Fattoria Luxury Lifestyle Nel Cuore Dell'eastern Free State

Perched dramatically on the side of an amphitheatre of the Grootnek mountain in the Eastern Free State, this architecturally designed 85-hectare property offers a truly extraordinary living experience.
Masterfully hewn from the mountain, this modern sanctuary, with sandstone accents, provides spectacular panoramic views of the majestic surrounding mountain ranges.
The main residence features two generous bedrooms, each with its ensuite bathroom, designed with luxurious comfort in mind, and thoughtfully positioned to maximize the breathtaking vistas.

The open-plan living spaces create a remarkable sensation of ”living in the sky,” with the magnificent landscape unfolding before you from the deck and the enormous windows.
A custom-built kitchen, a separate scullery, an outdoor pantry, a gas hob and an electric oven create the perfect space to cook and host dinner parties.

A separate guest cottage provides additional accommodation with two more rooms, featuring ensuite bathrooms. The cottage has an open-plan living and dining area with a fitted kitchen.

Discarded sandstone pillars frame a circular outside fireplace – a site for evening meditation that captures the magic of the unending countryside.

The property boasts two dams and a reservoir, filled by three natural mountain springs that provide 27 000 litres of water per day, year-round. The springs feed into three water tanks which overflow into a reservoir. The garden, including the orchard with apple, cherry, lemon and persimmon trees, is serviced by a computerized irrigation system.

The property’s natural sandstone construction harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding landscape, creating a seamless connection between the built environment and the dramatic natural setting.

This is more than just a home; it’s an exclusive retreat that captures the essence of luxury living in one of South Africa’s most picturesque regions.

The property is situated between Rosendal and Ficksburg
