Property description

UNIQUE 35-HECTARE PROPERTY IN THE MAGALIESBURG MOUNTAINS
OFFERED FOR SALE

The property, known as "Riempie," adjoins both the Dome and Likkewaan Kloofs, in an unspoiled and extremely scenic section of the Magaliesburg mountains. It is situated close to the town of Mooinooi in the North-West Province, on the northern slopes of the Magaliesburg. Properties such as this come onto the market very seldom and need to be preserved for current and future generations. Prospective owners would share a deep love and care for nature and would find peace and restoration through living at Riempie permanently or visiting regularly as a holiday place of escape from city life.

Riempie is registered as a Close Corporation, being Farm Riempie CC. There are currently two Members of the CC, one of whom has recently relocated to Ballito in KwaZulu-Natal. That Member purchased Riempie 23 years ago, largely through the personal recommendation and assistance of the greatest champion of the Magaliesburg, the late Adv. Francois Junod.

The property is not currently being farmed, but a large portion has been game-fenced and has been populated with game, consisting of approximately 30 impala, 3 zebra, 20 springbuck, 2 warthogs, and 6 nyala. These animals are included in the sale. The property is unspoiled, and birdlife is prolific.

Care has been taken to ensure that improvements have been kept simple and in keeping with the spirit of the surrounding mountainside. The emphasis has been on creating a peaceful space for companionship, rest, relaxation, re-connection, walks, chats around the evening fire, and generally finding an antidote to stressful modern living. The buildings consist of:

•A main house with 2 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a large open-plan kitchen and living area, and a huge covered patio.
•A central house with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open-plan kitchen and living area, and a large covered patio.
•A third cottage consisting of 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large covered patio.
•Two outside showers and an outside bath.
•Outbuildings, including accommodation for a permanent caretaker or staff member.

Also included:

•A strong borehole currently supplying all the water needs, Eskom power, a reservoir-swimming pool, a second reservoir, a full electric fence around the housing section, a linked alarm system, a braai area, a sprinkler system for the lawns, all beds, furniture, appliances, crockery, cutlery, and linen.
•The tractor is included in the sale.
•Some personal belongings with sentimental value will be removed.
•Hostess and one farm worker stay on the property for upkeep and maintenance.

All the furnishings are included in the sale - cutlery, crockery, washing machine, dishwasher, 3 large refrigerators, 1 mini-fridge, 2 microwaves, 3 kettles, braai, 5 double beds, 4 bunk beds, 2 sets of couches, tables, chairs, hot tub. All animals are included as well - dogs, zebra, impala, springbok, nyala, warthog.

There is a borehole, Jojo tank, and two main reservoirs; Rand water is next door, so the water quality is crystal clear. The farm was once a naartjie farm before a big fire burned most of the trees, but we still grow some: Lemons, Naartjies, Pecan nut Trees, and Granadilla. Only pre-qualified or cash buyers would have the privilege to book a viewing of this property. Proof of funds is essential in the case of a cash buyer. A 40-minute drive from Rustenburg and only 1 and a half hours from Gauteng.
