Sandstone Estates, Railway museum and agricultural estate near Ficksburg, South Africa
Sandstone Estates encompasses 7000 hectares of farmland along the Lesotho border, producing wheat, soya beans, maize, and sunflowers through organic methods.
The Wille family, German missionaries, established the farm in the 1830s, which has evolved into an international agricultural enterprise and transport preservation center.
The estate maintains 24 operational narrow gauge locomotives and over 300 restored tractors, representing South African transportation and farming development.
The Stars of Sandstone event occurs annually between March and May, drawing international visitors to experience vintage machinery and agricultural demonstrations.
Two Royal Train coaches from 1947 enhance the railway collection, while Afrikaner cattle perform traditional haulage duties across the property.
