PADDAVLEI FARM
Paddavlei is a lifestyle farm with some agricultural production but mostly subsistence farming. The farm is situated in the outskirts of Van Wyksdorp and is designated as ‘agricultural’ (as opposed to residential). The property is set well back from all roads and accessed by a pan-handle servitude, which makes it relatively dust and noise protected.
The property takes its name from the original down-town leiwater dam and vlei (which is now demolished) and from the raucous toads that serenade in the summer nights.
The house has views of Rooiberg to the north and spectacular vista views of the Langeberg mountains (from Sleeping Beauty in the west to Cloete Pass in the east) to the south.
The current owners have established the property for over 10 years and are down-sizing to another portion of their assets across the road, still in Vanwyksdorp.
