Pristine Cederberg private sanctuary
Introducing this unique asset : one of only a limited amount of privately-owned reserves situated in the pristine natural Cederberg biosphere between Citrusdal and Clanwilliam in the Western Cape Province. A special feature of the region is the aesthetical qualities of the unspoiled natural surroundings, contributing to the general appeal of the greater Cederberg area. It is therefore a popular eco-tourism destination, with various farms and reserves (including Cape Nature) offering a selection of hospitality choices and excursions. This particular farm itself is renowned for dramatic topographical features and for its cultural-historic significance, being one of the oldest original farms in the region.
The potential for tourism is unlimited. The rustic accommodation is aimed at visitors seeking the close-to-nature experience. It would be possible to upgrade this to a higher level without doing harm to the traditional and unspoiled environment.
As a bonus, the quality and success of the boutique-style wine-grape vineyards have been quite remarkable. From the first harvest in 2009 a multitude of local and international awards have been won.
More recently, the farm has also developed into a base for nature research, including on leopards, black eagles, fish and ceder trees. In the process a good network with local and international experts, academics and nature lovers has been established.
Given this background and its unique setting, this opportunity on offer is ideally suited to be developed towards a more formal base for nature conservation and research; alternatively, as an exclusive eco-resort, or private sanctuary.
