PROPERTY OVERVIEW
This exceptional 47.1093-hectare lifestyle farm is being offered for sale by auction in the sought-after Humansdorp district, just minutes from town and within easy reach of Jeffreys Bay, St Francis Bay and the Garden Route. Platjesdrift is the perfect off-grid escape — a weekend retreat, hobby farm, getaway destination and small livestock holding all rolled into one beautiful Eastern Cape property.
With 360-degree open views, stunning sunrises and sunsets, a high elevation position, natural water, Seekoei River water rights and small game including bushbuck sighted on the farm, this property offers a lifestyle that very few can match at this price point. It equally presents an excellent land expansion opportunity for neighbouring farmers and investors in the Kouga farming community.
