Description

Breath-taking views with endless opportunities, where beauty, history, peace and tranquillity
are all moulded together in one exquisite package!
The perfect natural setting, a unique chance to embrace the beauty of nature, while
preserving this pristine terrain for generations to come, not to mention the farming section,
with two good boreholes, 80ha of arable land situated on the foothills of the majestic
mountain range offers various farming opportunities, the best of both worlds. Also suitable
for horses, cattle, game, sheep. Ample water includes the two tested boreholes plus a fresh
mountain spring, making self-sufficient farming not only a dream but a reality.
Just off the N2 highway, close to Swellendam town, on the
gateway to the Garden Route. Featuring a unique biodiverse ecosystem, an oasis of fynbos
biome, home to many endemic plant species. It encompasses a variety of habitats, including
fynbos forest areas, mountain hills, rock formations, pools and the beautiful Hessequas
River, which runs through the “Nou-Kloof” on this land, where Piet Lafras Uys, the father of
the ever so popular Hero, Dirkie Uys was born and raised.
In the Kloof area, where the Hessequas River flows, you can explore the lush haven on
hiking trails over the mountain or through the forest. You will encounter wildlife, such as
Klipspringer, Duiker, Vaal Rhebok, Porcupine, Otters, cat species and various bird species
(e.g. the scarce Secretary Bird!). You can swim in the rock pools. Experience the spectacular
starlight nights, which gives you the ultimate sense of calmness and relaxation. Feast your
eyes.
The stone house, built on the riverbank has two bedrooms and an open plan living area, with
rustic braai facilities. A cosy one-bedroom cob-house is built a bit higher up on the riverbank.
The views from these houses are just breath-taking! With a vision for sustainable lifestyle
development such as implementing renewable energy solutions, synergetic farming
systems, solar farming, or eco-tourism, due to the excellent location, topography and
climate. Balancing conservation and sustainable development ensure a harmonious
coexistence with nature.
Tourism is a definite option, offering various opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.
Recreational activities like mountain biking, 4x4 trails, quad bike, zip liner, climbing, horse
riding, bird watching, hiking, building camp sites, tiny homes, or chalets with hot tubs, for
weekend breakaways or holidays will create a popular destination to come.
By conserving and protecting this natural treasure, for whatever purpose, you create a
lasting impact and contribute to the global movement of environmental stewardship.
Acquiring as a group or as an individual, is not only an investment, but will contribute to
preserving the natural balance for future generations, a legacy you leave behind.
