Nestled in the picturesque Boschkloof Valley, at the foot of the majestic Cederberg Mountains and just 9 km northeast of Clanwilliam, this exceptional lifestyle farm enjoys a tranquil setting on the banks of the Jan Dissels River. Offering a rare combination of refined country living and established income-generating potential, this unique property presents an outstanding investment opportunity in one of the Western Cape’s most scenic regions.
The main residence and all the self-catering accommodation were originally restored under the direction of renowned architect Gilbert Colyn. The buildings, already rich in heritage at over two centuries old, were thoughtfully reimagined with exceptional craftsmanship and enduring design principles, reflecting both quality and lasting character.
Spanning 3.856 hectares, the farm includes approximately 2.6 hectares of productive citrus orchards comprising Navel and Valencia varieties. The fertile soils and ideal climate contribute to consistently high-quality yields. The farm produces an impressive annual citrus harvest, which is supplied to a local packing agent, creating a reliable income stream.
In addition to citrus production, the farm is home to a variety of established fruit and nut trees, including pecans, pears, mangoes, olives, papayas, apples, and avocados, further enhancing both the property's agricultural diversity and lifestyle appeal.
Water security is a significant asset, with registered water rights of 40,000 m³ sourced from a furrow fed by the Jan Dissels River. Advanced filtration systems and pumps efficiently support both the farming operations and guest accommodation facilities.
