Farm for Sale in Banners Rest

Are you looking to invest in property on the Lower South Coast, where you can enjoy a sustainable lifestyle in the countryside, accommodate and entertain the entire family, only minutes away from the beach? Spanning over two erfs and covering a total of four hectares, this fully fenced small holding has much to offer! Enter the property off a quiet gravel road through the remote-operated gate. The long driveway leading up to the grand façade of the double-storey main homestead is nothing short of impressive. The two-vehicle carport is conveniently positioned between the back door of the house and the lockable storage rooms, with an additional adjacent open-air, covered area. Added features include a kids' playhouse, a swimming pool, and two 5000lt backup water tanks. A cozy two-bedroom cottage is set a little way from the main homestead and could serve as a source of rental income or as a manager’s residence. The interior of this home features a traditional design, with the kitchen set away from the entertainment area and featuring a scullery and laundry room. On the ground floor, you’ll find various rooms to accommodate large family gatherings and ample space for entertaining, including a dedicated dining room with a built-in sideboard, a games room with a raised ceiling and exposed stone support pillars, and a light-filled bar room with a large, prominent stone fireplace. Additional rooms include a sunny sitting room with an exterior doorway and an adjacent, spacious guest toilet. The second floor is accessed via the staircase in the center of the home. To the right, you will find the main bedroom with a modern en suite full bathroom, and to the left of the landing, there are three generously sized bedrooms with a shared modern bathroom, as well as a large study that could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom. Each room has a sliding door to a balcony, maximizing the stunning views of the macadamia orchards, the beautifully landscaped garden, and the distant Indian Ocean. The land is planted with nearly seven hundred seven-year-old macadamia trees of the 695 / Beaumont variety, which could potentially yield up to eight tons wet-in-shell annually. Currently, the crop is processed off-site. There are several banana suckers interplanted with the macadamia trees, and there is space to plant a vegetable garden. Banners Rest is minutes from the coastal town of Port Edward and is a mix of small holdings, private dwellings, and complexes close to the Red Desert and Umtamvuna Nature Reserves. Residents enjoy the abundance of wildlife as well as outdoor activities, from hiking to boating and fishing at the Old Pont Resort. Popular attractions such as the Wild Coast Sun are only a short drive away.
