Marvel at the grandeur of a six-bedroom farmhouse, a symphony of space and luxury. Dual kitchens and dining rooms evoke a sense of abundance, while twin lounges with cozy fireplaces beckon for intimate gatherings on chilly Karoo evenings.

As you explore further, encounter seven worker housing units in enduring klinker brick. The landscape transforms into a tapestry of green with 71ha of meticulously irrigated land. 37Ha under Pivot, 18Ha under sprinkler, and 16Ha under dripper irrigation, all these methods nurture the earth, supported by a generous water rights allocation of 7000m3 per hectare per annum.
Two majestic dams punctuate the scenery – one with a holding capacity of 270,000m3 and a cement dam cradling 6,000m3. The farm's heartbeat resonates through a network of canals, orchestrating a ballet of water supply on 5-day and 8-day cycles.
A balance is struck between cultivated and natural with 442ha of fertile grazing land. The soil, a rich blend of clay, stone, and sand, ensures optimal water drainage.
