R 6 995 000 | Farm for Sale in Cato Ridge

There are farms, and then there are places that simply capture your heart.

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Cato Ridge, with convenient access to the N3 freeway and only minutes from Hibiscus Hospital, this exceptional 20.23 hectare lifestyle farm offers a rare opportunity to embrace country living without sacrificing accessibility.

The beautiful land gently slopes away from the homestead towards a tranquil boundary river that meanders along the edge of the property, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting that is rich in birdlife and natural beauty.

Nestled alongside the river is a large dam with an inviting Lapa and braai area — the perfect place to spend lazy weekends with family and friends. Imagine long summer afternoons spent fishing, picnicking beneath the trees, children exploring the riverbanks, and evenings gathered around the fire as the sun sets over the water and the sounds of nature take over.

Whether enjoying an early morning coffee while mist rises from the river valley, leisurely walks through the property, horseback rides across the rolling grasslands or sundowners beside the dam at the end of the day, this is a lifestyle that feels a world away from the city while remaining conveniently close to modern amenities.

Surrounding the home is a magnificent indigenous garden that has been lovingly established over many years. Mature trees, established plantings and abundant birdlife create an atmosphere of tranquility and privacy, while the garden blends beautifully into the surrounding landscape and frames sweeping views across the farm and countryside beyond.

Currently utilized as an equestrian lifestyle property, the fertile soils, gentle topography and reliable rainfall also make the farm ideally suited to numerous smallholder agricultural ventures including:

• Boutique equestrian operations
• Avocado or macadamia orchards
• Vegetable and market gardening enterprises
• Free-range poultry production
• Sheep or goat farming
• Hydroponic tunnels
• Indigenous nursery production
• Agri-tourism ventures or farm accommodation
• Mixed smallholder farming activities

The beautifully appointed farmhouse embraces the surrounding views and offers warm, inviting open-plan living spaces designed for relaxed country living.

The home offers:
• Spacious open-plan lounge with fireplace opening onto an expansive covered veranda with breathtaking views across the property
• Lovely enclosed sunroom filled with natural light
• Dining room
• Well-fitted kitchen with separate scullery
• Study or library
• Three generous bedrooms
• Three bathrooms

Outbuildings and improvements include:
• Garages and carports
• Undercover parking for a horsebox
• Workshop
• Implement shed
• Four stables
• Hay and feed room
• Paddocks
• Lunge arena
• Excellent outriding directly from the property

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property is ideally positioned close to the Coastal Horse Care Unit and amongst several established equestrian properties in the area.

This is more than simply a farm — it is a lifestyle destination where weekends are spent beside the water, children grow up exploring open spaces, horses graze peacefully in the paddocks and every season brings a different kind of beauty to the landscape.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only and will be arranged exclusively for pre-approved buyers.

Please note that due to the agricultural zoning and extent of the property, traditional residential mortgage finance is generally not available through conventional lending institutions. Prospective purchasers should therefore be cash buyers or have access to suitable alternative funding solutions.

A truly exceptional lifestyle opportunity that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
