Driving a short way up the Franschhoek Mountain Pass, then down a side road, around a bend, through huge ancient blue gum trees, and then only do you get to experience the full view of this very special homestead of the Bo La Motte Farm.
It is as if this majestic sample of a Cape Dutch Manor House stands guard over the valley below. On any day, the play of the light of the sun and the shadows and the clouds emphasizes the three-dimensional setting of the mountains below in the Valley and also the vista high up above the Franschhoek Pass.

This masterpiece in Cape Vernacular architecture is not a heritage house but was constructed in the 1980s according to historical accurateness, from the roof beams down to the floor tiles.
Walking into the house, passing under two semi-circular staircases in the "voorhuis" (entrance hall) through to the "binnehuis" (inner hall) you will be awed by the space and volume of these rooms. The kitchen, to the back of the house, comes complete with a massive hearth and is large enough to house a long table as well as all the other usual kitchen amenities. Typical in character, the floors and the high ceilings of the house consists of beautiful polished wood and terra cotta tiles.
To the left of the entrance hall is a large study and to the right is a complete bedroom suite.
Two more bedrooms, as well as a living room, are upstairs.

The 7-ha farm is essentially a lifestyle farm and no current agricultural activities exist.
Situated on a slight slope, it is ideal for keeping horses in paddocks or planting vineyards.
The entire farm is fenced and access is through an electric remote-controlled gate.
There are 3 vacant farm worker cottages in need of renovations.
Water is from 2 boreholes.

The opportunity exists that the Company owing the farm (agricultural zoned), sells 100% of the shares of the company, and the transaction is therefore excluded from Transfer Duty.
The Company is not VAT registered and therefore not subject to the payment of VAT.
The Company is free of debt or other financial liability.
Offers will be considered.
