Nestled in the foothills of the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains on the edge of Cleopatra in the sought-after Kamberg Valley, this exceptional 20-hectare lifestyle farm offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a self-sufficient mountain retreat surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.

Positioned to capture uninterrupted panoramic views across the valley and mountains beyond, the property enjoys frontage onto the pristine Klein Mooi River and is embraced by indigenous forest, abundant birdlife and wildlife, creating a truly tranquil sanctuary.

The charming thatched homestead perfectly complements its spectacular surroundings. Designed for comfortable country living, the home features two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a light-filled open-plan living area centred around a welcoming fireplace. The modern kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and lounge areas, while large doors open onto an expansive timber deck where the magnificent mountain vistas become part of everyday living.

Upstairs, the second bedroom enjoys its own private balcony overlooking the valley and offers additional space ideal for a second lounge, home office or reading retreat. The property also benefits by having a good internet connection.

Adding further versatility is a separate two-bedroom cottage situated just behind the main residence. Complete with a kitchenette, full bathroom and guest toilet, it is ideal for extended family, guests or generating rental income.

The property has been thoughtfully developed with outstanding infrastructure and is perfectly suited for lifestyle farming or livestock operations. Improvements include:

  • Fully fenced 20-hectare farm with secure electric entrance gate
  • Entire property enclosed with robust 6-foot Bonnox game fencing
  • Double-storey goat shed accommodating approximately 100 goats
  • Two stables, feed room and tractor shed
  • Staff accommodation for three with kitchen and ablution facilities
  • Storeroom housing a sophisticated R500k 10kVA off-grid solar inverter system with 24 Solar Panels with backup battery
  • Wood storage area
  • Orchard (apple, peach, pear, apricot and plum trees)
  • House was rethatched at the end of 2015
  • Carport(3 to 4 cars) with two dedicated generator room
  • Three JoJo water tanks at the rear entrance

Water security is exceptional. A crystal-clear mountain spring supplies a 300,000-litre storage reservoir, which gravity feeds three JoJo tanks before distributing water throughout the homestead, staff accommodation and surrounding water points. The entire water reticulation system, tanks and fittings have been recently upgraded, ensuring reliable, low-maintenance operation.

The farm also benefits from a substantial wattle plantation, providing an ongoing supply of firewood, while indigenous forest areas support an abundance of local wildlife and create a beautiful natural landscape to explore.

Included in the sale are a well-maintained tractor with matching trailer, a bakkie sakkie, together with a comprehensive range of farm maintenance and fire-control equipment, allowing the new owner to continue operating the property immediately.

One of the property's most attractive features is its remarkable self-sufficiency. Powered by an advanced off-grid solar system with battery storage, supplemented by backup gas utilities, the property enjoys extremely low running costs. Pay-as-you-go Eskom electricity is available if required, with no monthly line charges, while the abundant spring water provides an exceptional, virtually cost-free water supply.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful family home, an income-producing guest farm, an agricultural enterprise or simply an extraordinary mountain escape, this remarkable Kamberg property offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

A truly unique opportunity where breathtaking scenery, complete privacy and sustainable living come together in one exceptional property.
