Property Highlights
Expansive Farmland:
Situated in one of Mpumalanga’s most fertile valleys, approximately 30 hectares of the estate is dedicated to a diverse array of quality crops. The farm is home to established avocado orchards featuring the Fuerte, Hass, Ryan, and Pinkerton varieties, prized for their export potential. Additional land supports thriving macadamias, litchis, and bananas, with potential for expanded planting across the property’s abundant 193 hectares.
Agricultural Viability and Water Resources:
The property’s infrastructure supports a reliable and sustainable farming operation. A robust borehole provides an impressive 1,500 liters per hour, supplying water to both the farm and lodge areas. Two dams, one of which enhances the lodge’s scenic appeal, serve the property, while the carefully irrigated fields are ready for additional cultivation.
Historical Lodge and Victorian Furnishings:
Rooted in elegance, the lodge offers a distinctive experience, having hosted dignitaries, including former President Mandela in its “Mandela Suite.” The lodge features a presidential suite, romantic Victorian units, and charming courtyard rooms – all graced by luxurious, custom Victorian furniture valued at an estimated replacement cost of R17 million.
Scenic Manor Houses and Event-Ready Chapel:
Nestled among the estate’s lakes and gardens are two stunning manor houses, offering breathtaking views and tranquil living. The chapel adds a timeless romantic quality, ideal for private events and family gatherings. Designed to match the estate’s historic charm, each manor boasts spacious, en-suite rooms, creating an atmosphere where family and friends can share in the estate’s unique allure.
Endless Potential for the Discerning Buyer:
Whether envisioning a thriving agricultural business, exclusive lodge re-opening, or serene family retreat, this estate offers a blend of endless potential and timeless character. The lodge’s proximity to Mpumalanga’s top tourist destinations and the estate’s sweeping landscapes make it not only an investment in land but also a chance to own a piece of heritage, deeply rooted in the beauty of South Africa’s Lowveld.
