Main Farmhouse (±400 m², built 1925) is a beautiful wraparound farmhouse with 3.2-meter ceilings, original Oregon floors, sash windows, and exposed beams. The 17 meters by 7-meter open living area combines the lounge, dining room and kitchen, and features a large fireplace. The house includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a dedicated office. Outside, there is an eco-pool, a pond, fruit trees, nuts, herbs and medicinal gardens. It is an established, warm, heritage home with a peaceful setting.

There is also an Indoor Pool Building. This structure has been converted into an indoor pool area using preserved old beams. Renovations have started, with the intention of linking it to the rest of the erf. It offers excellent potential for a wellness center or recreational space.
Let me give you an estate overview:
The entire estate spans 800 hectares, with the following features:
40 hectares of arable land with water rights
The rest of the land is designated for conservation
The property is off grid
Part of the land is a proclaimed freehold nature reserve
The zoning includes Open Space 1 and Resort Zone 2
There is a commonage area which will eventually be transferred to homeowners within the eco-village
The three erven were recently transferred into a new company, making the transaction straightforward
The current owner and his wife are currently caretaking the property, ensuring good maintenance and smooth transition for new owners.
This property offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a large eco-village and freehold nature reserve. It brings together a unique combination of historic heritage buildings, arable land supported by secure water rights, and extensive conservation areas that protect the natural environment. The estate is fully off grid, creating a sustainable lifestyle opportunity with very low ecological impact. In addition to its residential and agricultural potential, the property also offers significant scope for development, including tourism ventures, wellness and retreat facilities, educational initiatives, regenerative farming, or the creation of an exclusive private estate.
This offering will appeal to buyers who value land, tranquility, natural beauty and the opportunity to develop within a responsible ecological framework.
The seller is open to selling two erven, or the entire estate comprising all three erven together with the company. Selling the company streamlines the transfer process and supports the original eco-village vision. The property is marketed on a Price on Application basis due to the scale and flexibility of the offering.
