“It’s a little bit like standing in front of a canvas, face to face with the works of J.H. Pierneef, when arriving. An evocative wave of nostalgia taps you on the shoulder and reacquaints you with a visual of home. Whether you’ve lived there or not. A familial embrace from those forefathers that built the farm. You know, instantaneously, that you are exactly where you need to be, with all of those that you get to share this riverside hideaway with, for all of the days to come.” Just one of the comments heard from someone that visited the beautiful property. This 6 bedroom Cape Dutch farm-style thatched roof property is perched on a hill and overlooks the Goukou River as it lazily snakes down to the sea, a mere 7 kilometers from the. Surrounded by fynbos, it invites a multitude of birds to visit. The center of town and the with all its amenities and the main beach is close enough for a quick visit, yet still far enough for you to experience complete peace and quiet when you are at home. A servitude path off the R305 takes you down to the property and on the way there you will pass free roaming Springbok on the neighboring farm and hear a cacophony of birdsong. A 300m stretch of river frontage belongs to you and all you need to choose is whether you want to swim, kayak, paddleboard or do some catch-and-release fishing. There is a small moor for your boat and permission have been given for a small cabin to be constructed by the riverside. Sunset and sunrise on the river are spectacular. If you enjoy offroad cycling, explore the farm on your bicycle while working up an appetite before breakfast.
