Property description

Dual mandate

If you ever wondered what Paradise looks like, you don't need to worry any more. Come and look and experience this property to know what I mean. 96 ha of mostly indigenous fynbos and vegetation makes you understand the real meaning of the words " The Garden of Eden" Not only one river runs through it, but two. The Karatara river indicates the Western boundary whilst a smaller ravine mouths into the Karatara river and runs through the valley on the Southern side of the property. This is not your typical farm property as the untouched indigenous bush and vegetation lies over the valleys that forms part of this property. Hidden away from all that you want to hide from, you can finally find the peaceful tranquility that only this type of property can offer you.  

The current improvements include the following:

Main cottage is a quaint artist cottage with one bedroom with a slipper bath in the corner and a separate bathroom where you still feel you are in nature when you use the shower. A separate guest loo with toilet and bidet completes the sleeping quarters, whilst the cosy kitchen has a easy to light pellet fireplace that creates the ambience and heat while you cook up a storm in this little farm kitchen. The lounge opens up with double doors onto a lovely deck with spectacular views. When you spend time on the deck, you feel like you are on top of the world.....looking down on creation:-) 

The built braai and Lapa area is situated a very short distance from the cottage and allows you to braai even when it rains. Right next to the Lapa braai they have got a lovely Croquet field on an unreal stretch of lawn. This would most definitely be one of the best spots to build a main house should you need a bigger home. The fruit trees and vine is all planted in this area. You even find an old outside "longdrop" toilet hidden away in the bushes.

Outside the cottage is a carport with a storage area that you could use for a workshop if you like. The slab (foundation) of a workshop that was previously there can also be used to extend this. The storeroom has the solar system with an inverter and battery stored safely as well. Eskom electricity is still connected and gets used as backup for the 3KVA solar system. They still have a 3-phase connection ,should you prefer to use it. The geyser is electric/solar . They have a borehole that fills a big reservoir at the entrance of the property and this serves all the irrigation and firehose points that you will see every 50 to 100meters down the driveway to the cottage. You can also fill the water tanks at the cottage with this water should there be a very dry spell, but they have been using rainwater alone for years for the household and drinking purposes. The rainwater tanks around the house holds approximate 6600liter storage. 

The small built chapel creates a place where you can talk to your Creator or meditate on the beauty of your surroundings. 

The 2 bedroomed laborer's cottage with one bathroom and open plan lounge and kitchen has a lovely fireplace in the kitchen and a small verandah facing the northern side. Just another place on this property where you can sit and admire the beautiful and magestic Outeniqua Mountain range. The cottage has a chicken coupe in the backyard with wendy house as a garden shed. In the front there is a small built braai area. This cottage has a charm of its own and is situated across the road from the fenced and netted in veggie garden where you can plant your household veggies. 

The surveillance cameras at the entrance where you come through the automated gate not only gives you peace of mind as far as security is concerned, but I am sure catches a few shots of wildlife that you can only dream of witnessing. In this wild untouched area you should be able to witness quite a lot of wild animals you will not see in more built up areas. Birds, plants and animals are completing the picture of perfection to the property.
