Amoung olive groves
Nestled in the
L emoenshoek mountains
On the folded foothills of the Langeberg mountains lies a farm of many facets. Just 15km from Barrydale along the renowned R62 route, Lemoenshoek is just magnificent, cradled by mountains and under the wide skies of the Klein Karoo. Here you breathe clean, unpolluted air and savour still evenings layered with light. It’s a coveted lifestyle in a healthy climate, befitting lovers of privacy and authentic living. For stargazers, Lemoenshoek is pure nirvana.
Relax in the
Klein Karoo
The 4-bedroomed, 4-bathroomed homestead of Voëlvlei is everything an atmospheric farmhouse should be. Thick walls, reed ceilings and cool, polished cement floors cater for hot summers; fireplaces quickly cosy the home in winter. Built in the U-shaped traditional vernacular, everything used to create the homestead was made and sourced locally – it’s thoroughly Klein Karoo from foundation to parapet, including the dry-packed, slate feature walls and outdoor shower cove, lintels from fence posts, wooden sash windows and Oregon doors are refurbished finds from Karoo journeys. Proportions throughout are effortlessly just right.

The
Olive Process Take an amble through the rose garden to the extensive olive grove beyond, and on to the boutique olive oil pressing plant, where the finest Italian equipment yields world-class extra virgin olive oil. While naturally you must oversee the operation, should you be a gentleman (or indeed lady) farmer of a more genteel persuasion, you’ll be happy to know there’s accommodation for a manager plus two cottages.

LEMOENSHOEK FARM, Barrydale, Klein Karoo
One of the aspects we adore about bringing a farmstead to market is offering up a veritable Pandora’s Box of suggestions, then observing as the new custodians embark on their own personal journey. Lemoenshoek Farm, to be found 15km from Barrydale in the Klein Karoo, is a wonderful example of a farm offering a range of options, allowing you to create your perfect lifestyle. Built with sustainability in mind, the ochre toned farmhouse nestles sensitively into the deeply folded foothills of the Langeberg mountains. Thick walls, polished cement floors and reed ceilings keep things cool in the Karoo’s searing summer heat. Large open fireplaces soon bring warmth and coziness during winter’s chill. With zero light pollution, moonlit nights see the mountain ethereally bathed in layers of light above the vast starlit Karoo skies. Take an amble through the rose garden to the extensive olive grove beyond, and on to the boutique olive oil pressing plant, where the finest Italian equipment yields world-class extra virgin olive oil. While naturally you must oversee the operation, should you be a gentleman (or indeed lady) farmer of a more genteel persuasion, you’ll be happy to know there’s accommodation for a manager plus two workers cottages already. Then to the untapped arena of Lemoenshoek – a large game sanctuary, fully fenced and ready for stocking. With zoning in place for tourism this is where your imagination can truly run wild! It is perhaps a project that will lovingly unfold over time. Or maybe you will take a different direction entirely. Lemoenshoek Farm is a place of pure potential…allow your dreams to fly!
