Love of nature defines this Karoo farmstead in South Africa

Property developer and nature enthusiast Peter van Wyk has created his personal piece of paradise at Blaauwheuvel, a farm 70km from Sutherland, near the Tankwa Karoo National Park. It is an ideal place to escape and recharge. The 19th century home was a typical thatched Karoo farmstead that stood next to a derelict school. By connecting the two buildings, he was able to create a four-bedroom, symmetrical home that retains original style of the property.
