Fit for a king

This fabulous 40 hectare farm has much to offer.

The farmhouse already captures the imagination with two spacious living rooms arranged in linking rondavels and a farm style kitchen where you can already smell the home-made bread. There is a centre work island and lots of counter space and cupboards. A lovely breakfast room where you can enjoy your bacon and eggs completes the family space and all under thatch topped with corrugated iron cladding to keep maintenance to a minimum.

The 4 bedrooms, including a lovely large main bedroom with dressing room and a gorgeous bathroom form a separate wing and are accessed through a spacious passageway with doors opening into the garden with its super-sized pool too inviting to resist after a hard day’s work on the farm.

To add a whole different dimension to the farm, there is a fabulous events (wedding/conference) venue complete with two en suite units, a catering kitchen, a cute 'coffee shop and space for offices, storage or expansion. This building has been planned with foresight and has its own access suitable for school buses. Ideal for parties, weddings, training facility, team building, etc. The enormous, covered entertainment area overlooks the dam and surrounding paddocks and would be very easy to convert into extra accommodation, You have to see it to really appreciate it all.

Water is not in short supply and any farmer will know how critical that is. The farm has two dams fed by a spring and there are two boreholes as well.

There are a range of outbuildings and sheds, including staff accommodation, all of which could be adapted for your needs, whether it be storage of raw products, processing, packaging and warehousing of finished goods. Two buildings are vermin proofed. The living areas are surrounded by an electric fence with auto gate. Electricity is directly from Eskom.

The 40 hectares of land offer diverse options and is currently a mix of open grassland, coffee tree plantation, paddocks and even includes a small newly planted indigenous forest, carefully laid out to be used as a car park. The farm currently has a few horses, cows and sheep but historically the farm was a cattle farm as well a horse property.

Three staff rooms were recently built as well as a nursery under shade cloth for the protection of young plants. There are a few stables for your horses, as well as rental income from a Transnet tower on the boundary.

Situated in a small farming community just 3 kilometers along a sand road (cul de sac) from the R103, this farm is in just the perfect position. The N3 is as short distance away (approx 5 kilometers) either way along the R103 and you will find your local Spar, hardware store, bottle store, chemist and a few other shops at Cato Ridge.

Could this be the next home to your growing herd of Nguni cattle, or maybe it's time for the horses to return? Could your leaning be towards events - weddings, concerts, music festivals? The options are so many and with a little imagination could become your piece of paradise.
