solitude Retreat
Set in the beautiful Dargle valley, this 22-hectare property offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and natural beauty. With wide, uninterrupted views, abundant birdlife, and unspoiled surroundings, its a place where life slows down and nature takes centre stage.
Approximately two-thirds of the land is pristine grassland, ideal for grazing and preserving the rich biodiversity of the area. Situated within a conservancy, wildlife moves freely across the landscape, adding to the sense of peace and connection to nature.
The main farmhouse is positioned separately from the cottages, ensuring privacy. It features four bedrooms, including a spacious upstairs room with elevated views across the valley. Oregon pine floors, a cozy fireplace, and a warm, welcoming layout create a comfortable country home. The patio and pool overlook the valley, offering the perfect setting to relax and take in the scenery.
Three self-contained cottages are set around a picturesque dam, each privately positioned and surrounded by natural vegetation. The cottages are fully equipped with their own entrances, allowing guests to enjoy independence while still feeling connected to the property. Two cottages offer three bedrooms one with two bathrooms, the other with one, while the third cottage has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each enjoys peaceful views over the dam and grasslands, with verandahs and relaxed living spaces designed for easy country living.
The cottages have been well enjoyed over the years by returning visitors, extended families, and small groups drawn to the quiet setting and proximity to the Midlands Meander, offering a wonderful opportunity for those looking to continue sharing the space or simply accommodate family and friends.
In total, the property offers 12 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, providing flexibility for a variety of lifestyle needs.
Located just 20 minutes from Howick and Hilton, the property offers a peaceful rural setting without sacrificing convenience. With reliable water sources, rainwater tanks, a grey water system, and both solar and electric geysers, it is well set up for sustainable living.
Solitude is a place defined by quiet elegance where the landscape, the light, and the stillness invite reflection and a slower, more considered pace of life.
