AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: Deceased estate sales are known for one thing — genuine opportunity — and this property is no exception!

Coming to market for the first time in over 60 years, this 8-hectare smallholding is the last remaining portion of a once larger family-owned dairy farm. Now, as the final chapter in that legacy, it is being offered to the public by way of auction.

Tucked away along Sandhoogte Road in Grootbrak Rivier, the approach immediately sets it apart. A quiet drive through natural bush, off the tarred Sandhoogte Road, leads you into a setting that feels untouched by time. The farmhouse itself sits privately off the road, completely hidden from view, offering a rare sense of seclusion.

The immediate grounds around the home are lawned, while the balance of the land has been left undisturbed for roughly 40 years, allowing nature to reclaim it. The property stretches up the hillside in a rectangular form, rewarding you at the top with sweeping valley views towards the Grootbrak lagoon, and even distant sea views.

The farmhouse, built over 50 years ago, offers generous living spaces. A spacious lounge opens onto a sunny patio, perfectly positioned to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The dining room, separate yet interleading, also flows onto the patio, while the kitchen connects comfortably to the living areas. A passage leads to three well-sized bedrooms, with the main bedroom en suite, and a family bathroom servicing the remaining two. A single garage provides direct access into the home.

The home does require attention. Cracking is visible in both the internal and external walls, including through the dining room floor, suggesting structural movement — likely linked to stormwater management challenges. Sections of the fencing and gutters will also need repair. This is a property for a buyer who can see beyond the current condition and unlock its full potential.

What cannot be recreated, however, is the setting. Less than 3km from Grootbrak village, yet offering complete privacy, space, and a true smallholding lifestyle. Sandhoogte Road itself draws you in — a reminder of the slower, more grounded way of living that defines this part of the Garden Route.

This is more than just a property — it’s an opportunity to secure land with history, privacy, and long-term upside.
