Heritage Analysis
SITE & STRUCTURE DESCRIPTION:	Fransen notes that “the homestead has few equals in the Cape” (2004: 202) and draws attention to the proportions of the front facade, the high degree of intactness of the joinery and internal elements, and the magnificent situation of the house, both within the context of the werf and the valley itself, being set against the mountain peaks and at right angles to the approach road. Other important buildings are the cellar (c1800), and modern outbuildings located on the founda tions of older outbuildings. Werf walls, formal gardens and mature trees complete the whole.
History:	Schoongezicht farm is one of the earlier grants in the valley, and a deduction of Rustenburg, made by the then-owner of Rustenburg, Jacob Eksteen, for his son-in-law, Arend Brink, in 1810. Brink and his wife likely occupied the site, built many of the structures, and ran the farm as a separate enterprise to Rustenburg from the late 1700s (Fransen, 2004: 201)
