ENTRANCE – DRIVEWAY – PATHWAYS to DIFFERENT AREAS of the PROPERTY
The driveway into the property passes the façade and long Veranda side of the Main Homestead – when one follows the driveway by taking a right turn – this leads to the Free-standing Building which houses a Single Garage, Car Port [ with further undercover work-space-boat storage space], with the attached, “ Housekeeper” Cottage.
There is furthermore a paved/cemented area between this Free-standing Building and the back entrance of the Main Homestead. This space provides additional parking for 4+ vehicles, under the lushes trees.
Continuing onwards past the Free-standing Building, the Manager’s Cottage situated approximately 100 metres further. The Manager’s Cottage has a typical, metal ‘ farm’ gate, which separates the dwelling from the pathway to the Water & Electricity Tower/Building.
When one continues on the entrance driveway by following the road slightly to the ‘ left’, there is another traditional metal ‘ farm’ gate, which separates the fields and other structures from the inhabited and used dwellings and facilities, as described. FREE-STANDING BUILDING: SINGLE GARAGE – CARPORT – HOUSEKEEPER’S COTTAGE
I have owned, renovated and occupied the property in question for just on 10 years. During that time, I have had no cause to make use of a garage, nor to close the front gate – all of the furniture, décor, artwork and appliances which are visible on the photographs of the property’s outside areas, have been there – for the past 10 years [ updated and changed] – without any harm, foul or loss occurring.
We have a Housekeeper who has 3 young children. With this in mind, I, in 2012, designed and constructed 2 additional bedrooms – using one part of the original double-garage spaces – including an adjacent ‘storage space’ – as well as adding a small, separate kitchen – open-plan dining room area – to what was initially a large one bedroom, one large bathroom space.
The Housekeeper’s Cottage now consists of 3 bedrooms, 1 large bathroom with the open-plan kitchen-dining area. There is furthermore a separate single garage with mezzanine section – which we use for storage purposes + a carport structure.
NURSERIES: DESCRIPTION of STRUCTURES
There are 3 [ three] brick and mortar, ‘ foundational’ structures, upon which fully functioning Agricultural Nurseries could be constructed.
The ‘ main’ Nursery consists of mid-rift high brick and mortar walls, covered by a Fibreglass roofing structure – which is held in place by a steel frame.
There are 2 [ two] additional mid-rift height brick and mortal wall structures, with Steel frames – which could be converted into fully functioning green houses.
“ LABOURER’s COTTAGES: BASIC STRUCTURES At the far end perimeter of the property, as one passes the Nursery Structures, there exists the framework, foundations, walls – with some integrity – of two Labourer's Cottages – 96 m2 in floor space.
This structure could either be demolished and the raw materials re-purposed and/or, could be renovated and fixed up, so as to create an additional rental income cottage and/or additional structure.
The basic integrity of the structure should hold as framework around which one could renovate and upgrade the structure.

STORAGE – PACKING FACILITY: FRAMEWORK OF STRUCTURE As one passes the Manager’s Cottage, walking towards the Water/Electricity Tower, there exists the skeleton or framework of a brick and mortar storage/processing facility.
The foundations appear to be structurally sound, as do the brick and mortar structure – albeit unused for the past 10 years. It is our belief that with very little effort or investments, the framework and foundations could be adapted and built around, to create stables, storage facilities and/or processing facilities – should that be required. GENERAL INFORMATION: CONCLUSION
KLAPMUTS – WESTERN CAPE GROWTH & DEVELOPMENTAL NODE The physical address of the property indicates that it is considered as forming part of Klapmuts. This is clearly due to the fact that the Community of Small-holdings form part of, or are Portions, of the Original Farm, Klapmuts. In reality, Klapmuts [ proper] is situated on the other side of the N1 Highway turn-off. Protea Road is in fact the Indicator/starting point of the Paarl Wine Route.
Klapmuts Proper – has seen significant upgrade and development in the past 2 [two] years, which includes upgrades to the roadways, construction of new traffic lights at the inter-change, the completion of a mini-Mall within 5 minutes’ drive, as well as Residential developments, starting up on the R44 from Klapmuts towards Stellenbosch.
This development bodes well for the value of property in the area, whilst not affecting the sense of a rural, peaceful existence, which is safe, as well as secure.
Peace of Heaven offers a haven to live in peace and quiet, but has the potential, as alluded to, to be developed into a fully Commercialised Agricultural enterprise. The possibility also exists to convert the Main Homestead into a Winelands’ Bed & Breakfast Destination – with sufficient space to construct further cottages for the purposes of creating accommodation for both short and long-stay guests.
The property is also ideally situated for the purposes of providing Conferencing/Events Facilities, as well as a Restaurant/Gastro Pub.
The Community is tight-knit, providing employment and housing to a great many of the local population. This is more than likely one of the factors which contributes most to the no/low crime rate and safety of the area. The employees are protective of their jobs and accommodation and therefore act as a deterrent to criminals. The local branch of SAPS is responsive and effective. They also co-ordinate with the local Farm Watch Security Company – which patrols the area on an on-going basis. The Private Security Staff are mostly drawn from the Police Reservist pool.
There are various excellent Schools within a 10-15km radius, with the University of Stellenbosch, University of the Western Cape, Boland and Wellington Colleges within close proximity.
This is rural living, within reach of all possible amenities and creature comforts. The perfect balance, so as to slow down to the speed of life.
NOTE: There are MINOR repairs which require to be attended to by the Buyers – eg. Replacing broken tiles on the long veranda, scullery and outside back entrance; 3 [three] ceiling repairs; Pool Pump service/Chlorinator service/replacement; Entrance Gate: Repair/Replace Electric Gate Box/Machine Mechanism & Intercom
These are MINOR repairs, estimated to cost no more than R 20 000 – R 25 000-00. We may complete SOME of these repairs during the period that the property is on the Market – but Buyers must be made aware of these minor issues which would require their attention post purchase.
