Although the Piquetberg Nature Reserve is zoned agricultural, it is a private conservancy situated 25 minutes from the town of Piketberg and 90 minutes drive from Cape Town. This 240 ha property rises above the Swartland farmlands at over 800 feet above sea level. The highest point, Aasvoelskop, stands as a natural sentinel at the south west corner of the reserve. Average rainfall is 1 000 mm per annum. To the south, the view can stretch as far as Table Mountain, one hundred and twenty kilometers away, while to the west the conservancy adjoined by neighbouring wilderness provides most spectacular sunsets. This property is very private and located on a remote part of the Piket-Bo-Berg Mountains. It is home to a diverse range of fauna and flora, much of which are endangered. So, if you are a nature lover and appreciate the quiet side of life and spending quality time with close friends & family, then this is the property for you. From the conservancy’s high plateaus you can enjoy the spectacular scenery overlooking the town of Piketberg with the vast Berg River Valley and its wheat and canola fields. Looking over the Bergriver Valley and Swartland, about forty kilometers away are the Cederberg and Great Winterhoek Mountain ranges to the east.This modern, eco-designed, 2-bedroom, 70 square meter cottage was set to fit into the topography of the terrain.
