The Property:
  • 4.3 Ha with 2 Ha water rights (app 13m l/month) with 3 dams and 1 borehole (10 000 l/hr).
  • 25Kva Eskom transformer (3 phase).
  • 700m2 currently under cultivation (organic, green permaculture vegetables).
  • New irrigation infrastructure ongoing.
  • Fully fenced (4 access control points tbc).
  • New pre-school 500m away on the farm next door (direct access/ walking distance) – Lighthouse Academy.
  • 4kms from Villiersdorp, 35kms from Franschhoek, 35kms from Greyton, 50kms to Caledon, 50kms to Worcester etc.
  • 5kms from the Theewaters Sports Club (directly across the water and 1km as the crow flies)
  • 1km from the Theewaterskloof Golf Club
 
Considerations/ opportunities:
 
  • Convert the current stable into a large, secure family home or guest rental.
  • Possible to extend the homestead easily and add very cost-effective value, and also very easily extend the current patio facing bedrooms into two self-catering units/ separate entrance Airbnb accommodation. 
  • Full 2m electric fence around the above homestead portion, and security cameras to be installed site-wide.
  • Huge landscaped gardens and forested areas with 3 dams.
  • Investment into the above for long term income streams, amongst other opportunities for income such as market garden, processing of and adding value to produce, and medicinal plant extracts.
  • Commercial component of dual conference/ healing/ activity center/ farming support.
  • Lifestyle activity opportunities (supping/ kayaking/ foiling/ mountain biking routes etc.).
  • Services will be installed, landscaping and roads, communal structures will be built to compliment and support the above.
 
 
  • A possibility exists to purchase the land / homestead outright for R15m (ex-Vat) inclusive of an off grid, double storey 8 roomed, 3 bed, 2 bath homestead (more images on request) and large stable – 3 phase lithium solar system and full security – VAT registered – property held in a company, and all equipment and machinery (tractors, digger loader, implements such as thrasher, rotovator, wood chipper, trailers) along with a fully furnished (optional) home.
 
 
  • If an interest in permaculture / property management/ business ownership experience exists then this would be preferable if the option to invest and live on the estate is taken up (possible involvement in the operation tbd).
  • Strict lifestyle requirements for a live-on estate partner/ investor (Stable Conversion Opportunity).
