Exclusive Mandate : Escape to your own slice of paradise with this off grid 6.2 hectare property located in the verdant upper valley of the historical town of Franschhoek. This exclusive farm, surrounded by several other farms offers a lifestyle immersed in tranquility and natural beauty, all while being a mere 3 minutes (2.2 kilometers) from the village centre.
This property boasts a unique charm that sets it apart. A spacious four-bed all en-suite homestead dating back to the early 1900’s, fully renovated by a renowned local architect. It features large sash wooden windows, expansive living spaces, wrap around deep verandah and an eat-in kitchen with American Shaker style cabinetry. The high original Oregon ceilings, in the living areas, provide natural coolness in the hot summer months. The house is fully air conditioned to provide further coolness, if needed.
In addition to the main house, there are four holiday(guest) cottages, a two-bedroom manager’s house and four stables along with a tack room, feed room and a groom’s quarters.
The property is self-sufficient, powered by a 12 KW solar system that keeps all appliances and Wi-Fi humming, with close to zero reliance on Eskom. There is a bore hole yielding potable water, ensuring a reliable water source. There is an earth dam which serves multiple purposes, including gravity fed irrigation, fishing, swimming and canoeing whilst teeming with life, hosting frogs, Trout, Bass, coots, nesting Weaver birds and even Cape clawless otters. Efforts have been made to encourage the growth of fynbos, contributing to the biodiversity and ecological health of the property.
The plum orchards on the farm provide a harvest used in the distilling of slivovitz (an Eastern European style plum brandy) and a plum gin. There is also an acre of shiraz vineyard with a harvest used to produce an award winning Absinthe, as well as a shiraz based gin.
This sanctuary is home to a variety of bird life, including Cape Robins, Hoopoe, sunbirds, herons, Kingfishers, Cape Eagle owls and many more. Witness a synergy of nature with an array of wildlife, from porcupines and owls to steenbok and caracal.
This property is not just a home, it is a canvas for a lifestyle where nature takes center stage, offering serenity, sustainability, and an unparalleled connection with the environment. This comprehensive set of features makes La Verdure Farm a diverse and sustainable property offering both a comfortable residence and income generating opportunities. The property is registered for VAT.
