16 ha Farm in Orkney

What a rare find! An exceptional, one of a kind 16 Ha farm!

What a rare find! A 16 Ha farm, ideally located close to town, and with potential as a Wedding/Function Venue, Guest House, Restaurant, Sheep/Livestock Farm or simply Country Lifestyle living at its best.

Let us start with the unique, quality-built house.

A wall, creatively built by the front door of the house, is cleverly positioned as one enters through the front door creating a reception area.

As one then moves, around this wall and from the reception area to the main living area, one is immediately struck by the openness of the vast living area.

The living room/dining room area can accommodate a large lounge suite with additional furniture, as well as an exceptionally large dining room table. What a wonderful open area to visit with family and friends.

A wall divides this area and a more private lounge area next to an indoor swimming pool. This private lounge area has a built-in braai, which is conveniently close to the kitchen and kitchen where one can sit and enjoy a meal while the cook is cooking in the kitchen, or the braai master is tending to the meat on the braai.

The swimming pool, in this private lounge area, is of a convenient size and smartly chosen location wise. What a privilege having such a nice swimming pool indoors, sheltering one from the elements.

To one corner, in the open plan living area, is a TV room area which is large enough to fit a lounge suite with associated furniture.

The kitchen has solid logwood built-in cupboards and slate kitchen tabletops. A middle island, kitchen nook and gas stove are some of the highlights. There is also a separate scullery.

A hallway then leads one to an extension of the downstairs area where one can find 2 spacious bedrooms with a communal/shared bathroom.

Both bedrooms have tiled floors, built-in cupboards, air conditioners and curtain rails.

A solid security door secures the sleeping area from the remainder of the house.

A solid and broad floored wooden staircase takes one to an upstairs deck area. This is optimization of space and one can find an additional 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower, bathtub, washbasin, and toilet upstairs.

As a bonus the larger upstairs bedroom opens up onto a deck and allows for wonderful views over the back lawn and garden of the property.

A truly exceptional garden.

The garden has vast, lush lawns with established trees, shrubs, and flowering plants in abundance.

To the one corner there is an established private garden area with trees and shrubs planted next to winding paths and around a centrally located water feature. This area has several benches allowing one to sit and relax in peace and tranquility. Privacy in nature and at its best!

Another highlight of this beautiful garden is a large pond with a walkway leading to a deck and Lapa in the middle of the pond. This is ideal for private functions next to a water setting. The pond has a waterfall on the side creating a tranquil flow of water on a consistent basis.

A sheep farmers dream property.

The owner has, at a considerable cost, built quality and solid steel and metal structures to house and farm with a few thousand sheep.

Furthermore, there are also several, well fenced camps on the farm. Many of these camps have irrigation lines allowing one to optimally grow the planted vegetation. As a bonus the owner has water rights, for irrigation purposes, from the river.

Having several camps and utilizing them wisely allows for rotation of the sheep and the optimization of the vegetation at hand.

Extras:

- Solar system

- 93.5 m garage

Conclusion.

This versatile property is exceptional value for money and has so much to offer! Unbeatable in terms of location, possibility of uses and price!
