Fancy buying a beach?
This is your opportunity to do just that. Nestled along the West Coast, 20km north of Dwarskersbos, is a tranquil haven, offering a private self-sufficient lifestyle. It boasts a stunning modern farmhouse with 180 degree panoramic sea views, a spacious wrap around veranda, outdoor entertainment space, and a hydroponic farm. (408.41 HA)
The farmhouse, situated on a hilltop, has a wraparound veranda, that will quickly become the favourite place to recline after a long hard day’s work. The veranda has an outdoor braai and island with cupboards and space for a small bar fridge, as well as ample space for outdoor dining and lounging. The large living area as well as the main bedroom flow onto the veranda. The house consists of a large kitchen and scullery with built-in pantry, and dining and living area. The living area leads out to the back sheltered courtyard (64m2) with fireplace. This leads to the large laundry room next to the double garages and storeroom.
There are 4 bedrooms, 3 with shower en-suites. All except one bedroom has built-in cupboards. There is a separate full bathroom and a linen cupboard along the passage. All windows & doors are aluminium, and all have American shutters. The floors throughout are oak and the bathrooms are beautifully tiled. All bedrooms and the living area have air conditioners. The bedrooms & the living area have extra ceiling height, making them an ideal place to relax and unwind. The expansive main bedroom with stackable doors to the veranda and magic views, has a large en-suite and walk in shower, that leads into a large walk-in closet.
The established grounds have many mature trees and a few fishponds and the rest is laid to lawn. Included in the farm is a thriving Hydroponic operation, with 4 x 500m2 tunnels producing tomatoes, cucumbers, baby marrows, lettuce, and various herbs in the tunnels, including germination tables. (Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants using a water-based nutrient solution rather than soil, and can include an aggregate substrate, or growing media, such as vermiculite, coconut coir, or perlite. Hydroponic production systems are used by small farmers, hobbyists and commercial enterprises.) Additional facilities include a large pump station, storage rooms, a packing area, and an ablution block. Abundant water sources, boreholes and an aqueduct supply ample water. A historic school building, old barn, shop/post office add character to the property.
Further assets include a Black export fig plantation with 10 500 trees, (with a potential income of R17 Million, when in full production), with another irrigation dam and ablution block and a further pump station. There is a large amount of roaming wild life. The farm has a Distillery license to produce Vodka, however the distillery plant is not yet developed.
Just imagine this…..: a tranquil secluded guest-farm serving hearty meals with fresh onsite farm produce, with endemic animals, surrounding nature, peace and quiet and a spectacular untarnished beachfront along with serene mountain views in the distance to top it all off. It’s practically everyone’s idea of a relaxing weekend getaway. Why not take your dream of owning a profitable B&B venue and make it a guest farm? The possibilities here are endless.
This property is ideal for combining agriculture and lifestyle living whether you enjoy doing both or if you want to focus on the secluded beachfront living lifestyle you can rent out the agricultural sector and develop the lifestyle living options.
A private beachfront of this size on the West Coast does not often become available. Do not miss this opportunity.
