64-Hectare Exclusive Lifestyle Estate
Clapper Lark Farm is a distinctively positioned, three-level country estate comprising a main residence, a fully self-contained guest suite, extensive functional outbuildings, landscaped and irrigated gardens and predominantly rewilded farmland. The property balances privacy, comfort and ecological stewardship with secure infrastructure and advanced sustainability systems, all set against panoramic views of the beautiful Riviersonderend mountain range.

Located just 10 km from the village of Greyton, the the estate combines seclusion with convenience. Greyton provides reputable schools, restaurants, shops and access to one of the region's most celebrated outdoor environments, including an expansive nature reserve, mountain trials, MTB routes and open-access walking areas.

Ownership Structure - Clear, Defined and Tax Efficient
Clapper Lark Farm is held within a non-trading (Pty) company that owns two consolidated land portions. The purchaser acquires 75% shareholding in this company, which is directly linked to a clearly defined 75% Exclusive Use Agreement (EUA) over the land.
In practical terms, this provides exclusive use and enjoyment of approximately 64 hectares, including the residence, gardens and majority of the farmland. The remaining 25% portion is separately allocated and is not visible from the main residence, ensuring privacy and uninterrupted views.
The structure is governed by a formal Shareholder's Agreement that clearly defines land use rights, cost-sharing (where applicable), maintenance responsibilities and management oversight. The company exists solely as a property holding entity, ensuring orderly governance and long-term stability.
Importantly, as this is a shareholding purchase, no transfer duty is payable, offering a meaningful cost advantage compared to conventional property transfers.
Full governance documentation is available to qualified purchasers.
Positioned at 320 meters above sea level and north-facing, the residence enjoys both sunrise and sunset light,
a rare combination that maximizes natural warmth, orientation and outlook throughout the day. The setting offers uninterrupted rural tranquility while remaining highly accessible, approximately two hours from Cape Town, one hour from Hermanus or Somerset and around seventy minutes to Franschhoek.
