Skuilkrans Private Nature Reserve, Robertson, Western Cape – Plots for sale

This is a rare opportunity to invest in this heavenly eco-destination, where shareholders can enjoy unparalleled access to the pristine fynbos environment with views for days, all while savouring real privacy and tranquillity.

If you are looking for the closest place to heaven on earth – a profoundly peaceful conservation sanctuary – Skuilkrans Private Nature Reserve in the Overberg is it! This visionary eco-development in the mountain foothills outside McGregor is committed to preserving the natural beauty of the 1 606-hectare reserve, with just 12 exclusive sites spread out through the entire property.

The reserve is designed to maintain the integrity of the fauna and flora, with eco-friendly guidelines that ensure that, once built, each cabin will integrate seamlessly with the landscape. Skuilkrans itself covers expansive undulating territory, which means that each exclusive-use 2 000m² site has been thoughtfully positioned to maximise total privacy and seclusion. The owner explains: “The whole vision is a nature haven to be shared with like-minded people, but when you are there, you feel completely secluded. Not a single site can see – or hear – another, and the topography of land with its hills and valleys allows every site to have a completely unique view.”

Once you’ve wound your way up the 4×4 jeep track to the reserve, you feel a lifetime further away than just 18km from McGregor. “It is high above Riviersonderend with astonishing vistas,” says the owner. “You can see layer upon layer of mountain ranges unfolding into the far distance; on a clear day we’ve counted up to nine layers of mountains visible from certain vantage points. You can see so far it feels as though you’re looking into the future!”

The reserve was once a protea, ostrich and cattle farm, before the current owners converted it to a private nature reserve 30 years ago. “Since then, we’ve let nature do what it does best: restore itself,” the owner says. “Botanists have conducted field surveys of the veld and have found certain species of fynbos here are utterly unique – they occur nowhere else. And throughout flower season the veld comes alive in a vibrant and ever-changing spectacle.”

Skuilkrans is just a two-hour drive from Cape Town, and so it combines the serenity of an off-grid mountain escape with convenient access to the city. Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway or a long-term eco-lifestyle dedicated to sustainable living and conservation, this beautiful reserve offers an excellent investment opportunity for eco-conscious individuals to invest in a pristine nature retreat. The mission of Skuilkrans is to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the reserve while providing a peaceful, off-grid experience for shareholders and their guests. This valuable asset offers both personal enjoyment and the potential for income ecotourism. This is managed through the in-house central tourism management system – brilliant as it saves you all the hassle of dealing with rental visitors.

But the best reason of all to come to Skuilkrans is summed up perfectly by the owner: “When you get to this phenomenal place in the midst of pristine nature, a peace comes over you. There is quietness I have experienced nowhere else. And if a view has a price, this is priceless!”
