***EXCLUSIVE MANDATE***
Perfectly located in the heart of the Karoo, the renowned Calitzdorp Country House offers sweeping views across vineyards and orchards to the majestic Swartberg Mountains. This magnificent home features six luxurious, air‑conditioned bedrooms, each with a private patio, garden, and tranquil fountains.

The main house boasts elegant dining and sitting rooms with colonial‑style ceiling fans and full air conditioning. Living spaces flow seamlessly to a flagstone courtyard, ideal for breakfasts or al fresco dining. Water fountains frame the swimming pool and lapa, with vineyards and orchards set against dramatic mountain backdrops. A wine cellar completes the picture of refined country living.
Currently operating as a 4‑star guesthouse, the architect‑designed property showcases high‑quality finishes. West‑facing to capture breathtaking sunsets, it includes solid wood floors, a Mexican fireplace in the sitting room, and a 20‑seater dining room with a serving area and bar. A large covered patio overlooks the mountains, while six spacious double bedrooms each feature heated en‑suite bathrooms. The entrance hall includes a guest toilet, reception desk, and office. The restaurant‑style kitchen is equipped with electricity and gas and supported by a fridge room, pantry, scullery, laundry, and linen room.
A separate cottage with a patio and fireplace provides additional accommodation. Staff facilities include a shower and toilet. Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, a tiled gazebo with a spit braai, a large pond with birdlife, and an irrigated indigenous garden. Parking is ample, with a double garage, a workshop, 11 carports, and additional spaces. Two storerooms, remote‑controlled gates, and three‑phase power ensure convenience and security. The property is partially off‑grid with JoJo tanks, pumps, and Wifi throughout.
The detached cottage mirrors the luxury of the main home, offering privacy with a large bedroom, en‑suite bathroom with imported glass tiles, and an open‑plan living area. A fully equipped kitchen, tiled floors, and a built‑in fireplace add comfort, while decks extend into the wilderness, making it ideal as a manager's suite or secluded honeymoon retreat.
This exquisite property is perfectly suited as a retreat, spa, multi‑family residence, or continued operation as an upmarket guesthouse.
