Wonderful opportunity to own a beautiful, peaceful, 10ha smallholding on top of the Piketberg Mountains – where everything grows!

Add to the above a spacious timber frame homestead with spectacular views all round, an olde world cottage for renovation in a private and beautiful setting, a large workshop/garage, small Lime orchard, patch of Buchu (plenty of room for expansion), seasonal stream, wide variety of Fynbos, a kaleidoscope of wild flowers in spring, a cacophony of birdsong, and small indigenous wildlife! All in all, priceless!

Enjoy the best of both worlds – a glorious rural lifestyle, and a small-scale farming opportunity - if so inclined, or simply enjoy Mother Nature’s treasure trove in this stunning spot.

The get-together of the diverse and interesting community of locals at the famous monthly farmers market, frequented by patrons from far and wide, and the annual two-day mountain biking challenge (with over 90km of trails) are events not to be missed.

Twenty minutes down the road is the vibrant town of Piketberg.
