R180,000

Set against the foothills of Cathkin Peak, Fernwood offers something increasingly rare: private access to an extraordinary mountain landscape, without the responsibility of maintaining a holiday home throughout the year. This offering is for one of 2x available three week share block sequences in Chalet 8, each priced at R180,000. The allocated occupation periods rotate annually, allowing shareholders to experience the Drakensberg across different seasons. Chalet 8 is a fully furnished and equipped eight sleeper retreat, comfortably accommodating family and friends across three bedrooms and an upstairs loft sleeping area. Each bedroom has access to its own bathroom facilities, while the generous living spaces include a well equipped kitchen, fireplace, WiFi, satellite television and braai facilities. The chalet opens onto a broad timber deck overlooking the indigenous garden and dramatic mountain surroundings. A private swimming pool creates a secluded space for long summer afternoons, while the fireplace and warm natural finishes make the home equally inviting during crisp winter stays. Fernwood is an exclusive private share block estate comprising only 24 chalets across approximately 230 hectares. The chalets have been positioned for privacy, with magnificent views across the Champagne Valley and Cathkin Peak. The farm borders the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park and offers direct access to the Monks Cowl area and its extensive mountain trails. Fernwood is also recognised as a Site of Conservation Significance and falls within the protected buffer zone of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shareholders enjoy access to walking and hiking trails, horse riding, tennis, swimming, fly fishing, bird watching, roaming game, a children’s play area and a clubhouse with a games room. The surrounding Champagne Valley offers further access to golf, restaurants, shops and a wide range of outdoor attractions. The annual levy covers the maintenance and servicing of the chalet, security, housekeeping and electricity consumption. A daily cleaning service is available during occupation at no additional charge. The estate is not open to the general public, preserving the privacy and peaceful atmosphere that make Fernwood so special. Shareholders may exchange or privately rent their allocated periods among the Fernwood shareholder community, subject to the scheme’s rules. Commercial advertising and short term letting to the general public are not permitted. This is not simply an annual holiday. It is a place your family can return to through the years, where children have the freedom to explore, generations gather around the fire, and the mountains remain reassuringly unchanged. **Two three week sequences available. R180,000 per sequence.**
