This ideal lifestyle farm is situated 9 km northeast of Clanwilliam in the unspoiled Boschkloof Valley which borders the Cederberg Wilderness Area. The breathtaking backdrop of high cliffs as well as scenic mountain ranges provides an idyllic ambiance.
The farm is 3.856 Ha in size and consists of 2.6 Ha citrus (Navels and Valencias).
Buildings consist of a 2-bedroom (each with an en-suite bathroom), Cape Dutch thatch main dwelling, another outside building (called the studio) next to the main house which can be converted into two separate apartments, and an outside building that accommodates a triple door garage, laundry, and storage room.
Well-known Architect Gilbert Colyn restored the old farm buildings into three upmarket Cape Dutch style thatch 4-star self-catering cottages which are situated amongst the citrus orchards giving it a green oasis look. These cottages named Die Stal (Ex Stable) accommodate 4-6 people, Ou Huis (Flagship cottage) which accommodates 4-5 people and Waenhuis (former wagon shed) accommodates 2-4 people, are well furnished, fully equipped kitchens, full bathrooms, separate showers, air conditioning, TV and access to Wifi. The cottages are marketed on various online booking platforms such as Booking, Lekkerslaap, and Airbnb, and a good income is derived from bookings.
There is a swimming pool situated amongst the citrus orchard and the gardens are well-kept with plenty of large trees which add to a unique setting. Staff accommodation for two families is provided.
The farm has 40 000 m registered water usage rights from the Jan Dissels River from where water is fed through furrows to the surrounding farms. Water is extracted directly from the furrow and goes through four filters before it enters the dwellings. The farm has one big pump for the orchards and a small pump for the dwellings. There are also two backup pumps for both sizes pumps. The water quality is very good. The average annual rainfall is 369 mm.
Eskom is supplemented with a generator (70 kVA) which is installed next to the main house as backup during load-shedding.
The linen, washing machines, tumble dryer, and furniture of the cottages are included in the sale.
This is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
