Holly Hogs is one of those rare Hogsback farms that immediately makes you slow down and breathe deeper. Set high up on the mountain in the snow belt, with far-reaching views stretching across the landscape, this exceptional off-grid property offers a level of peace, beauty and functionality that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Completely independent from Eskom, the farm has been carefully designed for comfortable self-sustainable living, with a full solar system, rainwater harvesting tanks and all the infrastructure already in place. This is not a property that still needs work or vision. Everything here has been thoughtfully laid out, exceptionally well maintained and fully functional. It truly is a plug-in-and-play farm lifestyle opportunity.
The atmosphere on the farm is something special. A beautiful water feature brings the gentle sound of trickling water through the gardens, while the surrounding birdlife fills the air with constant natural song. Ducks and chickens roam through the formal farm gardens, adding to the authentic charm and peaceful rhythm of country living. Every section of the property feels intentional, balanced and in harmony with its surroundings.
The spacious main residence offers three generous en-suite bedrooms, a study, wet room and a huge open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen designed for easy living and comfort. Double-glazed windows and combustion fireplaces create warmth throughout the colder mountain months, while the overall design of the home lends itself perfectly to both family living and relaxed entertaining.
In addition to the main home, there are two beautifully finished one-bedroom cottages, each with their own fireplace, ideal for guest accommodation, Airbnb income or extended family living.
The farm itself has been created with both practicality and lifestyle in mind. Much of the land is wonderfully level, something incredibly valuable in Hogsback, with no steep drops or difficult terrain to navigate. Toward the back of the property, the grounds open into natural wild grasslands, ideal for grazing cattle, sheep, horses or even goats, with fencing already well-suited for livestock.
Additional features include a double garage, four-vehicle carport, solar and gas geysers, more than 100 established cherry and fruit trees, a huge productive growing tunnel for year-round cultivation and fully fenced grounds offering both privacy and security.
Private, peaceful and completely immersed in nature, Holly Hogs feels worlds away from the noise and rush of everyday life. It is a fully operational off-grid farm where everything needed for a sustainable mountain lifestyle is already in place. A property designed around ease, comfort and self-reliance, while still offering beauty in every direction.
