Felicita means Happiness and Bliss

Felicita is a fantastic opportunity as a going business idea, and a very rare opportunity to acquire a 100-hectare tourism and fynbos paradise.

Felicita dominates the top of the Stanford valley hillside and boasts an abundance of wildlife, flora, fauna and unparalleled vistas of the Overberg and Kleinrivier mountain range. Felicita’s strong preservation endeavours ensure the land stays free of alien vegetation, and is indicative of a passionate determination to keep the terrain as naturally beautiful as possible. The Milkwood forest is enchanting and is over a 800 years old – whispering the secrets of ages. Felicita’s low carbon footprint means it is self-sustaining, eco-friendly, and powered by solar systems and gas.

Felicita is in the Western Cape’s Overberg region and is a favourite holiday destination for both locals and tourists. Only 10 kilometres from the historic town of Stanford, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The neighbouring farm, Panthera Africa Big Cat sanctuary, has all enthralled by its’ roaring lions. Nearby Gansbaai provides shark-cage diving and whale watching. For those who enjoy the rewards of the vineyards, Felicita is surrounded by some extraordinary wineries. For the fitness junkies – biking, hiking and walking trails are all around. Hermanus, 25 kilometres away, offers a variety of restaurants, cafes, shops, entertainment, regular farmer’s markets, and activities. And the Blue Flag beaches are world class.

The accommodation comprises of:

Dimora – An 8 bedroom, 5 bathroom, Tuscan-styled lodge. With a triple volume banqueting hall with exposed beams, that hosts a large medieval fireplace, rustic chandeliers and a Juliette balcony. The ambience is tranquil and enthralling. The suites are large, each with its own spectacular view. The fully equipped, spacious kitchen is ideal to prepare your gourmet meals if a traditional “braai” on the terrace is not on the menu. The wood-fired pizza oven on the terrace is also great for some adventurous Italian cooking. You can dine at the rustic wooden table in the main dining area with a fireplace, perfect for those cooler nights, or outside on the terrace where you can continue to enjoy the magnificent mountain vistas. The pool is the place to be, soaking up the sun, taking in the view and fully relaxing.

Villa – A contemporary 3 bedroom house, named “The Villa”. The rooms are set out to offer maximum space and are decorated with simplicity. The main bedroom has a queen-size bed and lovely en-suite with a bath and shower duo. The second bedroom also has a queen-size bed, while the third bedroom is set out with 4 single beds (which can easily be converted into a double if required). Each room has sufficient cupboard space. There is a second bathroom fitted with a shower. It has a fully-equipped kitchen with necessary appliances. The patio is covered and has a built-in braai, and has breath-taking panoramic views of the landscape and its unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. There is also a “kraal braai” which is a fantastic place to relax with family and friends under the magical starry skies.

Felicita is truly an enchanting place, where mind, body and soul are restored and soothed into tranquillity and guests are truly attracted to her pure beauty. Self-catering guests have made bookings into 2023 and there is a fantastic couple that manage the bookings, guests, functions, and events.

Felicita is self-powered by solar systems and gas, so there no effect of loadshedding and potential blackouts. Adding to the independence of Felicita, the water supply is directly sourced from a naturally cascading spring that flows down the Modderriver through Felicita. A dedicated wifi radio link provides stable connectivity to the outside world. For storage and equipment, there is a 300 square-meter pack store with two apartment rooms for staff. The infrastructure is well-maintained and in excellent condition.

Helicopter landing pad, camping area and a paintball field are to be new additions to Felicita.

It is not often that a piece of paradise with this potential becomes available.
