Louterwater is a small agricultural town in the Langkloof Valley, Eastern Cape, known for its apple and pear orchards along the scenic R62 route.
Situated in the middle of the Sepree Rivier Private Nature Reserve and the Kouga Nature Reserve, with only a few km separating it from the Western Cape border, this farm offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Eastern Cape while still being within reach of the Western Cape's attractions.
As you follow the winding roads leading to this hidden gem, you'll be embraced by the tranquillity of the surroundings, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life.
This 505-hectare off-the-grid sanctuary offers the perfect blend of rugged wilderness and modern comforts. The main house exudes timeless elegance with 3 en-suite bedrooms and a spacious lounge that opens onto a stoep/braai area, perfect for entertaining while enjoying panoramic views of rolling hills. Four charming cottages, though in need of some TLC, bring rustic appeal and promise endless possibilities. Two furnished cottages by the river provide serene retreats, while a cosy two-bedroom cottage behind the main house could easily become a lodge.
Adjacent to the main house is a recently renovated three-car garage with a 60 sqm office above, ideal for work-from-home convenience. The farm's heart beats with its agricultural infrastructure—ample space for livestock, large sheds, a chicken coop, and even a quaint rondavel by the river. With nearly 7 km of private river frontage, water is plentiful, supported by a solar pump, storage tanks, and a robust solar power system that keeps the entire property running smoothly.
Victron Connect inverter, equipped with 6kW solar panels and 20kW batteries, electricity is never in short supply, powering the main house, the two-bedroom house, and the office/garage area with ease.
