PHI | The Ivy Farmhouse

T H E I V Y FA R M H O U S E GR EY TON, OV E R BE RG

Farmhouse retreat Greyton’s Cape country charm reminds many of us of a quaint English village, complete with the pub, leafy lanes and pretty gardens. But there’s much more to this much-loved Overberg gem surrounded by rolling farmlands and bordered by the spectacular Riviersonderend mountain range. Weekenders come for its village atmosphere, mountain bikers and trail runners come for its challenging country routes through wild, scented fynbos and hikers head into the mountains, enjoying deep tea-coloured pools along the way. Others choose to work remotely and live here, enjoying the peace and quiet of a country retreat where children can enjoy a relaxed and stress-free lifestyle … and there’s no better place to escape than The Ivy Farmhouse with its little stone cottage.

THE IVY FARMHOUSE Greyton, Overberg

Behind ancient walls, its wonderfully shaded garden, lush lawn and pool area is surrounded by wild grasses and abundant lemon trees laden with summer fruit – the most glorious retreat in sizzling summers. Every window and door of this beautifully restored farmhouse opens to this leafy oasis with sunshine streaming in the living areas and generous kitchen, a warm and welcoming space where friends come together to chop, chat and cook. Lunches are laid-back, siestas are restorative, and by late afternoon – come rain or shine – this close community comes out to walk, some stopping for an early dinner at Greyton’s cafes and restaurants.

Others enjoy sundowners from their own private garden, light the fire, and create delicious country meals together after a day spent exploring.

Late lie-ins are de rigour here, although some may be tempted to rise at dawn and head out for a jog or walk along the river where gentle mists slowly give way to the warmth of the morning while horses graze on fresh green grass. There’s nothing quite like the fresh country air to start the day, but on returning to the village hub, the scent of coffee from sidewalk cafes is irresistible.

With its large and secluded garden surrounded by mature trees and mountain views, The Ivy Farmhouse offers the perfect combination of a family lifestyle with the potential of income from the separate little cottage in the garden, which is fully renovated and ideal for weekend stays. It also offers work-from-home potential or an artist’s studio or creative space.
