Fijnbosch Farme for Sale

A unique opportunity

It is with regret that we have decided to sell our dream mountain property. We are pursuing other plans and now there is an opportunity for someone to take on this fabulous mountain retreat.

On 1000 hectares of rock and pristine fynbos there is a lot:

incredible views over the sandveld from Cape Town to the Cedarberg
hiking and fynbos walks: the protea atlas project has identified several endangered and endemic protea species on our mountain.
mountain biking: there is a dirt road down the mountain to Aurora, and the possibility of some off-the-track biking on top of the mountain
swimming in one of our rock pools
admiring bushman (san) rock art
rock-climbing: no routes are established yet, but there are a lot of bouldering opportunities and places where you could open up your own routes. The rock is good sandstone.
a borehole has been drilled, but no pump fitted as yet
untapped potential as a guest lodge, with zoning for a main building, several outbuildings and up to five cottages

Our land has a wide variety of Mountain Fynbos. There are many raptors, including Black Eagles. Klipspringer live here, as well as duiker, vaal rhebok, dassies, porcupine and baboons. There are unspoiled Bushman paintings nearby and for most of the year mountain streams and pools. There are hiking trails and walks, caves, rock pools and two waterfalls.

There are several pairs of Black Eagles nesting in the area, and one breeding pair on our mountain itself. There are many other species of raptor and other birds including the rare Cape Eagle Owl. On a warm summer evening one can hear these owls and also the Freckled Nightjars calling in the hills. Over 85 different bird species have been spotted on the mountain.

Animals on Fijnbosch Farme

Small mountain wildlife, such as Klipspringer, Duiker, Vaal Rhebok, Dassie, Lynx, Aardwolf and Baboon is indigenous to this area. We have seen leopard spoor and one of our pickers had the hair-raising experience of encountering a leopard! The baboons are frequent visitors, and some nights while camping a spotted genet has probed our meat containers.
