Farm near Montagu ‘has it all’

A lettable 1ha farm near Montagu, Western Cape, with a selfcatering cottage is going on auction on October 25.

It is regarded as a great investment opportunity.

The property is being let at R12,500.00 a month — R8,500 for the house and R4,000 for the cottage. The main house is being let for six months, while the cottage has a one-year lease in place, from October 1 2017 to October 1 2018.

“This farm has got it all. A stunning four-bedroom, doublestorey house, with welcoming, yet modern finishes. Open-plan living, with an inside fireplace/braai area. A cosy cottage. Absolutely gorgeous, scenic views of the Langeberge and surrounding landscape. A lovely pool in which to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. And most importantly — ample peace and quiet. This property is extremely sought-after,” remarked Tanya Jovanovski, franchisee of Rawson Auctions in Western Cape.

The main house, on the bottom floor, has two bedrooms with built-in cupboards and a study.

Upstairs are the other two bedrooms, as well as a bathroom, an open-plan lounge, dining room and kitchen and a built-in braai. The kitchen is equipped with an oven and hob, and built-in cupboards with a melamine finish.

The other lettable unit, the cottage, sports two bedrooms, a bathroom — with shower, basin and toilet — and a kitchen.

The interior has plenty of natural light, and lots of space to play with.

Outside, there are four small outbuildings, a well-maintained garden with automated irrigation, a carport for four vehicles and the pool. The outbuildings consist of a workshop, office, laundry and a one-bedroom rondavel. The property also has a double garage.

The auction will be by silent tender (written offers in a sealed envelope), with tenders closing on October 25 at noon. The reserve price is R1,999,000.

Rates and taxes are just R2,740.10 a month.
