Rivers End Farm – A Tranquil, Off-Grid Retreat on the KleinRiver, Stanford

Exclusive Sole Mandate

Located on the sought-after Wortelgat Road, Rivers End Farm offers a rare opportunity to own a peaceful slice of the Overberg’s natural beauty. This prime location is surrounded by high-end luxury lodges, the renowned Springfontein Wine Estate, and the pristine Walker Bay beach —making it a destination that effortlessly blends serenity with sophistication.

Conveniently positioned near Stanford Village and with easy access to the R43 (linking Hermanus and Gansbaai) and the R326 (to Caledon), the property is perfectly situated for both leisure and accessibility. It’s no wonder this area is one of the most desirable holiday destinations for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Outdoor Living & Camping
Well-laid-out camping sites are scattered across the farm—some nestled along the riverside and others elevated with sweeping views. Each site is thoughtfully demarcated, featuring open spaces, braai areas, and electricity points. The network of internal roads and footpaths is in good condition.

Off-Grid Living & Sustainability
Water:
A borehole on the southern boundary draws from the prolific Stanford Aquifer, a vital and sustainable water source serving the region. The borehole currently supplies all farm infrastructure, ensuring self-sufficiency and long-term reliability.
Electricity:
The property is completely off-grid, powered by an 80 kVA battery system supported by 26 solar panels mounted on the barn’s roof. A large backup generator is integrated into the system, ensuring seamless power continuity when battery reserves are low.

Nature & Lifestyle
Rivers End Farm is a haven for nature lovers. The surrounding wetlands and the nearby Vlei bird sanctuary attract an astonishing diversity of birdlife—over 56 species have been recorded by visitors in one day alone.
The elevated section of the farm offers exceptional views of the vlei, the river, the mountains, the lagoon and Hermanus in the distance. Far from the maddening crowd, there is serenity, peace and calm in abundance.

Depending on the season, the Vlei transforms:
• Dry months (September–April): enjoy scenic walks or drive by vehicle across the dry vlei bed, to the river’s edge (approx. 500 m).
• Wet months (May–September): kayak directly from the Vlei into the Klein River, immersing yourself in the tranquil waterway that defines this region.

Future Potential
The farm has exciting agricultural or eco-tourism opportunities. A non-operational reservoir on-site offers additional scope for restoration or irrigation.

In Summary
Rivers End Farm is more than a property—it’s a lifestyle. Offering off-grid luxury, natural beauty, and incredible potential, it’s perfectly suited to those seeking a private retreat, a boutique hospitality venture, or a sustainable living project in one of the Overberg’s most sought-after destinations.
