Farm in Montagu

Eden, her name carrying the depth of stillness and a reminder of what is eternal. To step onto her grounds is to enter a living presenceone that is felt before it is seen. She is not only land, not only home, but a sanctuary that breathes with you.

She rests gently at the foot of the Langeberg mountains, sheltered and strong, her gaze stretching across the land until it meets the seven distant mountain ranges. The air is pure, carrying the subtle scent of fynbos. Above, a hawk circles in the wide sky, while as night falls, the low call of an owl threads through the silence, joined by the gentle chorus of crickets and the distant song of frogs. Around you, the land stirs with lifethe buck, wide-eyed and shy, emerging cautiously from behind the bushes a tortoise, deliberate and unhurried, making its slow journey across the grass a porcupine foraging through the undergrowth a mongoose lifting its head curiously above the brush before darting swiftly past and francolins conversing, rustling through the grass in soft, secretive calls. Eden is abundant, yet unhurried.

When the sun rises and sets, the sky paints her anew each timesoft pastels, deep golds, or fire-lit crimsonwhile shifting weather patterns transform the land into ever-changing canvases, both dramatic and subtle. And when night deepens, the stars unfurl across the heavens in dazzling clarity, a reminder of the vastness of which you are a part.

The water you drinkdrawn from a mountain spring 3 kilometres awayis crisp and alive, carrying with it the purity of untouched earth. Here, time loosens its grip. The noise of the world falls away. What remains is the steady pulse of something eternalmystical, grounding, alive.

Nestled within the sweeping landscape of 60 hectares, this lifestyle dwelling welcomes light, air, and the rhythms of the land, each corner imbued with care, creativity, and intention.

Perched gracefully on the upper level, the main residence unfolds in quiet harmony with her surroundings. Three generously sized bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, open through stacker doors onto the expansive wraparound patio, inviting the mountains and sky to breathe inside. The open-plan living area draws in the vastness of the landscape with double-volume ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a seamless flow between lounge, dining, and kitchen. The kitchen, adorned with solid rosewood cabinetry, balances beauty and function, while the scullery and walk-in pantry ensure comfort and ease in everyday life.

A separate TV room, warmed by a freestanding fireplace, offers a private retreat, while a gym area extends effortlessly to a rear patio framed by nature. Every finish has been thoughtfully curatedfrom Jerusalem stone tiles, rosewood cabinetry, skirting boards, and doorframes, to handcrafted copper taps and exposed piping, lending a timeless, subtle industrial soul. The master suite, a sanctuary within a sanctuary, presents a freestanding stone bath, underfloor heating, and direct patio accessa haven of peace and stillness.

Beneath the main residence, spaces for creativity abound: a generous artists studio formerly a six-car garage, a photographic studio, an artist washroom housing the solar system, and ample storage. Adjacent, a flatlet with its own private garden opens through stacker doors onto magnificent mountain views. This serene space, comprising a passage, a separate room adaptable as an office, an open-plan main bedroom, lounge, dining area, and a solid white-washed wood kitchen, offers a peaceful retreat for guests or a rental opportunity.

Just above the main home, a wooden cottage rests gently on the hillside, featuring an undercover deck with splendid, uninterrupted views. Currently serving as staff accommodation, it includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen, dining, and loungea charming and versatile space infused with warmth and character.

The land itself is abundant and deeply nourishingwith fruit trees, vegetable patches, a small tunnel greenhouse, and landscapes rich in native fynbos. Five 5,000-litre water tanks ensure plentiful water from the mountain spring, filtered and ready to sustain.

Eden is not just a property. She is a feeling. A return. A soulful invitation to reconnectwith nature, creativity, and self.
