Hello I am Lynne Minnaar, Graaff-Reinet.
I am passionate about the Karoo, having been born and raised here.
In his book, ‘Karoo’, Lawrence Green refers to Graaff-Reinet as "the gem of the Karoo". I could not agree more and it is this image that has captured my imagination and inspired my dream of sharing this unique, soulful place with you.
Graaff-Reinet has much to offer its citizens - an abundance of natural beauty and sought-after lifestyle in the plains of the Camdeboo. Multiple generations have built this community; there is a strong kinship and a sense of pride in the heritage of the town. Graaff-Reinet is a family town with a caring and supportive community, excellent schools and a variety of restaurants ranging from five star fine dining to cosy coffee shops. For nature lovers there are picturesque walks, a nature reserve right on your doorstep and magnificent views from the nearby Valley of Desolation.
My 3 children were raised on a farm in the Sneeuberg nearby and I now have the opportunity to combine my lifelong passion for people and property. Having held Pam Golding in the highest esteem throughout my career while managing my own personal property portfolio, it is fitting that I find myself working in the organisation she founded.
I provide a professional and personalised service and am known for going the extra mile. I understand that each client is different and focus on establishing your personal preferences at the outset. This approach, supported by the values that underpin the Pam Golding organisation, has resulted in many satisfied clients who have found their dream home.
I live my life’s motto, Carpe Diem, by focusing on what makes my life worthwhile, especially if I am doing it with and for others. It is my privilege to be your partner on this journey as you manifest this for yourself and those who you love.
