Property Ladismith
Ladismith is situated in the Klein Karoo and lies along the Route 62 at the foot of the Klein Swartberg mountain range.
The majestic Towerkop, with it’s split peak, looms above the town. Ask even the youngest Ladismithian to draw a mountain, and nine times out of ten it will be Towerkop – the rare exception who draws something else must be the tenth child of a family newly settled in the town – because Towerberg is charged with all the magic its name suggests.
Local legend has it that an angry witch, flying overhead, struck the peak with her wand, causing the split which today is seen from afar.
No one needs to go any further to know that the peak changes marvelously, so that it looks bewitchingly different from every angle. Anyone who still doubt can climb it to fall under its spell.
The town was established in 1852. Named after Lady Juana Smith, wife of the Governor of the Cape, Sir Harry Smith. The original “Ladismith” was changed in 1879 to “Ladismith” to prevent confusion with a similarly named town in Kwazulu Natal.
Ladismith serves as an extensive farming area with ideal climate for the production of quality fruit – apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines and grapes. Ladismith produces a third of South Africa’s apricots! If one travels east through the beautiful Hoeko Valley, breathtaking views of the orchards in the spring and autumn can be experienced.
Traveling west of Ladismith, one can visit the picturesque valleys, with the orchards, vineyards and old farmhouses of Dwarsrivier, Voorbaat and Van Zylsdamme.
Ladismith also have two cheese factories, Ladismith Cheese Factory and Parmalat. The local Winery offers the wine lover a great selection of Towerkop wines.
