South African Ranch Overview

This South African ranch once belonged to famed golfer Gary Player. In addition to a private golf course (of course), the farm also has facilities for raising and training racehorses with stables, treatment rooms and an oval race track.

Lawn and House at Night

Acres of lawns and forests encompass the property and all its amenities. There's also a tennis court, private chapel and several guest units.

Entrance Courtyard With Koi Pond

One of the home's spectacular spaces is this enclosed courtyard that features a koi pond naturally lit by a large skylight overhead.

Hallway With Antler Chandelier

The main residence features vaulted ceilings and rustic accents in keeping with the ranch's roots. An antler chandelier lights this hallway and there's a animal hide rug underfoot.

Rustic Living Room With Vaulted Ceiling

A vaulted ceiling and French doors that open to the home's outdoor spaces make this living room feel so light and airy. A large natural fiber rug grounds the interior.

Large Country Kitchen With Pot Rack

This large kitchen feels simple in style, with white countertops, clean-lined cabinets and bare walls. But the amenities are chef quality and the long island makes sure there's plenty of prep space to go around.

Rustic Dining Room With Striped Rug

Host 12 in great comfort and style in this home's formal dining room that mixes friendly ranch details with grand-scale elements like the long, glass dining table.

Guest House Living Room

There are two guest flats and a three-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house on the estate. This one has a barn-like feel with a sliding door and vaulted roof.

Rustic Bedroom With Purple Sofa

A royal purple velvet sofa gives majesty to this big bedroom that looks out over lawns and mountains.

Bedroom With Metal Canopy Beds

This bedroom is a chic twist on rustic style with matching metal canopy beds, a stone floor and ensuite bathroom with glass walls.

Backyard With Lap Pool

In the middle of a stretch of green lawn, a blue lap pool is the crown jewel. The property also includes a three-bedroom guest house with its own pool.

Barbecue Area and Lap Pool

The outdoor spaces of this South Africa estate are as spectacular as the interiors. Here, a lap pool is bordered by an enclosed barbecue area with a hot tub.

Private Golf Course

The estate's private golf course was designed by professional golfer and the ranch's former owner, Gary Player.

Horses and Stable

This ranch has been breeding and raising champion race horses since 1883. There are stables, veterinary offices, tack rooms, a race track, exercise paddocks and more.

Stable and Exercise Area

In addition to luxurious living quarters, this ranch is also a world-class stud farm with 46 stables and 14 staff houses as well as exercise paddocks and an enclosed race track.
