Lifestyle Farm within a Private Reserve on Aurora Mountain

Situated on top of the Aurora Mountain in the middle of the Sandveld of the West Coast, this lifestyle farm overlooks the entire western side of the Sandveld, the oceans of the West Coast in the distance and then on the Eastern side of the Farm it overlooks the Piket-bo-berg Mountain range and then the Cedarberg Mountains behind. The views are breathtaking. On a clear day you can even spot Table Mountain.

The natural fynbos is in abundance due to the average annual rain fall of 700mm, which is more than double the average of the farms below. The inhabitant wildlife includes Aardwolf, Dassies, Duikers, Fallow Deer (herd of 20), Klipspringers, Lynx (Rooikat), Porcupines, Baboons, and mountain Leopards.
