Introducing an extraordinary opportunity nestled within a declared nature reserve, this large private property boasts unparalleled privacy and security while bordering Lanseria's burgeoning Smart City development, promising significant capital growth potential. Spanning an expansive 21.7 hectares, this pristine sanctuary hosts a single-story stone and brick house, thoughtfully positioned atop an indigenous koppie, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
The property's most remarkable feature is its stunning Crocodile River frontage, graced by both a sizable pool and fast-flowing rapids, their crystal-clear waters inviting you to explore their depths. Here, you'll discover excellent fishing opportunities and a perfect spot for tranquil picnics. The garden, meticulously preserved in its indigenous splendor, showcases a canopy of mature trees, safeguarded for generations.
The main residence comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a charming cottage-style kitchen, and an open-plan living and dining area. Its exquisite stonework, painstakingly crafted with dressed stone, and tasteful tile and quarry tile floors create a sense of rustic elegance. The house is equipped with both gas and electric geysers, ensuring your comfort year-round.
In addition to the main house, the property features a double garage, a generously sized workshop, and a studio cottage, which can readily be expanded to create a spacious two-bedroom cottage with enchanting views. A newly constructed cottage is currently occupied by the Estate Manager, providing an additional accommodation option. Furthermore, there are three brick-built storage units that could be repurposed as stables, workshops, or further accommodations.
The property benefits from an abundant water supply, with rights to pump water from the Crocodile River, boasting two boreholes, including a fully equipped main borehole and backup borehole. The primary borehole's impressive capacity has been tested to deliver up to 5000 liters per hour, with an estimated production of around 20,000 liters per hour. Underground water piping has been thoughtfully installed, complete with an 80mm backbone pipe for extensive irrigation. Additionally, an 80mm pipeline connects to the river for water storage tanks.
A flourishing orchard graces the property, complete with a covered vegetable garden. The orchard is laden with fruit-bearing trees, including Peach, Plum, Apricot, Olive, Fig, Pomegranate, Apple, Mulberry, Pecan Nut, Grape Vines, and Kiwi Vines, amounting to approximately 50 fruit trees and vines.
Security is paramount, with an electric fence encircling the domestic areas and a vast, separately fenced region, primed for future development as a vineyard or as a space for keeping animals.
This estate is an integral part of the Crocodile River Reserve, ensuring its status as a protected sanctuary. It's teeming with diverse wildlife, from graceful Giraffe and Zebra to playful Warthog, Wildebeest, and Hartebeest. Native wildlife such as Nagapies/bushbabies, serval, porcupine, tortoise, monkeys, and genets frequently grace the property. The river itself hosts Otters, monitor lizards, and majestic fish eagles, making this an ideal habitat for both flora and fauna.
Completing this remarkable property are a cattle crush and loading ramp, versatile for use with wildlife as well. Four stone water reservoirs offer ample hydration for game and cattle, awaiting your future plans.
This pristine estate presents a unique and unparalleled opportunity to live in harmony with nature while enjoying the potential for substantial growth in Lanseria's new Smart City development.
