Property Details

Nestled amidst the beautiful Piket-Bo-Berg Mountains, a secluded, quaint, olde world stone cottage with gorgeous views set on 43ha of land. With approximately 10ha of arable land, two boreholes and three workers’ cottages, no better value for money on the mountain! Offering complete privacy, peace and tranquillity, superb quality water, it’s a hidden gem waiting to be transformed into a glittering diamond! A great opportunity for those longing for a self-sustainable rural lifestyle, a small-scale farmer, and ideal to be developed as a retreat. Also perfect for artists and writers ever seeking for the peace and quiet offered by this piece of African splendour! Unquestionably an opportunity not to be missed! DETAIL: LAND SIZE: 43,4304 Hectares STONE COTTAGE: 137m² charming rustic cottage with double carport, small catchment dam, delightful rockery created around natural rock formations and lovely views. The cottage offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, open plan lounge with fireplace, dining area and kitchen. Added to this, a vine-covered veranda, for those Zen moments, communing with the beauty of nature all round. WORKERS’ COTTAGES: 2 x two bedroom, one bathroom cottages of 60m² each, and 1 x one bedroom, one bathroom cottage 40m² - all with small living area, kitchenette and veranda. Renovated over the years, the cottages, including the stone cottage, have been well maintained, but all are old farm structures in need of work/renovation. A wonderful spot to build your dream home – with expansive views across the neighbour’s dam and Kapteinskloof Mountains next to the stone cottage, and use the latter for visitors or granny! The land currently hosts a variety of trees, Sandstone Fynbos, indigenous wild- and birdlife. While aliens on the land have been controlled and treated, it will be an ongoing project for some time to eradicate – primarily the Port Jackson seedbed (on the majority of farms in the area). PIKET-BO-BERG: A relatively little-known, beautiful mountainous area with fertile soil, great quality water, and a delightful eclectic and cosmopolitan community of farmers, lifestyle farms and smallholdings. The get-together of the diverse and interesting community of locals at the monthly farmers market, frequented by patrons from far and wide, is an event not to be missed. Twenty minutes down the road is the equally vibrant town of Piketberg. Rated as one of the best-run municipalities in the country, it offers a nine-hole golf course, excellent medical care (including a hospital), a Vet, top-class schools, restaurants on nearby wine estates, a fully stocked Spar and other convenience stores, top-class farmers co-op, , a variety of interesting little shops, coffee shops, and a number of churches. And the entire area around Piketberg ‘littered’ with incredible nature and adventure opportunities such as the nearby world renowned Groot Winterhoek Wilderness, 24 Waterfalls for spectacular hiking trails, Beaverlac, and the best paragliding site in the Western Cape (Porterville)! DISTANCES: Approximately 21km from Piketberg, 48km from Citrusdal and 168km from Cape Town. NO SECURITY ISSUES – GREAT SECURITY ON THE MOUNTAIN - AND NO LAND CLAIMS.
