The Heart of the Estate: The Main Farmhouse
At the core of this retreat stands a sprawling main farmhouse, wrapped in a generous veranda that invites you to unwind amid nature’s embrace. Inside, expansive living spaces unfold— lounge, dining room, and a cozy family room, all
bathed in natural light. The open-plan kitchen flows effortlessly into a utility room, which accommodates the appliances and storage. Three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, two boasting jacuzzi baths for ultimate relaxation. Secure parking for three vehicles completes this picture of rural refinement.
A Lucrative Retreat: Three Self-Catering Cottages
Elevated to capture the landscape’s splendor, 3 well designed self-catering cottages provide a steady passive income, booked 90% of the year. Two semi-detached units, each with two bedrooms, feature open-plan living with crackling fireplaces for crisp winter nights, modern kitchens, and sprawling patios that blur the line between indoors and out. A separate guest toilet adds convenience, and the flexible layout allows these units to merge into a four-bedroom haven for larger families.
Then there’s the crown jewel: the Honeymoon Suite. Perched with spellbinding views over rolling farmlands and twin dams, this romantic escape offers seclusion and serenity. All three cottages are wheelchair-friendly, sold fully furnished, and ready to delight guests—or new owners—from day one.
A Working Farm with Endless Possibility
This estate is as practical as it is picturesque. A massive 500m² shed houses farm equipment and doubles as a workshop, while a dedicated generator building powers a 60kW system, courtesy of Comsol, an internet provider with a tower on-site. High-speed Wi-Fi blankets the farmhouse and cottages, blending rural charm with modern connectivity. Water security is unmatched—105,000 liters stored in 20 JoJo tanks, harvested from rainwater, supply the house, cottages, and staff quarters, supplemented by a 50,000-liter concrete reservoir. Two staff accommodations with a shared bathroom ensure smooth operations.
Nature’s Playground: Wildlife, Water, and Trails

For the avid angler, two stocked trout dams beckon, their glassy surfaces reflecting the sky. Mountain bike trails wind through the terrain, thrilling enthusiasts, while hiking paths unveil the farm’s hidden corners. This is a place where every day offers a new adventure.
