The 10,2 ha of majestic land lies elevated on the western foothills of the Drakenstein mountain at the end of a cul-de-sac and on the urban edge of Paarl. This typical lifestyle enterprise is endowed with natural beauty and the tranquil environment makes it ideal for quality living close to all the amenities in a safe and secure location with no trespassing. Currently the main farming activity is the keeping of race horses in paddocks covering about 5 ha of the acreage. Rainfall occurs mostly during winter and an average of 800 mm precipitation is measured annually. Due to the location of the house below a small hill, the effect of the gusty South Easter is neutralised. The land slopes towards a low lying perennial stream on the Western boundary and another small stream feeds a dam with a capacity of about 3 mil litres. A scenic earth dam is situated in a remote valley and surrounded by unspoiled fynbos. It is fed by a fountain and rain water. Currently it is not utilised for irrigation and serves merely as a striking water feature. A storage tank distributes water to the house, paddocks, swimming pool and gardens through a gravity fed system.The natural splendour of this area is evident in the fact that its fynbos plant species constitutes one of the six plant kingdoms of the world, namely the Cape Floristic Kingdom.The existing owners planted indigenous Yellow wood trees and in years to come the natural beauty of the property will hugely benefit from this.The arable soils vary from sandy, sandy-loam to sandy-clay. The climate is moderate and the winters are frost free. The road and tracks are accessible, well maintained. Accommodation is in the form of a spacious double storey homestead with a covered stoep, offering spectacular views, a large swimming pool and a barbeque area. Further buildings include a double garage and store room as well as a cottage. The barn serves as a stable block.This idyllic property can be yours at R4,900,000.00
