For rather more than a century the Hartford and Summerhill Farms have been inextricably linked. Royalty and great Ministers of State have trodden this beautiful property within sight of Giant's Castle in the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains. In 1991 the internationally renowned Summerhill Stud acquired the historic Hartford Country Lodge and restored it tastefully, brick by brick, to its former Victorian glory. 
Today, Hartford House languishes amidst manicured gardens abundant with cherry trees and roses, surrounded by sun dappled valleys at the heart of thoroughbred and champion stock country.
