Set in the heart of the Garden Route, this spectacular 22-hectare lifestyle farm near Rheenendal offers a rare opportunity to embrace a life of peace, sustainability, and natural beauty. Surrounded by indigenous forest yet conveniently close to the main road and just a short drive from Knysna, this farm is a true sanctuary for those seeking a self-sufficient rural retreat.
At the heart of the property is a modest yet charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom home that blends harmoniously with its surroundings. The home provides a cozy yet functional living space, perfect as a starter home or a base for future expansion. Large windows invite in natural light and offer breathtaking views of the forest, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the beauty of the land.
The farm is fully off-grid, powered by a 2.8 kW solar system with a 5 kVA inverter, ensuring reliable and sustainable energy for everyday needs. While an Eskom connection point is available, it remains unused as the solar setup provides ample power. All water is sourced from rainwater harvesting, a common and reliable practice in Rheenendal as none of the farms are supplied with municipal water in the area. Water tanks supply both the main home and the additional structures on the property.
Adding to its versatility, the farm features a spacious 10x8 meter shed, ideal for storage, workshops, or farming activities, along with two additional sheds that can be used for tools, livestock, or extra storage. A charming wooden cottage is nestled deep within the forest, offering a secluded retreat with its own solar power and water tanks.
The land itself is mostly covered in lush indigenous forest, offering endless opportunities for conservation, and wildlife appreciation. Two dams are situated on the property, enhancing the farm’s potential for small-scale agriculture or livestock, though their pumps require some attention to restore them to full functionality.
Beyond its natural beauty, the farm’s location makes it a highly desirable investment. Just a short drive from Knysna, residents have access to shops, restaurants, schools, and the famous Knysna Lagoon while still enjoying the peace and privacy of rural living. Whether you envision a sustainable homestead, a nature-based business, or simply a private escape, this property presents endless possibilities.
This 22-hectare farm is more than just a place to live—it’s a chance to create a lifestyle in harmony with nature. From sustainable off-grid living and small-scale farming to eco-tourism potential, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Garden Route’s most sought-after countryside.
If you’re ready to trade the noise of the city for the whisper of the wind through the trees, this farm is waiting for you.
