Description

Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Kraaibos, near the picturesque town of Knysna and the enchanting indigenous forest, this 8.6 hectare smallholding presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a peaceful retreat with endless possibilities.

The property boasts not one, but three comfortable cottages, providing ample accommodation for a large family or multiple guests. The first cottage features two bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and dining room, and a bathroom. The second cottage offers two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a spacious room that can easily be converted into a lounge and kitchen area. Connected to the main house, there is an additional one-bedroom cottage with a lounge and bathroom, perfect for guests or as a potential income generator.

The main house is a true sanctuary, featuring a luxurious and expansive bedroom with a walk-in dressing room, an ensuite bathroom, and a guest toilet. The large and inviting lounge opens up to a covered north-facing veranda, providing the perfect spot to relax and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The house also includes a practical scullery and laundry area.

The property offers a plethora of additional features that make it truly remarkable. For enthusiasts of exotic birds, there are eight small rooms equipped with air conditioning where the owner breeds these magnificent creatures. Adjacent to this area is a spacious shed, cleverly divided into smaller sections to accommodate breeding pairs. With 350 built bird aviaries, the possibilities for this space are endless - it could be utilized for similar bird breeding endeavors, or transformed into a piggery, mushroom farm, or even an exotic nursery.

For those with equestrian interests, the property lends itself perfectly to stables, with one large shed featuring free-standing bird cages that could be repurposed as an indoor farming area or indoor arena for horses and other pursuits. There are also three large workshop areas that can be utilized for various storage and creative projects.

The smallholding offers plenty of room for outdoor activities and farming. The outside bird aviaries can accommodate chickens, birds, or whatever your heart desires, alongside a charming little orchard of fruit trees. There are four camps with water access for animals, currently home to cattle, donkeys, goats, and miniature horses. To ensure the safety of the animals, sections of the property are electrified to deter wildlife encroachment. A large dam, equipped with a solar pump, can supply ample water for both the gardens and the animals.

Practicality are key features of this smallholding. The 30kva battery with a 15kva inverter is excluded from the sale, but can be bought over from the owner. 25 x 5000l water tanks capturing rainwater from the 1500m² roof gives you ample water supply. Additionally, the property benefits from three-phase electricity, providing ample power for all your needs.

Security and convenience are also prioritized, with the entire property encompassed by fencing and a sliding gate at the entrance, operated by an electric motor.

Located approximately 30km from both Sedgefield and Knysna, this rural haven offers the perfect balance between peaceful seclusion and easy access to nearby amenities and attractions. This property is a true gem, offering a multitude of opportunities for those looking to embrace a countryside lifestyle with endless possibilities.
