Pear and Apple Lifestyle Hybrid Farm for sale in the Koo.

MONTAGU RURAL

Tucked away in the heart of the Koo Valley, this working farm offers more than just land—it promises a lifestyle of quiet purpose and productivity. Situated along the R318, only 40 kilometers from Montagu and 190 kilometers from Cape Town, the property is ideally located for those looking to escape the noise of the city while staying connected to essential amenities.

The farm stretches across a landscape of approximately 8 hectares of arable land, divided into commercial fruit and crop production. Here, 4.5 hectares of pear orchards and 2 hectares of apple trees flourish under the region’s high cold unit climate. A further 1.5 hectares is reserved for cash crops—currently home to rows of healthy potatoes fed by dripper irrigation systems. Everything grown here is packed right on-site, supported by the farm’s established infrastructure, that ensure freshness straight from the soil to the box. Farming is made efficient with the inclusion of two tractors, a ghrop and plough, blower, and four bin crate trailers.

Water is abundant and reliable—an increasingly rare luxury. The property boasts two boreholes, including the oldest in the entire Koo Valley, still delivering strong. With output at 14,000 and 30,000 liters per hour respectively, this supply of good-quality potable water fuels the farm’s continued productivity.

The farm is also equipped when it comes to infrastructure. There are three labourers’ cottages, and a substantial 800-square-meter shed housing the office. A laundry, and even a dedicated meat room is adjacent to the main house.

Anchoring the property is a grand farmhouse—solid, spacious, and serene. With four bedrooms and a fifth room that’s served as a creative and functional space for homemaking, it’s a family home built for both rest and purpose. The wraparound veranda keeps the house cool in summer, while the large country-style kitchen is ready to host everything from harvest meals to everyday breakfasts. Water tanks gravity-feed the home, ensuring comfort without compromise.

This is more than just a farm—it’s a place where life is lived close to the land, where tradition meets function, and where every season brings something new to grow, to harvest, and to enjoy.
