1893 Schotsche Kloof aka The Farm

 

1893 Schotsche Kloof aka The Farm

Erf 81 also known as Tamboerskloof farm is a retired ammunition magazine that was built by the British military in 1891. Declared as a provincial heritage site by the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) the farm is located off Military Road, at the foot of Signal hill, between Tamboerskloof and the Bo-Kaap in Cape Town, South Africa. Surrounded by both the urban and natural environment the farm is home to a diverse community, animal and plant species. 

The farm has become a social and creative hub for many residents and artists from different cultural backgrounds. The community’s objective is to create and preserve natural spaces within urban zones. Create a healthy, inspiring, and echo friendly living, with the focus on a sustainable model of farming within the bustling urban environments such as Cape Town city. 

There is a rumour of a secret Tunnel to the Castle of Good Hope. However, we have found a secret trap door that leads into an Underground Vault. The larger Bunkers are currently used by Artists which are known for their impressive Arts.
