Joint Mandate
Positioned along the N2 in Harkerville, perfectly between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, Sassenheim Estate is an exceptional 86.5-hectare Garden Route farm for sale offering a rare combination of established agricultural infrastructure, income potential and lifestyle appeal.
Inspired by its Dutch namesake, the estate has been thoughtfully developed into a productive and versatile farming operation. At its core are three state-of-the-art Richel multi-span greenhouses, fully computerised and designed for optimal climate control. These support vegetable production, cut flower cultivation and propagation, supplying both local and export markets.
A key feature is the 10-hectare macadamia orchard, comprising approximately 2,500 young trees approaching full production, supported by an on-site nursery. Additional flower fields and a well-equipped pack house with drying rooms and cold storage ensure efficient processing and distribution.
The property includes a three-bedroom manager’s house, a cottage currently used as an office and an additional staff cottage, providing practical on-site accommodation. Water security is excellent, with two boreholes and a dam, while 120 solar panels, an inverter and backup generator enhance the farm’s sustainability and operational efficiency.
Beyond its current success, this Plettenberg Bay farm offers outstanding future potential. Its location and natural beauty make it ideal for eco-tourism, a wedding venue, retreat centre, organic farming or further agricultural expansion. Indigenous forest, a flowing river, scenic trails and abundant birdlife complete the lifestyle offering.
Sassenheim Estate is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully functioning Garden Route farm with infrastructure, income streams and exceptional development potential in one of South Africa’s most sought-after rural regions.
