“A place to finely attune your clock with nature’s”

Emerging from the earth as if it’s an integral part of the rich red soil it occupies, the property spreads itself open-plan in the living, dining, cooking and reclining spaces. Contemporary essentials for life off-the-grid are seamlessly married with the natural elements of timber, stone and glass. Letting the magnificent landscapes do all of the talking. Wood-burning stoves and solar panels temper the home perfectly.

Seamless living where nature and comfort unite

Whatever the weather, so as the seasons go, sun, wind or snow – the home cools and cocoons respectively. Its three bedrooms and accompanying bathrooms all maximise on the views of the valley, the mountains and the rivers. The long-decked verandah, looking out to the fire-pit and plunge pool is where you’ll be inclined to spend the majority of your time. With your hat, your binoculars, a hot morning brew or a chilled evening tipple.

For all of the other moments of the day you’ll be out on the hiking trails, traversing the mountain routes, exploring the caves, swimming in the rivers and natural pools. Contemplative moments of awe arrive in each activity. As you wade about in the perennial waters of the Twee Rivier, witnessing the Malachite Kingfisher darts through the reeds.

As you gather around the fire-pit in the evenings and the flames mimic the tips of the mountains, transforming in the changing hour’s light. Admiring the Khoi San rock art in the shallow caves, as you look out over the land from a vantage point that remains as it did thousands of years ago. When the stars come out and dance across the vastness of darkness. The indelible moments of pondering the life you’ve discovered in this pristine pocket of wilderness.

Adventure begins on trails less travelled

As the current owner’s sentiment echoes, “We wanted our own piece of wilderness. There are so many beautiful places in the world, but so few of them have that feeling of remoteness. To have your own piece of unspoiled natural beauty, that’s yours and yours only, is what we dreamed of.”

Above all of its attributes, Watershed Farm is an opportunity for you to harness what you might have already discovered. A place to finely attune your clock with nature’s, entirely. Walk with the klipspringers, the grey reebok, the porcupines, the larger spotted genets and the mongooses. Spot the black eagles, the kingfishers, the occasional bat-eared foxes, the caracals, African wild cat and rare Cape leopard. Swim amongst the exceptionally rare and endangered Twee Rivier redfin fish and live amidst an ecosystem so complex and diverse you’ll be honoured to be a custodian of its land. As your children’s children will, too.
