R 3 795 000 | Farm for Sale in Sedgefield Rural

EXCLUSIVE MANDATE: This magical property is more than just a home—it's a peaceful retreat that blends history, comfort, and character in one remarkable space.

This 1,37ha smallholding in the heart of Kraaibos feeds the soul and radiates charm and tranquillity. The solid old schoolhouse set under a canopy of trees has been lovingly restored, a symphony of light and space with double volume ceilings, sash windows, fully functional wood shutters and Oregon pine flooring. A closed combustion fireplace creates a warm ambience and huge floor to ceiling concertina doors separate the living areas from the main bedroom and the largest guest bedroom, both with loads of built in cupboards. A third room offers versatility as either a bedroom or a study. The bathroom exudes old-world charm, with a classic ball-and-claw bath and a large, modern shower, perfect for relaxation.

An enclosed sunroom provides the perfect place to kick back and relax as natural light streams in the windows and double French doors lead out to the garden overlooking a peaceful dam. Designed for modern convenience, the kitchen has warm wooden counter tops and space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a dishwasher. Gorgeous views of the mountains and forest can be enjoyed from the open patio and there is plenty of space for happy pets.

A labourer's cottage offers a shower and basin, and a separate loo, solar system room and storeroom can be found across the way. Totally off-the-grid, this property offers a tranquil lifestyle of self-sufficiency with stable, eco-friendly options powered by 12 solar panels, a 24v Victron inverter, lithium batteries, 2 gas geysers and 9 x 5000l water tanks, cutting utility costs. There is also a separate tool shed. Peace of mind is provided with an automated access gate, electric fencing, an alarm and beams. There is a fast internet connection via radio tower should you need to work from home. An extra-high double carport provides covered parking and there is loads of space for additional parking. The gently sloping land bordering the Knysna Forest offers an advanced infrastructure including a large chicken coop (with its own rainwater tank) housing free-range chickens, a thriving vegetable garden, beehives, and your own mini orchard with peach, fig, avocado, nectarine, apple, apricot, grapefruit and banana trees. The homestead is separately fenced but with almost a hectare of grazing and a small earth dam, this space is suitable for a couple of horses or sheep and offers income-producing possibilities: expand to a fully-fledged chicken farm, plant an orchard of high-income macadamia nut trees, or expand to large-scale vegetable growing.

This smallholding off the 7 Passes Road between Rheenendal and Karatara is 25 to 30 minutes from Sedgefield for shopping, schools, medical facilities and all amenities. 5 Pristine beaches are a 30 minute drive away and the most stunning forest picnic sites and hiking trails are on your doorstep.

This unique property blends rustic elegance with thoughtful design, creating an enchanting haven where nature and comfort meet in perfect harmony.
