Sheltered by dramatic granite koppies in close proximity to Tonteldoos lies this scenic 112ha farm. Tonteldoos is a hamlet about 25km from Dullstroom on a gravel road for which a high clearance vehicle is advised. The farm can currently accommodate quite a number of guests in different facilities. The homestead has enormous rooms with fire places and a wood stove reflecting the old fashioned hospitality the area is renowned for. Two rustic stone cottages close to the main house can generate income immediately. The property has six rondavels which are newly thatched linked by a spacious entertainment area where guests can enjoy magnificent sunsets overlooking the dam. The campsite with modern ablutions can accommodate about 20 guests and has breath taking views towards the Steenkamps Mountains. The farm has a strong borehole, 4 strong fountains and a perennial stream flowing through the bottom of the farm.

There is a fitted solar system to allow the farm to function completely off-grid.
Specs for the system are as follows:
-Sunsynk 16kw single phase inverter.
-4x5.12 kwh batteries
-24x475w monocrystalline panels.
The three-phase electrical system has also been converted to single phase. The borehole now has two pumps operating in tandem, one 0.37kw single phase electrical pump delivering 1500 liters an hour, with a fitted timer switch to give optimal performance of the off-grid solar system.

There is about 15ha of arable land and cattle handling facilities to support small farming ventures. The grassland combined with mountainous outcrops provide the perfect backdrop for an abundance of bird and small game species. This property has the potential to be developed into a thriving guest farm where one can be self sufficient and grounded to nature in its purest form. Read more...
