Description

Is your idea of perfection to share a conservation haven with extraordinary views stretching across the Stanford Valley all the way to the ocean and Hermanus in the far distance? To wake up each day to the aromatic scent of fynbos and a profound peace broken only by the trill and chatter of indigenous birdsong? HaesFarm is that rare find: a 40-hectare lifestyle farm for sale in the Western Cape, Overberg area, dedicated to conserving the timeless tranquillity and unspoilt flora and fauna of Walker Bay fynbos zone.

Twelve years ago, the owners scoured the Western Cape in search of perfection. When they came across this farm for sale in the Overberg on the rim of the valley just 12 km from the heritage village of Stanford, they knew they’d found it. It is here they’ve perfected the art of living according to four essential pillars: Nature (is knowledge); Space (is freedom); Time (is wealth); and Silence (is the ultimate luxury). We couldn’t agree more with this life-renewing philosophy grounded in sustainable principles.

Their philosophy embraces a mindful life lived sustainably and off-grid, with their own water and energy supply, and growing their own fruit, veggies and herbs. HaesFarm is surrounded on all sides by nature conservancies, with like-minded neighbours who view themselves as custodians of an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna and who are equally committed to the long-term conservation status of the area. When the botanists from nearby Grootbos Private Nature Reserve surveyed HaesFarm, they recorded over 1 000 very rare species of fynbos. “Every single day when you walk here you see a new plant, a new flower,” say the owners. This farmland is also rich with abundant wildlife, bokkies, duikers, rooikatte, leopard tortoises, frogs and, of course, birds.

The first step was to update the dilapidated farmhouse. With one of the owners being a Dutch architect with an affinity for the contemporary farmhouse design of the Memphis Group but an equally deep respect for legacy, it makes sense that the inspiration for this clean-lined, minimalist and modern home was the original little farmhouse. They replicated the footprint, wall height and pitch of the roof as a stepping stone to the beautiful modern iteration. Even the “big barn” element of this new home is a blown-up version set at a 90-degree angle, allowing every element to fit together seamlessly.

With respect for nature forming the beating heart of this lifestyle estate, the home was carefully designed to let the outside in, with spectacular views at every turn. At the same time, clever design maximises privacy when you’re at home. So even if you’re on the private terrace of one of the three en-suite bedroom pods, you can savour your solitude and soak up your tranquil environment.

If you embrace the same mindful philosophy, are looking for an extraordinary Stanford property for sale in one of the most magical parts of the Western Cape and appreciate just how rare it is to find all this on the doorstep of one of South Africa’s oldest heritage villages, this eco-friendly home on HaesFarm may be your key to a charmed existence. As you explore options among farms for sale in the Western Cape Overberg, this unique property stands out for its blend of modern sustainability and timeless charm.

HaesFarm has also been featured in VISI magazine, House and Leisure, and on Top Billing and Food Network.
