Joint Mandate

You turn into Four Fields Farm, windows down, and the fresh countryside air drifts in, carrying the cheerful twitter of birds and the distant whinny of a horse. Lush gardens surround you — fragrant, diverse, and mature — the result of decades of tending with pride and patience. It’s abundantly clear this is a farm shaped by far more than land — it’s been shaped by love.

Stretching along a shallow valley and contained by exceptionally well-maintained perimeter fencing, the property spans 6.88 hectares of gently contoured countryside, arranged into Six paddocked quarters that frame the farm’s wholesome accommodation. The pastures are ideally suited to horses, yet could just as easily support sheep or cattle for more traditional farming ventures, or perhaps alpacas, llamas, and other joy-inducing animals should your focus lean toward a guest-centred experience. Across one of the paddocks sits a quaint yet complete staff cottage beside an adorable four-stall stable, shaded by grapevines. Grassy pathways weave to three serene dams, while select open sections allow wildlife to roam freely through a landscape entirely free of alien invasive species. The farmland has been cleared of all exotic trees and plants and paddocks improved to increase the carrying capacity of livestock

At the farm’s centre lies the beating heart of the property — the guest accommodation — with its charming wood and brick construction and a multitude of options. A dreamy honeymoon home rests beyond an arch; its garden-wrapped lawn edged by a whimsical bougainvillea that cascades vibrant pink blooms over the front porch. Inside, a gently pitched ceiling soars above a glass-wrapped dining area, while a cozy, fire-warmed lounge, generous kitchen, and restful bedroom suite complete this idyllic retreat for two, brand new coastal grade roof over the guest accommodation.

Four guest suites — each with a bedroom and ensuite bathroom — enjoy north-facing porches that savour mountain views. One superior suite expands on this with a private lounge, kitchenette, and access to a backyard where a built-in braai stands at the ready. The deluxe suite, ideal for family stays, is entered through a private, garden-wrapped courtyard and offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as an open-plan lounge, dining area, and full kitchen. New Fridges and stoves has been installed and many general improvements done.

Set deeper into the property, away from the main accommodation cluster, an independent, fully back-up-powered cottage, offering a compelling owner-living option that allows you to reside on the farm with complete privacy while operating the guesthouse. Elevated and north-facing with mountain views, it boasts open-plan living, a full kitchen with new fireplace and kitchen cupboards. two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and beneath it a substantial lower level currently used as garages and workshop can be easily re-imagined into a self-contained unit should you wish to expand the offering. There is also a back up power system installed which consists of 2 x Lithium batteries and inventer. Tucked peacefully near one of the dams is a small private camping area with its own ablution facilities: a simple, nature-immersed stay option that complements the farm’s diverse accommodation mix. Tastefully arranged interiors echo the farm's charming character, and the property is sold as a turnkey operation, fully furnished and complete with all equipment.

One of the subtle marvels of the setting is its water security; the Holstream is part of Loredo water scheme, runs on gravity to a dedicated storage tank — a rare privilege shared by farms along this uniquely endowed corridor — complemented by seven rainwater harvesting tanks.
