20.23-Hectare Lifestyle and Equestrian Farm in Cato Ridge
Set in the peaceful countryside of Cato Ridge, with convenient access to the N3 and only minutes from Hibiscus Hospital, this exceptional 20.23-hectare lifestyle and equestrian farm combines a beautifully maintained family home with established equestrian facilities and practical farm infrastructure. The property is situated within a well-established farming community where many neighbouring families have called the area home for generations, creating a welcoming and supportive environment that adds to the appeal of country living.
Bordered by a river and surrounded by mature indigenous trees and beautifully established gardens, the property offers privacy, tranquillity and an abundance of birdlife, while remaining within easy reach of essential amenities.
The dam is both a lifestyle feature and a practical resource. Whether you're casting a line on a quiet afternoon, enjoying time with family beside the water, or making use of it as an additional water source for the farm, it is a feature that can be appreciated year-round. A lapa and braai area overlooking the dam creates a wonderful setting for entertaining while enjoying peaceful views across the water and surrounding countryside.
The farmhouse has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, with generous living spaces, abundant natural light and an effortless connection between indoors and out.
The entrance opens into a bright sunroom-style lounge area with full glass stacking doors, creating an inviting first impression and filling the space with natural light throughout the day. This versatile space provides a seamless transition between the gardens and the interior of the home, setting the tone for the warm and welcoming living spaces beyond.
The comfortable family lounge centres around a welcoming fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space during the cooler months. Sliding glass doors open directly onto the covered verandah, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow effortlessly while framing beautiful views across the established indigenous gardens and surrounding countryside.
Positioned to capture the warmth of the afternoon sun, the west-facing covered verandah becomes a natural extension of the home's living spaces. Whether entertaining family and friends, enjoying a relaxed meal outdoors or simply unwinding at the end of the day, it is the perfect place to embrace the peaceful country lifestyle while taking in spectacular sunsets.
The home also offers a spacious dining area, a modern open-plan kitchen fitted with granite countertops, a gas hob and gas oven, together with a separate pantry, scullery and laundry. A separate study provides an ideal space for working from home or could easily serve as a private library.
Designed with comfort in mind, the three spacious bedrooms each enjoy the privacy of an en-suite bathroom and offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Built-in cupboards provide ample storage, while large windows allow natural light to pour in, creating bright and comfortable spaces throughout the day. Two of the bedrooms open directly onto the patio, providing a seamless connection to the outdoors and peaceful views of the surrounding gardens.
Practical features have been carefully incorporated to enhance efficiency, sustainability and everyday convenience, including:
• Solar panels.
• JoJo water storage tanks.
• Borehole with backup water supply.
• Exceptionally low rates.
For equestrian enthusiasts, the farm offers quality facilities that cater equally well to private enjoyment or a more serious equestrian operation, including:
• Four large stables.
• Dedicated hay and feed room.
• Riding arena.
• Well-maintained paddocks.
• Undercover parking for a horsebox.
• Excellent outriding directly from the property.
Beyond the equestrian facilities, the property's open spaces and established tracks make it ideal for horse riding, mountain biking, trail running and recreational motorbike riding, offering endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and the peaceful country setting.
Additional improvements include:
• Double garage.
• Secure carports.
• Workshop.
• Implement shed.
• Staff accommodation.
• Storerooms and ample storage for tools, farm equipment and machinery.
Security has been thoughtfully integrated throughout the property with electric fencing, an internal alarm system, outdoor security beams and perimeter lighting, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful surroundings with complete peace of mind.
The fertile land, river frontage and reliable water supply provide excellent potential for a variety of agricultural pursuits, including livestock farming, aquaculture, orchards, market gardening, or simply enjoying the property as a private lifestyle farm.
Located amongst established equestrian properties and close to the Coastal Horse Care Unit, this versatile property offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a country lifestyle with quality improvements already in place.
Viewings are strictly by appointment and will be arranged exclusively for pre-approved buyers.
