About This Property
Ultra-Luxury, Water-Rich Mega lifestyle-Farm & Income Estate
Glentana, Greatbrak River, Garden Route
This premium 88-hectare lifestyle and production estate spans two adjacent titles (65 ha and 23 ha), perfectly situated directly off the N2 highway. Positioned to eliminate any gravel-road transit, the property offers unmatched accessibility and sits minutes from George Airport (GRJ), striking a balance between rural privacy and urban connection.
This asset functions as an expansive multi-tenant income stream, a luxury equestrian compound, a turnkey agricultural operation, and a private game lodge rolled into one. At the heart of the estate is an exceptional water infrastructure, tapping directly into the Maalgaten River via registered Witels River water rights with four certified boreholes and massive storage networks, rendering the farm completely drought-resilient.

Potential Uses of the Farm (Area-Specific Potential)
Based on the Western Cape's rich agricultural climate and the Garden Route's thriving tourism sector, this property offers incredible versatility beyond traditional lifestyle farming:
- High-Value Export Agritech Hub: The George region features a moderate climate and fertile soils highly suited for cash crops. Armed with heavy 3x3 Eskom power, a 10 kW solar backup, 75 hectares under irrigation, and exceptional water security via the Witels / Maalgaten River rights, a buyer could easily transition the pivot areas into profitable, export-ready berry, avocado, or macadamia orchards.
- Elite Equestrian Estate & Breeding Academy: Given that the property already features 24 immaculate stables, an arena, a training ring, and self-sustaining Teff production (which currently retails at R1,000 a bale), it is ready to be operated as a top-tier regional equestrian facility. The zero-gravel access straight onto the N2 allows stress-free transport for valuable sports or breeding horses moving between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.
- Turnkey Meat Production & Game Butchery: Investors can reactivate the on-site meat processing facilities and commercial cold room. Taking advantage of the 40 to 50 established cattle camps and the game-fenced Springbok population, a buyer can build a profitable farm-to-fork brand or a high-end specialty venison butchery serving the wealthy coastal markets of Wilderness, Knysna, and Mossel Bay.
- Premium Agri-Tourism & Wellness Eco-Resort: Following local success stories like The Red Berry Farm in George, this estate can expand into a full-scale tourism destination. Under the George Municipality Integrated Zoning Scheme By-Laws, agricultural land can apply for consent use to expand tourist facilities. The 3 existing lakeside holiday cottages, 4 fishing dams, and roaming Springbok provide a perfect canvas for a luxury eco-lodge, day-spa, or boutique wedding venue just minutes from the airport.
- High-Yield Institutional Property Portfolio: With 8 houses, 4 staff quarters, and 16 caravan slots bringing in reliable monthly revenue alongside the holiday cottages, an institutional property buyer can run this strictly as a diversified rental portfolio. The 3,000 sqm warehouse offers further leasing potential for regional logistics or storage operations right off the N2 corridor.
