This is an ideal place to live or weekend.
Starry nights, peaceful, quiet, gurgling river (Jukskei)
As much water as you need for normal irrigation of gardens, domestic use and dam.
Beautiful windmill, but, unfortunately, no water in this borehole. The water purification is situated under these holding tanks.
Irrigated tunnel
Grow your own organic veggies
Just walk outside and pick fresh veggies and herbs for the pot

Flowers next to the bee hive which produces about 40 x 500ml bottles of honey per season
The bees are near the exit to the water drainage from the kitchen and children's bathroom and therefore don't have far to forage for water. There is a plentiful supply of flowers in summer and large numbers of aloes in winter.
Working from the Wendy House office, next to the garage, you would typically look out onto this scene
Zebra, Wildebeest, Blesbok, Bush Pig, Black Pot Bellied pigs come to the dam to drink
Chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, dogs and cats are also happy residents.
Home time
Hand rearing Moo and Gnu
Access around the perimeter of the smallholding is via a scraped road which is cleaned in winter and assists as a firebreak. Grass is allowed to grow in summer to prevent erosion.
Property
The property is 23Ha surrounded by an electrified 1.8m Bonnox game fence and has a motorised main gate operated by remote control.
A small portion has been fenced off and houses the statutory tenant, the workshop, stores and servants accommodation.
Electricity is supplied by Eskom. There is an 11KVa transformer on the property.
All water comes from the Jukskei river. Drinking and house water is pumped from the river into a settling tank, from there through a sand filter to an Aquamat purification system where chlorine and alum are added to the water as it goes to storage tanks. From the storage tanks it is fed into the clean water system through a sand filter, then a carbon filter. Irrigation water is taken directly from the settling tank.

Access
Two methods of access
At present we have access through Monaghan farm, subject to their rules and regulations and a 40km/hr speed limit. Continuation would be subject to negotiation. This route passes by Lanseria airport
The other route is off the R511next to Northern Farm and is approximately 12Km of dirt road, the most beautiful drive, with views of other farms and the Magaliesberg in the distance. At night the lights of Lanseria can be seen from the road.
