268 ha Farm in Montagu

Have you ever dreamed of living in the countryside, surrounded by mesmerizing mountains and nature, being self-sufficient, and completely off the grid yet not too far from town? This lifestyle farm, spanning 168 hectares, is situated on the outskirts of the Koo, 40 kilometers from Montagu, and is entirely off the grid.

The property features two solar-powered boreholes, one 110 meters deep and the other 35 meters deep. The larger dam is double-walled and supplied by drainage canals and a solar pump borehole (35m deep) at 6 cu/h. There are 1.9 hectares of lucerne under irrigation, plus two pastures: one 7.1 hectares under barley/oats and the other 3.7 hectares under oats.

The farmhouse, covering 445 square meters under the roof, offers four double bedrooms, with the main bedroom en-suite featuring a sunroom and walk-in dressing room. The enormous living room is open-plan with the kitchen, leading to a pantry, scullery, and packing room. The living area includes a built-in braai, a bar counter in one corner, and a huge central enclosed hearth to warm the whole room when needed. The living room opens onto a covered verandah with glorious views over the farm and surrounding mountains. Look out for Mountain Reedbuck, rabbits, and blue cranes. The back of the house also has a covered patio.

A short distance from the farmhouse are foundations to floor level for another two-bedroom house. There is ample parking for six vehicles in a barn opposite, plus two stables, two pigsties, a feed store, a sheep pen, and two Wendy houses for storage. Various rain harvesting water tanks and additional 5000-liter water storage tanks are also present.

If you want another income, you can install a tunnel for vegetables or think about farming with chickens.

VAT is not included in the asking price, and the property is being sold as a going concern. It is optional to purchase the farm implements and livestock, which will be negotiated separately at the time of purchase.
