This property is very well located on the main route between Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn, in the sought after Ruiterbos area, a high rainfall area 25 km from Hartenbos on the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains.
For a long time, Ruiterbos has been a place where locals and tourists hesitated to pass by, and a quick stop was usually made. People from all along the area are drawn to a morning trip to Ruiterbos to visit a farmstall of their choice, arrange a kid’s party, or attend a baby shower. For those who are not familiar with Ruiterbos, it is only 20 minutes’ drive to Hartenbos, 25 minutes to Klein Brak Rivier and 45 minutes to George Airport (all tar road).
The main building is designed and run as a farmstall, animal touch farm and events venue, with the focus on children and family. Everything from kids’ parties, baby showers, yearend functions, and more. The building’s layout is very practical with a well laid out flow between the entrance, the large restaurant area and the kitchen area at the back with a large fireplace at the back door. The restaurant has toilets for guests as well as changing station for the little ones.
There are two designated braai areas on the large lawn where large fires can be made and the beautiful views enjoyed while the kids play all around and enjoy all the different animals in the 12 pens that surround the large lawn area. A list of animals will be included in the sale.
Additional infrastructure includes a 3-bedroom farmhouse, a Wendy house workshop and a 6mX6m carport.
The property’s electrical needs are supplied by two solar systems, totally off the grip and Eskom free. The farmstall building has a solar system that includes an 8kW inverter, 2 X 5kWh lithium batteries and 13 X 550-watt solar panels (the farmstall's solar system is not included in the advertised price). The house’s solar system includes an 8kW inverter, 2 X 5kWh lithium batteries and 6 X 550-watt solar panels and 12 X 460-watt solar panels.
The property has water rights from a furrow system that is supplied by a fountain on the mountain side. The fresh fountain water runs into 2 earth dams on the property from where it is distributed with pressure pumps. The roofs are also equipped with rainwater gutters that flows into storage tanks.
This property is very well exposed to the R328 scenic route between Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn and ideal to be used and further developed into a venue for family events and more. Property in the sought after Ruiterbos area serves as a good investment, it is well located and not too far from all basic services. New private schools are opening outside of Hartenbos which is only 20-25minutes away and a new large shopping centre “Garden Walk” is also in construction just outside Hartenbos which will be the usual stop for most people that side of town, without the need to go into town itself, very convenient.
