Blessed with a mild year-round climate and exceptional privacy, this is a property designed for those who value space, freedom and a deep connection with nature. This is more than a farm. It is a private sanctuary. Imagine waking to the sound of birdsong, enjoying your morning coffee overlooking a lush valley, spending afternoons exploring your own trails on horseback, quad bike or 4x4, and ending the day around a fire beneath a canopy of stars.

From sunrise coffees to long family gatherings and evenings spent admiring the mountain views, the home embraces the indoor-outdoor lifestyle for which the Overberg is renowned. Existing Infrastructure with Character and Potential Scattered across the property are a collection of dwellings, charming stone buildings and functional farm structures that tell the story of the land's rich agricultural heritage.
