Lifestyle Leisure Farm With Architectural Heritage

Exclusive Instruction:

An unparalleled find, Grootnek farm is an architecturally-designed country estate built alongside the mountain slopes of the Eastern Free State – a 3.5-hour drive from Johannesburg, situated between Rosendal and Ficksburg, with easy access off the main tar road.

This is a unique residence created by a well-known South African architect, with interiors by a top interior designer and owner. Comprehensive plans and engineering specifications are available at request.

85 hectares of open land; two dams and a reservoir, filled by three mountain springs that run continuously providing abundant water. Tree-lined entrance avenue, leads to an established garden in a carved-out mountain setting, with a fully computerized irrigation system, that was designed by Grun Art.

The living spaces are filled with light and vistas of the spectacular Free State landscape and beyond, the Maluti mountains etched against an expanse of sky.

The main residence features open-plan living/dining with a custom-built kitchen from Euromobile, separate scullery, an outdoor pantry, gas hob, and electric ovens.

Sandstone floors and under-floor heating throughout; Morso fireplace and an open log fire for wintery evenings in the living area, along with a Morso fireplace in the main bedroom, which also has a free-standing bathtub with views to the outside. Both bedrooms in the main residence are ensuite, with fitted marble bathrooms and heated towel rails. All lighting in the home was designed by Paul Pamboukin and the interior by Krysia Back interiors.

There is a stand-alone guest cottage adjacent to the main house, with open plan living/dining and a fitted kitchen, a Morso fireplace, and two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. This space is also equipped with under-floor heating throughout, a gas hob and electric oven, and heated towel rails.

The Giant courtyard doors were manufactured from Brazilian hardwood and installed by Hall Smith, all the other internal doors to the home are also from custom solid wood from Hall Smith.

A rose garden, courtyards, an outdoor fireplace, and many beautiful trees; a rock pool for swimming, and a built-in braai area.

Two fully-appointed staff accommodations; two garages and stores.

Metal roller-shutter security over all windows and access points.

An ideal location for nature and horse lovers – around the corner from the Moolmanshoek private nature reserve, well-known for its endurance horses. A place of tranquillity, water, trees, and birdlife, of small buck and darting meerkats, and a getaway with luxurious finishes and modern design
