The property is anchored by two substantial residences and an impressive suite of modern agro-processing facilities, creating a well-established operation with the infrastructure to support significant agricultural activity. With uninterrupted views towards the Kamberg Mountain range and direct access to the Mooi River, the estate combines productive land with an extraordinary natural setting.

• Milking parlour and cheesery housing a cutting-edge dairy line, milk sample labs, processing vats, cold storage, and packaging rooms.
