Herold, George

Located in the quaint village of Herold, between George and Uniondale, this unique property offers an authentic country lifestyle in the heart of South Africa’s hops-growing region. Surrounded by towering mountains and open skies, it’s a place where nature, history, and opportunity come together.

This 7-hectare estate is steeped in heritage, featuring lovingly restored historical buildings that tell stories of a bygone era. The former police station now serves as a comfortable and character-filled home, complete with a dining room, lounge, kitchen, and pantry. Nearby, the old post office has been transformed into guest accommodation, offering four charming en-suite bedrooms, a communal kitchen, and laundry facilities—ideal for hosting groups or families seeking a countryside escape.

The original farmhouse adds warmth and rustic charm, with three cozy bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge, and a kitchen. Generous patios invite guests to unwind and take in the stunning natural surroundings.

The land is thoughtfully laid out: two hectares between the road and river, two behind the main buildings, and three hectares around the historic core. Every inch reflects the peaceful rhythm of country life, with sweeping views and room to grow.

Two additional cottages expand the hospitality offering. One features two en-suite bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, and patio; the other includes a spacious living area, one bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and a large outdoor area—ideal for alfresco dining or stargazing.

A 180m² workshop adds further commercial potential, offering space for creative or entrepreneurial ventures.

With an established and operational guesthouse already in place, this property offers a rare opportunity to step into a tranquil lifestyle while running a character-rich business in a truly scenic setting.
