Lifestyle boutique Small holding in Franskraal

DUAL MANDATE
Escape to the Wild: Off-Grid Boutique Smallholding in Franskraal
Where the Mountains Meet the Sea — Your Sustainable Sanctuary Awaits.
Tired of the city noise? Imagine waking up to the scent of salt air and fynbos, with 180-degree views of the ocean and the rugged mountains of the Overberg. This 5.9ha boutique smallholding on the iconic R43 tourism route is more than just a property; it’s a lifestyle transition.
Whether you dream of a self-sufficient family homestead or a thriving eco-tourism venture, the "heavy lifting" has already been done for you.

The Ultimate Sustainable Setup
Live in harmony with nature without sacrificing modern luxury. This property is fully off-the-grid, designed for total independence:
• Energy: A robust 15 kVA solar system (12 panels and 15 kWh battery storage) ensures you’re never affected by load shedding.
• Water: Your own reliable supply via a well-point and four natural groundwater-fed dams—a rare find for any country lover.
• Sustainability: Low-maintenance aluminium finishes, solar and gas geysers, and minimal municipal rates (only R105/month)
A Blank Canvas for Your Country Vision
The current owner has invested over a year in the permit process, meaning you can leapfrog the red tape. Applications are already in progress for:
• 6 Bespoke Tourism Units for guests seeking a nature retreat.
• Farm Stall & Coffee Shop to capture the R43's vibrant tourism flow.
• Petting Farm & Family Venue—the animal enclosures and camps are already built!

The Residence: Modern Comfort, Rural Charm
Completed just two years ago, the main home is a modern, spacious and light filled.
• Ground Floor: Features a dedicated mudroom (essential for beach days or gardening)/utility room and two studio sized elegant guest suites with stacking doors that open directly onto a private garden and braai area.
• First Floor: An expansive open-plan sanctuary with high exposed wooden beams. The master suite offers panoramic views, while the entertainment area features a fireplace, bar, and balcony with 180-degree vistas of the surrounding wilderness.

Location: The Heart of the Cape Whale Coast
Nestled between Hermanus and Cape Agulhas, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy:
• Nature at your Doorstep: Walk to the beach in 15 minutes or drive to mountain trails in 5.
• Marine Wonders: Close to the world-famous shark diving in Gansbaai and whale watching in Walker Bay.
• Convenience: All the perks of a safe local village nearby, including a new hospital under construction and school bus links to Hermanus.
Infrastructure is in place. The dams are full. The solar is humming. All that’s missing is your vision.
