After 33 years of owning Ben Eden, the family have decided to hand over the custodian rights and "stories of the forest" of the property to the next generation to enjoy as they have done.
The total extent of the farm is 292 ha of which 100 ha is grassland and veld with approximately 180 ha of indigenous bush.
The property is set in the Karkloof Valley, adjacent to the well known Karkloof Canopy Tours.
The water rich property is fed by 4 separate springs which originate in the indigenous forest. It also boats a large dam at the bottom of the farm.
The elevated homestead with extensive views of the Karkloof Valley and beyond, has over time, been converted from the original old homestead to a more user friendly modern living space. This includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large lounge with jet-master fireplace, opening onto an extensive covered patio and a separate dining room opening onto a sunroom and pool. The Farmstyle kitchen has solid wood cabinets with granite tops plus a separate pantry. The chefs delight SMEG gas stove is included in the sale.
Parking is provided by way of a double automated garage plus a double carport. There is a wine cellar off the garage. Outbuildings include a large farm workshop/shed plus an office/lab building.
There are also shade cloth structures which at present house a lifestyle Clivia collection (the Clivia's do not form part of the sale).
Only pre-qualified purchasers should call Richard or Renata for an appointment to view this once in a lifetime property.
